The Story of Starting a Blog

As spring break comes to a close, I've realized that there are many things that need to be taken care of. Things such as homework, summer job paperwork, and scholarship applications. There are also things like visiting family and friends, catching up with my hometown, and maintaining relationships with people from school. Granted, my hometown is only an hour and fifteen minutes away from where I attend school but I still feel as if I never see these people anymore.

 Anyway, as I was visiting my best friend this week, she looked at me and said "Gosh, I don't know what I'm going to do this summer?"

I gave her a quizzical look and said, "What do you mean?

"Well, you know, you'll be gone all summer and I don't know who I'll go on adventures with anymore. I probably won't see you until next fall." She replied.

I hadn't thought about that. This will be the longest period of time that I have ever spent away from home. I will not get to see my friends and family until August unless they come to visit me while I'm performing. And then the thought hit me. I'll start a blog! Sure Facebook will be easier, but I know plenty of people who want to keep up with me (mostly family) who do not have Facebook.

Now, I'm not really a blog person. The closest I've gotten to blogging is my Tumblr but I don't actually write anything on there. I mostly scroll through pictures and reblog things that spark my interest. I use it as a way to save things as a reference for later creative uses. I also thought it might be interesting to use it as almost a kind of a journal to track my progress in my studies and my work.

Things you can expect:
-Photos. Lots and lots of photos.
-"Journal Entries"
-Clever things that should be jotted down before they are lost.
-Randomness
-Other things that I don't even know about myself.

I know this won't appeal to everyone but for those of you who are actually interested in keeping up with me while I'm away, enjoy.
