hello interwebs :)

I have decided to start a blog. Obviously.  My previous blog ended several years ago and focused mainly on answering tough questions high school students had.  I have decided a new blog is in order for several reasons.  First of all, I need to be in the discipline of writing for non-academic purposes.  Also, I have plenty of thoughts that pass through my mind, and I might as well record them somewhere.  I figure if they are on the internet I am less likely to lose them.  Thirdly, I figure I can use this blog to record my journey to Africa a year from now, which will inevitably give me a lot to say, and I would like a good way to communicate my journey to friends and family.  It seems as if this is the way people do it these days. 

Apart from these reasons, I intend to use this blog to post creative ideas/projects on which I will hopefully embark.  We shall see what motivation/time availability presents itself in the upcoming months.  

Even if no one ever reads this, it will serve a purpose.  Mostly, it is for me.  However, if you enjoy reading, please do.  Leave comments, critiques, etc.  

I realize that blogs exist for people to throw their thoughts into the void.  I realize that nothing I say is credible considering I am a college student who still has a lot to learn about the world.  This blog is for thoughts.  This blog is a journey.  Feel free to come along!
