Hello world!

so i’ve always wondered what the big deal is about blogging. is it because you want everyone to read about your life? or so you can keep your friends updated on what’s going on? or maybe you’re doing it for yourself. maybe it’s to be used as a journal for thoughts and prayers. or maybe it can be the diary you never kept as a kid (yep i was one of those kids who begged for a notebook to write in, wrote in it for about a week, then threw it under my bed to get lost). i guess my blog will be all of these things and more.

the main reason i decided to make a blog was because of a suggestion from my dad. “you wanna be an editor right?” of course i do. english has always been my favorite subject and i’ve been a bookworm since i started reading. i became editor of the school newspaper (the blue blazer) this year and even though it sounds nerdy, i’ll admit it. i LOVE editing. for some crazy reason, i love to read articles, stories, books, yearbooks… anything and look for errors to fix. editing has somehow become my passion and in two years when i graduate and go to (hopefully) capital university, i’d like to major in english (with a focus on literature) and minor in journalism.

so, to sum up my first blog, i’m writing for experience. you can’t walk into a newspaper or publishing company and expect them to hand you an editor’s job. you actually have to write some articles or stories first and i’m hoping to add a successful blog to the list of things i’ve written. i’m not doing it just so other people will read and comment on it (although that would be nice). i’m writing down my completely random thoughts so that one day my dream of being an editor can become a reality.

this would be me. at my aunts wedding.
