Hello!

Long time, no posting.

As I’ve wanted to do many times before, I am inspired to start blogging again. I have attempted blogging numerous times since I started college in 2012. I’ve started blogging numerous times over the last few years, but usually they never last any longer than two to three posts. This trend of short-lived blogs was usually due to a lack of time to commit to blogging. Up until two weeks ago, I was a heavily involved student and in the spare time I had, blogging was usually not a priority. I’m hoping this time is different. I am now a graduate, and with that comes to a lot more free time; so I feel like I’ll actually stick to it this time.

Why I want to blog

I’ve wanted to start blogging for a number of reasons. First, is because I think it is a great way for me to share my thoughts on different topics.

Secondly, because I feel like it is a way to help keep my brain in a somewhat school-like mode. I plan to return to school in a few years to earn my Ph.D. and I think this might help the transition back in.

Finally, because I enjoy writing and I think this might be a good way to help me continue to improve my writing skills.

What I want this blog to be

I am hoping this blog can be a place where I can share my perspective on a variety of topics. I feel like I’ve always had a unique way of looking at things, and I want this blog to be a place where I can share those perspectives.

I thought about trying to find a central theme to revolve this blog around, but my interests and ideas are too broad to wrap around a single theme. The theme for this blog will simply be my experiences and perspectives.

I wish I could say I’m going to publish a new blog post on a consistent basis, but I can’t. I do plan on posting on a regular basis, but if I have nothing to say, I see no point in trying to write a post just for the sake of posting.

So now let’s see where this goes.
