Who I Am

Dear reader,
   I feel like I should ask your forgiveness. I set out to give you a glimpse into what the life of a college student is like; I have failed miserably. Especially since I haven' t posted in a year.... That's definitely part of the problem.
   I realized this blog has not been very organized, and I aim to change that. I want to help you know what college is like; I want to give you advice so you can learn from my mistakes; but I also want to show you who I am.
    I am not just a college student. I don't sit in my dorm room doing homework 24/7 with no social interactions whatsoever. I am also a child of God; a friend; a daughter; a fan girl; a reader; a broadway geek; a movie buff. In between school, I take time to do things I enjoy and spend time with people I care about.
    So here is the new direction of the blog: with this blog, I will give you college tips I learn throughout my almost two years of college life; however, as a reflection of my life as a college student, I will interject with posts about  other fun, more hobby oriented things.
     So, with that preamble, here's who I am (besides a college student), and what you will be seeing more of on this blog:

• A Child of God
  This is who I am first and foremost. I have been adopted into God's family through His Son's blood. He pursued when I was in sin, and invited me to have a relationship with Him. I want to serve God and live a pleasing life for Him because of I love Him. He is my daddy, and I am His daughter.
• A Fan Girl
  Yes.... I am a fan girl and proud of it! I put a lot of thought into things I love; sometimes too much thought. I ship couples and create head canons. I am a Whovian, a Oncer and I am Sherlocked. I am also proud to say I am a Goldstone Wood Imp; don't worry, there will be a post to explain this term, since many will probably not know who this fandom is. 
• A Reader
  I absolutely LOVE to read! I mostly stay within the fantasy/adventure/young adult fiction genre right now. I enjoyed the Hunger Games. I am only now starting to read the Harry Potter series. However, I do enjoy the classics, such as Jane Austen. I also love fairytale retellings! Robin McKinley's Beauty was good and I am interested to read her Rose Daughter (if you can't tell, my favorite fairytale is Beauty and the Beast). My absolute all-time favorite EVER author is Anne Elisabeth Stengl, who writes the Tales of Goldstone Wood series. If you don't know who she is, look her up! It will be well worth your time!
• A Broadway Geek
  I dream of seeing a musical on Broadway. My favorites are Wicked, The Phantom of the Opera, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Beauty and the Beast and Les Miserables (just to name a few ;)). The 25th Anniversary edition of Les Mis gave me chills, as did Phantom of the Opera. I have a whole playlist dedicated to Broadway Music.
• A Movie Buff
  I love a wide variety of movie genres. Mostly action/adventure/fantasy. Though I do like some true story movies. I'm not a huge fan of sports movies; I think the only sports movie I actually find myself desiring to watch again is the Blind Side... perhaps because there's not a whole lot of sports in it? 

    That's me in a nutshell.  Do you have any of the same interests? How about different ones? Any questions you have about college you want me to (attempt) to answer? Comment comment comment!
    Look for more posts about college life/extracurricular activities to come!
