hello again.

Summer is a beautiful thing. For me, it's a time when I feel the most alive. Because I have freedom & choice & opportunities for extra fun & most importantly, no school.

This past summer, I was more aware than ever that there could be an end to summer as I know it. I'm a junior in college, I don't know if the job I'll do after graduation will end up casually giving me a couple months off to enjoy the bright sunshine, no questions asked. It's the real world. Ew.

So, I lived it up. I spent my days around the country, nay the world. (Who knows if that's a correct statement, but I really wanted to use the word nay...) I lived adventures. And I didn't blog. Whoops. Not sorry.

I'm a fan of doing things differently every once and awhile, just to change up how I see things and how I live my life. In summer, I don't need to stick to a schedule and continuously have a planner as my third limb. And this summer, I didn't feel the need to document every fun thing I did.

Oh, the fun happened. Don't worry. You may have heard about it, you may have not. But, either way, I'm freeing myself of the guilt and obligation to try to blog about every single bit of awesome that was my summer. New year, new blog posts...new me???

A little secret though: I'm pretty sure the real reason I blog is not because I want my family to know what's going on or because I love writing. Both true. It's because I just looooooove to procrastinate.

So, who knows? Maybe one long Thursday down the road, I'll be sitting at my desk, asking myself, "To read or not to read?"

And I'll pick blogging.
