I can remember my first year of college and my roommate who would spend hours every day blogging. Kelly was the complete opposite of me, this tall red head who took amazing photographs and created the most unique and entertaining movies. And here I was, on the other side of the room a short blonde who was pretending to be a Neuroscience student. (Brain surgery? Me? Come on guys, I was fooling myself deeply) What it all comes down to, Kelly was everything I wanted to be and it all started because I had a glimpse into her world with her blog.

Before her I had never heard of a blog let alone know what to do with it. I had no clue as to why she had so much to say and if anyone would read it but soon enough I was addicted to her exaggerated tells of life and rabbit breading. Yes, rabbit breading, apparently it is quite a lucrative business. Her stories took on a life of their own and she was always able to pair the most brilliant photographs with them. It was like reading an adventure picture book except instead of fiction I knew the main character and even took place in some of the chapters.

After our Freshman year living together we both moved and went our separate ways, she continued down the path of creative while I spent my weekend nights trying to learn “nerdy-science.” It wasn’t long before I failed, that’s right, fell right on my face and finally gave up the pride of wanting to be someone I could never be. It took me two years of classes studying biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology to realize I was the only person doodling over my notes.

I packed up my bags and headed up north able to start over, a clean slate. It took some time off from school and my admiration of my roommate to stretch my idea of what life could offer. I immediately took up photography and was excited to see that I was actually good! Talent and success to me was always something you had to over-work for but I was able to pick up a camera and take a picture that not only captured the scene but its personality as well. After that I started college again studying Public Relations then transitioning to Advertisement steering clear of Neuroscience. I was once again amazed at how easy this field of study came to me. I still spend the same amount of time working on assignments and studying for the large tests but I enjoyed it and couldn’t get enough of this material.

I hope to graduate in a year and a half with a B.S. in Advertisement and a minor in Photography. After that it would be my dream to work in an advertisement agency, starting from the ground but proving myself to the top. Will I get there? Who knows, life has a way of throwing you for a loop.

I welcome you to join me on my journey of discovering life. I am no longer interested in taking the traditional route, this blog won’t be your typical journal. Whether you receive my thoughts on class assignments, the quest for the perfect internships, a photoblog of a photoshoot, or everyday revelations this blog is all mine and I can’t wait for you to be apart of it.
