Intro

Dear friend,

Welcome to my very first blog post! If we haven’t met, I’m Allie. I’m a college student with lots of questions (and some answers) about life. I wanted to start this blog because one, I’ve always wanted to try it (it just seems like fun), and two, I’ve always loved to journal what I’m thinking while I drink a cup of coffee, and this way I can do that while also relating to people who probably feel the same way. I also welcome any and all advice.

I love my life, and I’ve worked really hard to get where I am today, but I feel so restless. There’s a part of me that wants to speed up my life and fast forward to the part where I’m married to someone I love, have a steady job, live in a cute little house, and have a steady routine that I can count on. But then there’s part of me that loves the stage that I’m in and wants to enjoy every little thing, living spontaneously and free. There’s a part of me that wants to spend my entire college education taking opportunities to better my chances of getting into grad school (and getting scholarships for grad school), but another part that wants to throw away all responsibility, live in the moment, and just BE a college student who doesn’t think about the future, eats whatever I want whenever I want it, and spends all of my money the second it hits my bank account.

I’m so restless, but I think it might be restless in a good way. If you feel that way too, keep reading this blog, and we’ll figure things out together. I love how I live, and I want to keep loving it, but I think I need to learn how to balance myself better. How to balance my thoughts, my feelings, and my ambitions. 

So in the next couple of months, I’m going to be writing about all of these things. All of the things that I think about from day to day, the things that my brain and my heart are most conflicted about, and what I think it means. I also want to share my own unique perspective on each topic because I think that each person has their own experiences and perspectives for a reason, so that they can share with others what those experiences have taught them. And if you feel so led, I’d love for you to share your perspectives with me. I want this blog to be a safe place for us to talk about the experiences that have shaped us, and how they’ve changed our perspectives in specific ways. I really hope that you’ll join me in this fun, fulfilling journey, so grab a cup of joe and let’s talk.  

Love, Allie ❤
