So, I had a blog once my freshman year of college, but I still have NO idea how to start this off.
It feels strange because I'm assuming only my friends and family are ever going to look at this. But I think I'm supposed to talk about who I am and why I'm writing this.
My name is Mariel. I just turned 20 yesterday. I'm studying writing in Michigan's upper peninsula, and I should have my bachelor's degree by May of 2016 (hopefully...).
I really love writing. Why else would I be dedicating four years of my life to studying a discipline with almost NO job prospect without grad school? But I feel like I don't have a way to share most of what I write. So it just gets tossed out. I think I'd be more motivated if I knew people would look at it.
I over-analyze anything and everything. I am strong in my opinions, and try to keep them to myself unless I'm asked for them, but that doesn't always work. I'm overly emotional, and neither ashamed nor afraid to tell the world how I'm actually feeling.
Social media these days is all about putting out the best version of ourselves. From having the best job to being well-traveled, we need to be... awesome? Yeah, I think so.
I want people to know what actually goes on in my mind. Nothing better or worse than what what is there. I want the words on this space to be honest.
And if we're being REALLY honest... I've been a vegetarian for five years. And I really want a hot dog right now. This happens more than I'll usually admit.
