Well, well, well.....

So apparently my determined attempt to start a blog going dwindled and failed. As a 17 year old girl in College, let's just say that I wasn't the most organised with my time. After having a butcher through some Pintrest pages, and a few blog posts, I suddenly remembered that I myself had a blog hidden somewhere, in the depth of the internet. After much deliberation, I found it best that I delete my incredibly boring first posts, and write a new 'first post'. Hopefully I don't end with number 4 this time. I've followed a few blogs over the years, and various Youtubers, and always thought to myself 'Maybe I could write a blog, y'know, even though I could never write in a paperback diary for more than 3 consecutive days.' Clearly that was still an issue for me in 2011, as a 17 year old trying desperately to find interesting things to blog about. 

However, as a somewhat travelled 20 (almost 21) year old, I have decided that reading back on blog posts from this period of my life would be fascinating in years to come. I've had a pretty amazing year and a half, and I guess a bit of back logging is in order. I've been on some awesome trips since summer of 2014, and for the sake of documenting, I'm totally cool with sharing these on here, as opposed to searching through the dreaded Facebook Timeline photos. I feel like the majority of us 'slaves' to social media tend to share snippets of amazing, memorable events, and then let them get buried by meaningless shared cat videos, rarely giving them a second thought. I'm a total social media fiend, however I noticed this downside of sharing our lives through the means of social media. Especially since we rarely have a physical copy of photos, or a scrap book, that we get out and share with friends and family over a bottle of wine, and reminisce. Like I said, I love sharing photos on social media, especially since I don't live near the majority of my family, so it's nice to bridge the gap, and feel part of their lives still. I guess what I mean to say, is that I want to make a concious effort to not be a mindlessly sharing sheep (or Millenial as the judgy ones call us).



So, here's to my second, first ever blog post!!!
