Why I Didn't Enter A Magazine

 Hello everyone. Today, I will be talking about something more specific to my life. As you can see or as I probably mentioned in my earlier blogs, I like writing. I never thought about it as something I would pursue as my career, but I do write and if I didn't like writing, I probably wouldn't be here writing this blog. I could probably do better things than writing something no one really reads. Then if I liked writing and I wanted my writings to be read, why didn't I enter the school magazine? Well, we actually have two maganizes, one of them is more artisty while the other talks about the school events. I would actually really like to be in the one which talks about school events. But I never applied so it's not about applying and then not getting accepted. It's more like a choice. Let me talk about that.

Firstly, in my opinion, my writing is not that strong. Yes, maybe in English (which I really doubt) but not in my native language which is Turkish. Also, writing a blog and writing something for the school magazine are two different things. In one, I can talk about anything and everything while for the other one I need to be more careful about what I say. Expressing myself in Turkish is not something I tried before. I just wrote a script for the school play we will be performing in some stages. I think our Turkish language and literature teacher liked it (I mean I hope so!) but it still has a lot of flaws. What he said was that he will not be touching any student work (Zaten yapsa şaşarım) but idk. 

Secondly, there are people who are a lot better at writing than me, but looks like they didn't apply too because one of the people who were selected is a bit problematic. Of course just my opinion, maybe he thinks I'm the one overdramatic and problematic but idk. Also those kinds of things are just a lot of work, maybe I would be able to do it but then I wouldn't be able to give all my free time to programming and other competitions. However, I guess colleges like newspapers after all, huh? Maybe I did the wrong choice not applying for the newspaper. But there's no wrong choice or is there? I guess I will find out throught my journey. 

Thank you for reading, I will see you next time.
