Okay, so I just finished writing a letter to my cousin who goes to school in Florida and I would have to say it was very weird. Typically if I want to get ahold of her I would just shoot her a text message. Writing a letter to her seems so odd and formal to me. It makes you take a step back and actually think about what you are saying, rather than just clicking send too fast to even spell check.
\nIf you had asked me to send someone a letter 4 months ago, I would have been ashamed at the fact that I would have struggled to address it. That\u2019s insane! Twelve years of public school education and I would have struggled with addressing an envelope. The only reason I am (barely) comfortable with this form of media is because I wrote close to 50 thank you notes this summer for graduation gifts.
\nIt\u2019s crazy to me that our generation has almost completely eliminated this form of media from our lives. Also, this form of media is very generational. Here at college, my grandma sends me a handwritten letter every week keeping me up to date about her life. I would typically just text her about what\u2019s new with me, but after this assignment I am going to go buy\u00a0stationary and become her official pen pal. Taking the time to analyze what you are going to say when writing a letter truly seems so much more meaningful and heartfelt then texting someone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
