I Finally Created a Blog. Say it isn't So!

After years of thinking about it here and there. Months of thinking about it constantly. I finally decided to face my fear and put myself out there....anonymously.

This is a start, right? So im sure you read my "about me" page and if you did thanks for sticking around to read my first post.

To start things off, I want to talk a little more about myself so you can get an insight of who I am. (To be fair life has its ups and down and all of that will be shared thoughout my posts.)

So around the early 1800s, my mom, no im kidding. Born in 1997, Chicago, Illinois, I had a decent upbringing. What do I remember most? The simple life I had. Toys, coming home from school to watch Arthur and Disney Channel, teaching my dolls math, making Play-Doh treats and selling them for real money. It was pretty great!

I was always a night owl ( still am). I would sleep during the day and stay up all night watching nick at nite, playing club penguin and later, meez. I made alot of friends on those games, I wish I knew where they were today.

Then I became a teenager. I know you're waiting to here about my crushes and boyfriends. NOPE! Didn't happen. I was one of those girls who wasn;t interested in that kind of stuff until college, unfortunately. Highschool was uneventful for me. Other than winning princess at prom, which wasn't that big of a deal, high school was just highschool.

College was big decision for me. I always wanted to go until my senior year in highschool. Why go to college and be in debt? What degree would I get? Those questions are questions I still ask myself 4 1/2 years later with a degree in hand. Long story short, I went to college and got a degree in..... Sociology (minor in Gerontolgy). Yes, I know. I'm shaking my head as well.

I started with a degree in Psychology but I didn't enjoy it. I enjoyed sociology and I was told numeous times that I would find a job anywhere because "the major is so broad." I graduated in December, and lets just say, I'm unemployed. BUT I have some interviews coming up that are currently on hold because of the

Yes, the coronavirus. We are currently on lockdown and being told to quarantine. I had no idea that this virus was going to become as serious as it did. To be honest, I still don't know much about it. I remember reading about it early on and something about bat soup and I didnt really understand but it should be taken serious, so make sure you are doing your part by keeping youself and your family and friends safe by social distancing and washing your hands.

Lets talk about The "S" Word

During this "lockdown," I have decided to work on myself as a person. I often ask myself "Do I have any interest? Hobbies? What do I like?" I never have an answer. I don;t know what I like, I don;t know ME. So I'm using this time to find myself, find what I like, pursue it, and grow as a person. With that being said, I don't think I will find a career I am happy with until I find what makes me happy.

Some things I have been working on that I will be dicussing in my blog is taking online classes. Harvard and many other school are giving free online classes, you all should apply and sharpen your skills. Lets do it together! I recently bought a painting set, I am looking into photographing and scrapbooking. I would love to learn how to knit and chrochet. During this lockdown, it gave me a lot of time to think and reflect on the person I am and the person I want to be. So for right now, I am working on making who I am better so that I can become who I want to be. I hope you all join me for the ride!

So that was little about me! I am so happy I finally did this. Tell me about you, leave a comment. Advice and constructive criticism is always welcomed!

So where ever you are, good morning, good evening, good afternoon, and have a good night. I'll be back to talk "S" word with you guys later!
