Disclaimer: I have absolutely no idea how to blog, so bear with me! I assume no one will probably ever read it either. But hey I thought it might be fun to write because I love writing and I can imagine that millions of people might actually find me interesting. Maybe I'll even make myself laugh at my own jokes:)
You may wonder why I have chosen Where the Wild Things Are as the theme of my writing. Along with the fact that it has always been my favorite childhood book, it also represents my current experiences as a new college student. I regret not beginning my blog with the school year since now I am a second semester freshman, but honestly the thought to blog never occurred to me until this cold night in January at 1 in the morning...definitely a college girl! Anyway, you will adapt to my digressions I hope, but the reason I chose Where the Wild Things Are is because fresh college life feels very close to what Max must have felt when he found himself surrounded by unknown wild creatures. Max was undoubtedly excited; he loved being where the wild things are, but he also felt lost and I think even a little afraid. Trooping ahead, he made friends and enjoyed his experiences as he navigated his blessing to try something new. And at the end he was sad his journey had completed. I think that is exactly how my college years will go. It is Christmas break for another two weeks, but I go back next semester with a whole semester of experience behind me, and yet I still feel doe-eyed! I don't know how often I'll post but we'll see how it works out, my main goal is just to have fun documenting the stresses, thrills, and joys, and pains of this new chapter. So here's to new experiences, clumsy adulty-ness, and wild college students!
