Hey,
I'm starting a blog, and I've never really done this before so be patient with me.
Right now I'd say I'm supposed to be revising for my second year undergrad exams, but here I am writing about myself instead. Perhaps humans are just inherently selfish.
So you know I'm a second year undergrad student. But so are millions of other people on this planet.
If asked to describe myself, I'd say the following:
I'm Emily, aged twenty, from England. I am a reader, a dreamer, a Jason Mraz fan, a lover of American History and History in general, an idealist, a musician, a practiser of gratitude, a cynic who is often dissatisfied with the world, a festival-goer, searching for something but not sure what, a beginner, a believer in joy, peace, freedom and the power of love, and a human just enjoying the journey.
Deep stuff huh. It all depends, of course, who asks me to describe myself. I perhaps wouldn't tell someone those things in a job interview. But I guess to me they're the most important aspects of who I am. So that's where I begin here.
So why am I starting an online blog? Who's actually going to read this? Will I only make this one post and give up?
I've written journals and diaries before, privately, and never kept them up, so it's entirely plausible that I won't make many posts on here. On the other hand, my New Years resolution for 2015 is to be more creative, and I think this counts.
I'm a History student, I didn't say that but you might have guessed. I study at Newcastle University and I love it here. I've made some fantastic friends here and I really enjoy my course. Parts of my blog will document my own journey with studying History, and my steps (currently volunteering work) towards my desired career in museums, promoting the rich heritage and fascinating past of the human race. So if you're not interested in History, you probably won't like my blog!
This is me, and my boyfriend Joseph. He means everything to me. I'm not one for being soppy in public but he's a huge part of my life and this blog is about me so, hey, here's the thing that makes me happiest in all the world! :)
I'm signing off now because revision calls and I need a snack to get me through this...
Peace,
Em
