The Commencement

I'll admit this blog has been a long time coming and it was only thanks to a requirement for a class that I am finally beginning to "blog". Initially, in browsing blogs attempting to pinpoint just what I wanted to use my blog to rant about I totally began stressing out about all the unbelievably cute blogs that far surpass anything that I could ever conjure! Generally speaking, the people I have known to start blogs have done so after getting married. They establish a blog as a cute, funny and personable way to stay in touch with family or simply tell their story. I, however, find it hard to do so! I would say that by nature I am more of a private person and call it old fashioned or even anxiety, but I don't want to broadcast our lives to everyone and their dog! In short I a  am a very normal "super senior" simply attempting to finally finish my undergraduate from BYU, taking 11 credits in a spring term in addition to an internship, and try to be a pleasant enough person for my (amazing) husband to come home to. I'm not particularly craftsy although I enjoy the occasional project of refurbishing a dresser or attempting to crackle a frame using Elmer's glue to save some money. Nor am I particularly funny (especially when in writing), which I discovered, is often what makes a good blog; wit and a good sense of humor. I mean, don't get me wrong I think I'm hilarious;) but so often I feel that it is the expectation that you have to pump your postings full of wit and style just to get a couple of followers.  That's a lot of pressure people! So after thinking about what I could devote this blog to, recognizing my powerful right to freedom of speech, I  decided to make this blog about something that this world needs a little more of; positivity and service.
