The Beginning

FINALLY! After talking about making a blog for months, I decided to sit down and do it! Since all of my friends are so creative and have the most amazing and inspiring websites, I have a little anxiety over beginning to document my life. I'd like to think I'm spontaneous and carefree and hope to reflect it in my writing!

On May 24th, I will be boarding a plane to Dublin, Ireland for 8 weeks! This blog is to document the weeks leading up to my trip, my time spent in Europe, and the period after I return, in which I'll be moving to Washington, DC.

I cannot begin this blog without saying that I am concentrated on enjoying my last couple of weeks in Auburn as a college student. Over the last 4 years, I have fallen in love with the town, college, and the people of Auburn. The love for a small southern town is only understood by those who have lived it. My heart will always be here, and I plan to visit often during football season.

In addition to enjoying my time left at Auburn, I am also counting the days until I move to DC. The city is the perfect fast-paced lifestyle that I have craved since moving to Auburn. Being from Atlanta, it was hard to get used to the slow southern feel Alabama had to offer. After enjoying every moment here, I can safely say I am ready for the sounds of cars, the traffic (yes, I just said that), and the people DC has to offer. Of course I cannot go without mentioning one of the perks of moving to the city..the boyfriend. I can't wait to be in the same city as him & it will finally be great to live a "normal" life.

During the next couple of weeks I'll be traveling to DC, Charleston, and Florida all before I leave the country. I plan on writing as much as possible as a reminder of my love of preparing for trips and to document my last few weeks as a college student.

I hope you enjoy the places I travel, my interpretation of different cultures, and my view of the world.
