Blog Review

When I began this class, I had no idea what to expect. I mean, the name itself sounded like it would be interesting, but I had no idea we would be blogging. Prior to this class, I had absolutely no interest in blogging, and the whole concept of it never actually ran through my head. After learning that we would be reporting our current trends and issues on the blog, it actually caught my interest. It was nice to learn about current issues in the food service industry, and the element of blogging actually helped to communicate these issues with several other people. Through reading and commenting on my group members' postings, I was given an opportunity to learn about other issues that I may have never seen or read about.

This class has made me realize just how important it is to stay on top of trends, and what the effects of reading can do for a young professional. I have always read periodicals and news reports, so this was nothing new to me, but having a class where we could discuss and review the current trends in the industry was fun and interesting. It is a lot different than the traditional academic class where you learn from a book about already established issues. This class was much more about learning real life current issues just as they were happening. It was a great experience, and I believe that blogging has opened my eyes to a whole new idea.

I happen to be very interested in the nightclub segment of our industry, and I will be establishing a nightclub of my own along the line. When searching through various blogs, I have come across this one, which includes news about the industry and current trends that are arising. I appreciate what this has taught me, and I will continue to follow this issue to further my career.
