I've never been good at keeping a journal, much less a blog, for more than a few days. Life always catches up with me and throws me for a loop within the real world outside of the rules where pen and paper (or keyboard, in this case) are the only ones that matter. So, to get right to the point, I'll tell you a little about myself.
I moved around a bit as a child, and right after high school graduation, I moved to Spokane Washington to live with my aunt while I attend college. My parents moved out of the country and since I didn't have a job or much money, I had no choice but to live with family while I chase after my dream of a college education. I just finished my first year of college and the experience has been nothing like what I expected. The last year of my life, for that matter, has been entirely unlike anything I imagined it would be.
I'm writing this for future college students. I was completely naive about life after college, and I had no one to answer my silly questions. Consider this a College 101 blog, where you can learn about the average, and sometimes not so average, happenings of a college student. I hope it helps, and I hope my experiences can provide some knowledge to those readers who are in the same place I was in as a high school senior.
College is about more than just partying and burying your hopes and dreams inside books written by overpaid professors you've never heard of (and never will again). You need to get a job that pays well enough to feed you. You need some sort of extracurricular activity that will ensure your sanity for the next four years. And you definitely need a network of friends and colleagues that you can depend on. Between working and proving to the world (and yourself) that you are a capable and creative person, you will find your world turned upside down as you work it, strut it, or simply yell from a mountaintop proudly, finding your independence and unique future along the way.
