New at Life

Greetings nonexistent readers!

       Today marks the grand opening of my "New at Life" blog. I guess I never really thought of myself as a blogger, but here we are. It's kind of a sad thought, that I am sitting in the lobby of my dorm room at 2:30 in the morning before an 8:00 test and found it necessary to create a blog. Someday, I will be officially diagnosed with ADD and my misguided, unfocused world will make sense, but until then I will remain a college student with an unhealthy addiction to procrastination.

        My blog is titled "New at Life" because I like to think that I have my whole life in front of me, that I know absolutely nothing about the way things are. [P.S. Miscellaneous movie moments will be inserted throughout the blog. They will always be italicized. I will be extremely impressed if you can recognize them, I tend to remember random fragments and voices from movies that people never seem to remember. This one happens to be from Babe.] Sorry, it's the undiagnosed ADD.

        But about "New at Life." I am extremely excited to start college fresh as a new person. I have escaped many of my high school peers and am learning to be myself around everyone, rather than just my closest friends. So far, everybody seems to like me that way, and I like me that way, as silly as that sounds. So today, November 23, 2010, [my sister's 13th birthday] is the beginning of a new awareness. A new awareness of self, of life, and, hopefully, of the dangers of procrastination on your sleeping schedule and your test scores.

        Off to bed with me, imaginary readers. Here's to months of posting on a blog that nobody will read, four hours of sleep before a journalism test, and a new start.
