Why I Love Writing for Ridgeback Student Voices

Writing for Ridgeback Student Voices is more than a hobby or job—it’s something I truly enjoy. This platform has given me the chance to share my thoughts, dive into topics I care about, and connect with all you guys! Here’s why I’m so passionate about it (and why I hope you guys will enjoy it too)

1. Bringing Awareness to Important Topics

Ridgeback Student Voices has such a big and engaged audience (you guys!!), and that’s what makes writing here so exciting. It’s amazing to know that I can use this platform to bring attention to issues that matter, whether it’s raising awareness about mental health, tackling social topics, or sharing things that I think more people should know about. The idea that my words can make a difference? That’s what keeps me motivated.

2. Writing About What I’m Passionate About

One of the best parts of writing is being able to share things I truly care about. It doesn't even have to be something profound, heck I love writing about makeup, things to do with friends and shopping. But even if it’s silly it's like having a conversation with readers about the things that matter most to me—and that’s so rewarding.

3. Learning Through Research

Here’s a fun bonus: writing gives me a reason to research things I’ve always been curious about. Sometimes I come across a topic I’ve never really looked into before, and now I get to dive deep, learn about it, and share what I’ve found. It’s such a cool way to keep learning while doing something I love. Here are some of my favourite articles where I did that: 

• How to Avoid Feeling Burnt Out
• Why You Should Replace Your Music with Podcasts
• Hack Your Happiness Through Science
• How to Stop Overthinking

4. Sharing My Perspective

Writing feels personal to me. It’s not just about putting words on a page; it’s about sharing a little piece of myself. Whether I’m writing something light and fun or tackling a deeper topic, it’s my way of connecting with readers and starting conversations that matter.

5. Turning Ideas Into Impactful Articles

One of the things I love most about writing is taking a simple idea and turning it into something meaningful. Whether it’s starting with a small spark of inspiration or a random thought- like is TikTok making me more insecure?-, the process of crafting it into a story or article is so satisfying. It’s like creating something out of nothing—and knowing it can spark conversations or inspire others makes it even better.
