First Time For Everything

Don't judge me, please. I write how I talk and this is my first blog ever. Okay now that we got that covered, let me explain how this little blogity blog came to be.

I'm a journaler. That doesn't make being a journalism major any easier. You'd think that because it has the word "journal" in it, the writing would be similar. HA! Yeah right. Writing in a journal is so much more free and relaxing. Writing for my journalism classes sucks. There is so much structure to it and it's being graded. It annoys me, yet I stick with it. Don't ask me why. So anyways back to the birth of this blog. My dear friend Hannah Shelburne knows I love to journal and said I should give blogging a try. I laughed and said "Heck no! I don't want complete strangers reading my personal thoughts. That's creepy. And plus who would care enough to read what I wrote?" Her answer was simple and went along the lines of "you never know who could benefit from reading your blog. Maybe they are struggling with the same thing you are and knowing that they aren't alone would make all the difference." or something inspirational like that. Then a couple days later I got a fortune cookie that said "You have the ability to touch the lives of many people" and boom I was sold. For once I got a good fortune, even though that really was more of a statement than a predictor of my future. I honestly don't think this blog will do much, let alone touch lives! But hey, there is a first time for everything. I can now check this off my bucket list. "We can check watching The Bucket List off our bucket list." - Easy A.

Okay, so now a little bit about myself. I'm sure y'all are DYING to know. Well I'm not going to reveal everything on the first go around. You will slowly find out more about me as I post on here. I cant tell you how frequent that will be because I suck at keeping up with things. So if this turns out to be my only post, you will leave knowing these five things about me.
1. I've been living and breathing for two decades already
2. I have a strong dislike for buttons
3. I've been working at a Christian summer camp for 4 years now
4. I go to the best school in the wonderful state of Texas, coughcough go frogs coughcough
5. My socks never match
Interesting stuff huh?

Well the Terminex guy just showed up at our house and I have to direct him to our ant infested kitchen. Oh the joys of life. So until next time. Stay classy San Diego.
