Fall

Fall is my favorite time of year. Perhaps it's because we're heading into the season of holidays and time with family, or maybe it is because the season has always been a time of new beginnings. New professors, new roommates or apartments, new classes - it feels like an opportunity for a fresh start. Not to mention the weather being an excuse to start drinking hot chocolate again!

As I walked into class today, wearing a sweatshirt and jeans for the first time this season, I was happily reminded of autumns past. It's always been my favorite season. The weather is perfect, the leaves are beautiful, and people seem to be in good moods. Perhaps they feel the opportunity for new beginnings as well. There's something refreshing and releasing about knowing you have the chance to get A's in all your classes, or start the cleaning schedule you always wanted to do, but never had time to, or even to commit to spending more time with family.

This excitement, along with the beautiful surroundings we are blessed with in autumn, is what makes it the best season.

A blog?

Though I was always interested, I never thought to create a blog simply because I didn't think people would want to hear about the world "according to me". I recently started taking a Journalism class and my mind has changed. For the class we are required to have a blog to upload articles we write during our "newsroom" sessions. It got me thinking that I might have something to say...

My goal for this blog is to share with you my everyday truths: an inspiring story, something funny, or even some wisdom that inspires me to reflect or causes personal growth. This year is going to be a year of change as I move on from college life and head into the real world. Perhaps we can journey together?
