\nIt so often happens that we feel we understand an idea. However, when we try to explain it to someone else, we find out that we don\u2019t understand it as well as we thought we do. Blogging helps put ideas into words: it helps us structure our thoughts and improves our communication skills over time.

- Building commitment
\nAs university bloggers, we are required to update our blogs every month. This builds a sense of self-discipline and ensures we remain dedicated. Such commitment blends into our everyday life as well, from studying for an arduous exam, to exercising daily regardless of the busy study schedule.![\"Image](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tacresults.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/commitment.jpg?resize=443%2C382\")

- Improving your CV (\u2026thus your job prospects)
\nWhen going for a job interview, the employer is always looking for something beyond our grades and GPA. Having the title of \u2018Blogger\u2019 on one\u2019s CV\/resume boosts their image and provides an edge over other applicants.
\nBlogs also serve as digital portfolios: they provide the employers with a unique and creative way to view the applicant\u2019s success and experience.![\"Image](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.collisionregs.com\/images\/cv1.jpg?resize=446%2C232\")

- Expanding your knowledge
\nBlogging requires us to have an adequate command on the topic we are writing about. This often means reading more articles and talking to more people.
\nAdditionally, as we express our ideas to the world, we begin to understand them better. Blogging is a great start to this.![\"Image](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/media.giphy.com\/media\/12AZjJcRGhu9nG\/giphy.gif?resize=446%2C223&ssl=1\")
