I also liked the resources that you used to back up your argument, but what really kept me interested was when you supported those tips with personal anecdotes.

In future posts, I’d love to hear about the application process. It would be helpful to incoming students, and I’d be interested to see how your process was different from mine.

The use of bold text throughout the post was a simple, but effective way to visually break up thoughts and add emphasis to important points. Also, adding bullet points from another article was a great way to summarize the main ideas of something you read without completely re-writing it. Weaving in personal anecdotes is a way to let your personality shine through text and possibly connect with a reader.

My only criticism would be to be careful with how you use slang terms and short-hand writing in a post, especially if you’re referencing information that readers are not generally knowledgeable about. I hope you’ll consider writing about where exercise can fit into a graduate student’s day—I’ll definitely come back and read that one!
