Final blog post

       Well, Blogger, it's that time of year. The end of the semester. I have to admit, we've become close and we had a good run; but, alas, it's time to say goodbye. But before we say goodbye, let's review some of the programs that have been used this semester:
       The one that will definitely be used more is Microsoft Word. I don't think I could get through college without using some type of form, whether it is Word or Google Drive's Word. Even more so, since I'm a bio major and we tend to write up a lot of lab reports. 
       PowerPoint is a close second, with Excel trailing. Coming into this class, I knew how to use Microsoft Word and PowerPoint pretty well, and some pretty basic stuff regarding Excel because of classes that I had to take in middle school. Nothing surprised me about those three; however, I did  learn a few new stuff in Word and Excel. 
       If I ever want to start a new blog, and the idea has been in the back of my mind, I know how to set that up and run it. RSS feeds, fonts, titles, pictures... I would say that I'm pretty efficient at it.
       This class taught me that there's a lot more to a computer than people realize, program-wise. I've realized, though, that the easiest way to figure out how to do things is just play around and click on things. I know for a fact that my blog would not look how it is if I didn't poke around on the edit page and click on random buttons. Watching tutorials is another good place to start, and even looking at the FAQ's. The more you mess around on a program, the more you'll get to understand it and figure out how things work.
