Well, Here I Am.

So, here we are, in a countdown about a month and a half away from the beginning of college, and I'm already in a frenzy about my plans for the future, blah blah blah. However, those plans aren't going to be the subject of this first post. First, I'm going to explain exactly what this blog is going to be about. Second, I'm going to introduce myself a little bit, and let you know where I'm coming from. The first ACTUAL post will be separate.

Let's get the boring stuff out of the way; introductions and explanations.

I'm wanted to start something that had a little bit of everything in it for the average undergrad girl. I want you to know that yes, we're all going through the same issues, the same inner battles, the same triumphs as you are, so really, there's no need to feel alone. We're all broke, so I hope to see a few interesting posts about inexpensive places to shop near college campuses and online that'll cater to the hipster-chic looks that everyone is dying for. I also want to see some beauty tips and product recommendations to make us all feel just a little bit more glamorous in our day to day lives (no matter if its an exfoliant made of brown sugar, orange zest and milk, which is one of my personal favorite quick-fix tricks, or a little pricier option like this Moroccan Oil product that I con my hair stylist into using on me every time I go in, just so that I can have perfect, shiny wavy weightless hair for a day; it can go for $35.00 on Amazon and I still haven't gotten up the courage to make the purchase).

Then, this is my favorite part; I also want to do a few posts on relationships. We're all stepping into this really really deep pool of possibilities, and I really would prefer it if none of you stepped in with cement blocks tied to your feet, and blindfolds over your eyes.

Also, I want to make sure everyone is going to pass college (please, for the love of all that is holy, don't waste your parents money; this economy does not allow for refunds, no matter how unfair the grading process is), so we're going to be posting tips and tricks as we get into the swing of things on how to stay afloat (you want that 4.o, don't you?), without missing out on all the fun social parts of college that everyone is really concentrating on.

Alright, so now that you know a little bit about what we want to do, I want to make introductions. I'm just a girl, going to Indiana University next fall, ready to step out into the world. I love fashion and people, and my dream (after the 11 years of training it takes) is to become a clinical psychologist. I love helping people (which partly explains this blog), and I want to really make a difference to someone; sort of as a pay-it-forward to all the wonderful people in my life who have guided and shaped me in some way. 

Anyways, beyond all that mushy stuff, I'm a slob, but my life and all of its components are all neatly and beautifully organized into separate hemispheres. I love being in love, and I have an addiction to thrift stores and bargains that I'm in no hurry to cure. Sandpaper also gives me the creeps. Other than that...I'm just a normal girl. I like art, I love my bike, I adore painting, and my friends take up way too many parts of my brain and heart for it to be okay. But thats me, in a condensed nutshell. 

Now, the next thing that's going to be posted issss...

DORM STUFF!
