2020 has finally come to a close, words that some people thought they would never hear. The year has been beyond anyone’s predictions, with numerous highs and lows dotted throughout the past 12 months. Over the course of 2020, Sweeney’s Blogs grew at a rate faster than I could ever have imagined, more than doubling our views from 2019. That’s what we are going to be looking at in this blog, how Sweeney’s Blogs did this year!

On Wednesday 11th November 2020, Sweeney’s Blogs passed over 15,000 total views!! This was a massive milestone for the page to hit and was actually the year-end goal that I set for the page at the end of 2019. The page has been growing faster than I could have ever anticipated, which is down to all of you, the readers, and I could not be happier with the direction that we are currently going in!
Let’s take a couple of minutes to celebrate passing such a momentous milestone!

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!
As of Saturday last week, Sweeney’s Blogs has now passed over 8,000 total views! It is an absolutely amazing milestone for the page and is a great reflection of all the work that we have been doing recently! I started the page back on the 3rd February 2019 and we have already got so many more views than I originally thought possible!
I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who has helped support the page, be that through reading the blogs, writing blogs, commenting on your thoughts on the page and so much more. All the help that I receive on the page is greatly appreciated and ultimately helps make the page better for everyone!
The way that I write blogs has dramatically changed since I started the page and that is all down to experience and learning where I go wrong in the past. Some of my earlier blogs have had a bit of an update recently as I thought I could improve them a little bit and make them more consistent with the rest of the conent!
As I was updating all of my blog series, by giving them all their own pages, I edited a few of the blogs to fix any mistakes that were there or if there was a part that I thought I could write better, I reworded it to make the overall flow nicer!
In terms of what you can expect to see on the page in the next few weeks, I have a lot of content planned. The What do we mean by Success series is still running on the page and will be going for another few weeks. I also started the Ideas for Lockdown series on Saturday and the next blog for that will be coming tomorrow.
I will be starting a few series in the next few weeks/months but at the minute I am not sure which order I am going to release them in. I am looking to start a series about the real life of students where I give a real view of the University experience from someone who has been in the position of a student living away from home. I do have a lot more series ideas that I am thinking of and when I have a definite plan for when they are going to be posted, I will let you all know!
That’s all I want to talk about in today’s blog! Thank you all for reading and I hope you have enjoyed! Thank you all for over 8,000 views too, I really appreciate it! I have done a blog a day for the past 16 days now so we’ll see how long I can keep it going for!
Thank you all for reading and I hope you have a great day,

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!
Last week we passed 7,000 views! That is an incredible milestone for the page to hit and I could not be happier with the progress that we are making! We have been running for over a year now and growth seems to be increasing more and more each week! If this carries on we will be well on our way to hitting 15,000 views by the end of the year!
To commemorate hitting 7,000 views, I have drastically changed the layout of the page. The Blogapedia page has now been moved to the dropdown list Blogs, which has a few pages inside. The Blogapedia still acts as a hub for all of the series that I run on the page and will be updated each time a new series blog is released.
The Blogs page itself will act as a highlight page for the blog page itself. In the page, you can find blogs that I recommend reading, the most informative blogs on the page, the most popular posts and much much more! This page will be updated regularly and will hopefully give new readers a great place to start reading blogs!
We now have a page for all of the poems that I have written on the page! This page is called Poetry Corner and acts as a showcase for the poems that I have written and for ones that are still in production! Each poem will have a photo and short description with it and a link back to the original poem post! hope you all enjoy all of the poems!
Thank you all for reading and a massive thank you for getting us to 7,000 views! I have some great ideas in relation to the future of the page so keep an eye out for some new developments! We are smashing through milestones this year so let’s keep this trend going and see where we end up!
Thank you all for reading and I hope you all have a great day!

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!
On the 3rd February 2020, Sweeney’s Blogs turned 1 years old! I cannot believe how much we have achieved in only the first year that we have been running and the difference that we have made and hopefully will continue to make in peoples lives. I have tonnes of ideas and plans in the place for the next year and hopefully we will continue to grow and expand into an even more successful second year!
In our first year we have already had over:
As you can see from the stats above, we have had an amazing year! Going forward, especially with our partnership with HHRUK, I hope to see these stats continue to grow as we expand and develop more and more content, blogs and courses aimed around Stuttering, Stress and Mental Health.
I am also still looking for some guest bloggers for the page so if you are interested please let me know. In regards to the content i am looking for, it can be absolutely anything you want. If you want to write one post every week or one every 6 months that is completely fine! If you have any ideas for blogs or stories chuck me a message and we’ll discuss it further.
I would just like to say a massive thank you for all of the help and that I have received on the page. The page would be nowhere near where it is now without all of you readers, all of the ideas given to me by readers and the advice and support I have received in starting the page. As always i am happy to talk about anything with my readers, within reason, and if you want to have a discussion on any topics that I write about, it is something that I would love to see more of.
Thank you all for reading and I hope you have an amazing day!

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!
Today, Monday, January 14th 2020, is my 21st birthday! I was born back in 1999 and I cannot believe how fast time is going! I have been thinking about how to do this blog for a while and think that I am going to use this post to go through some of my biggest and proudest achievements to date.
Although I only started this page back in February 2019, it has become one of my biggest accomplishments! We have covered so many topics already and this is only the start! We smashed all of the goals I set last year and are branching out to more and more people each day! I am so proud and grateful for everything that the page has done and all I can say is thank you for all the help I have gotten over the year! We still have a long way to go but what a start to the page!
2. My Charity Skydive for The Alzheimer’s Society!
One of the maddest and best things I have done in my life has got to be the 12,000 feet Charity Skydive I did for The Alzheimer’s Society back in October 2019! It was a huge jump for me, ( sorry I couldn’t help myself!), and to raise money for a great cause whilst doing it was even better! We managed to raise over £900 in the end and it was a great day out! I will be doing a blog on it sometime this year so keep an eye out!
3. Coming to the University of Reading!
Coming to University was one of the biggest steps I have taken in my life. The majority of people I spoke to before coming up told me that I wouldn’t last living away from home and that I would drop out in the first few weeks but didn’t I prove them wrong! Working closely with Henley Careers has been amazing too! I even managed to get a blog on their blog page!
Meeting all sorts of new people at University has also been amazing! My flatmates in the first year of university are absolutely incredible people! Meeting great people from all walks of life on both the Computer Science side as well as the Business side of my course has also been great!
4. My jobs as a Lifegurd and Swimming Teacher
I have been a Lifeguard and Swimming Teacher for over 3 and a half years now. It has been an amazing experience for me and I have learned lots of different transferable skills. Being able to teach, advice, help and support people in and out of the pool is a great experience to be a part of and has helped me meet people from all different walks of life.
And so much more! When I first started writing this list I was going to make it a lot longer than it actually is. I only stopped because I noticed that as I was typing more and more ideas were coming to my head and if i carried on then you’d be reading for hours! Instead I am going to make blogs like this every so often as like a recap blog, letting you know what I’ve gotten up to.
Unfortunately the last blog in the Alzheimer’s Avoidance series will not be released this week. I was soriginally going to do it today but due to lack of time, I have not been able to do it. It will be coming next week though so keep an eye out!
Thanks for reading!
