Finding my Way

I have decided to reformat my blog. The whole fashion thing just wasn't something I was comfortable with writing about and sharing every little thing about. But I do want to keep a blog. I don't know what I'll write about. But I have a lot on my mind, all the time. I'm sure I'll think of something.

As some of you know, I have recently started college. I am a freshman at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. In Lahman's (<--sp?) terms, that would be Virginia Tech. It's a school that I can honestly say I have always loved. I am a third generation legacy here, my great aunt Murt was a cheerleader here. My mom, my aunt, and my uncle graduated from here. And my grandparents live in the great city of Blacksburg and so I have been coming here all my life. I guess you can say it was meant to be.

But even though its a school that I've always known and loved, it's been a totally new and different experience. Even though I have been coming here to visit all my life, I did come from over a thousand miles away from Texas. I am a long way from the place that I call home. And I have always been very close with my family, who are also a thousand miles away. I don't get to see them every weekend. I don't get to see them even on three-day weekends. In some ways, its a good thing that they don't live so close, because I'm more inclined to go submerge myself in college life instead of going home and replaying high school. But I still miss them.

Life has its challenges. Change is a challenge. And adjusting to college life is a challenge. I am slowly getting used to it.

So I guess this is what I'll write about. Life. My Life.

This is my story.
