New to this! :)

Okay, I know what you’re thinking. “She just started a blog because everyone else was.” Well, that’s only partially true! There are several reasons why I wanted to create my own blog. So, I figured my first post should be explaining to everyone (yeah, all 5 of my readers!) why I wanted to make this.

1. I LOVE being nosy, and assume that most of my friends do as well. So, why not save them some trouble and give them an easy access look into my daily life.
2. I learned some really cool blogging tricks in my Computers and Technology for Teaching class, and I wanted to give them a try.
3. I am on Christmas break and am very bored. I figure why not? There’s no better way that I could spend my time. (okay, I could probably find something a little better.)
4. I was obsessed with my LiveJournal when those were popular, and Blogging is pretty close!
5. I like to be creative and found some really cute layouts and templates when I made my blog for class, but I didn’t want to spend the time on something that I wouldn’t really use.
6.  My New Years resolution is to take at least one picture of something every single day. I get so mad at myself when I think “Man, I wish I would have taken more pictures.” I figure this blog will be some motivation to post the picture/pictures that I take. I plan on posting at least twice a week and will update my pictures then! (We will see how long this goes on for.)
7. I always wanted to have a diary or journal but for some reason I could never stick to it. I would write in it for a few days, and then totally loose motivation. This won’t be as open as a diary, but it will be funny for me to be able to look back and laugh at the things I posted.

So, there you have it. I will be posting about college life, my relationship with Codey, my friendships, my family, among rants and raves and anything else I want to “vent” or talk about. I hope that you have a wonderful day, thanks for reading!!
