The simplest way to answer this question would be to say for many reasons. Why do I, personally, write? I write because I have to. I write because they make us write for school. I write to express myself. I write because I like to. I write because then I don't have to remember as much. I write because I want to tell people how I feel. I write because it's a way to get my ideas down on paper/screen. I write to express opinions.
For example, everyone has to go see the May 4th video. For my FYE class all we had to do was post a little writing on what we thought of it and prove we actually saw the video. After the video I had a lot to say. The people I went to see it with definitely got an ear full of everything I was feeling about the video. When it came time to write my post, I found that I had lost that fire that I had had before.
If you write what you feel, when you feel it, it can be rewarding. Maybe you'll find when you read it later that you don't feel that same, maybe you'll find you forgot you felt that way at all, maybe you'll laugh at yourself for being dramatic. I think that you can only benefit from writing.
