I write a blog under a pen name (for privacy purposes), and I also am a contributor to two very small, independent online publications created by and for teenage girls (also under a pen name). It’s less of a tumblr-type blog, and more of a blog where I’m writing editorials (usually about books, movies, music, feminism, etc.) as well as essays and updates about my life. Sometimes my pieces are really deep and I put a ton of thought into them, and others are more on-the-spot stream of consciousness.
I was wondering if this is something I should mention on my college applications. Do you think it would it make a difference at all? Would it matter that I write under a pseudonym? Would it be a good thing to have as an extra activity, or would my stream-of-consciousness type posts be a turn-off?
