Background

So I’ve decided to create this blog because I’ve had a LiveJournal for way too many years and I never update that, and I just need to start blogging stuff.

Hanna, you can probably disregard this entry since you know everything I’m about to write. So here it goes:

Right now, I’m 20 years old (I’ll be 21 in five months) and I am in my junior year at Western Kentucky University. Public relations is my major and writing is my minor. I should graduate in May 2010, but that is yet to be determined, really. But I’m pretty sure it will be done.

I have a boyfriend, who can be quite fickle — like right now — and yet, I still love him. But he graduates in May and that may, and probably will be the end of us. I’m getting myself ready for that, so I don’t think it will be as emotionally hard on me as it should be. I just know what’s up, and I’m prepared for it.

My family consists of my parents, who will be celebrating their 25th anniversary in October, and my little sister who is in her senior year of high school. We also have the cutest old dog named Dot…she’s 13 years old and the vet has called her geriatric, which makes me really sad. I love dogs. In fact, I love dogs so much that I sometimes prefer them to people. Dogs can’t talk back to you, they can’t be critical of you, and they provide unconditional love. Seriously, when I feel down, I go searching for pictures of puppies because they make me smile.

My roommate Hanna is a bit ADD, which can be hard to follow, but I have learned. We love the same colors (blues and lime green…with dashes of pink and purple) so our dorm room is coordinated quite well. We also both love Johnny Depp, so our dorm is covered in posters of him. It’s amazing; we’re so alike and everything works out so well that we have few problems. The only real problems are when we’re trying to sleep; I prefer complete darkness and silence — aside from “white noise” from a fan — and Hanna could sleep with the TV on and lights on. I’m just very sensitive when trying to sleep. Otherwise, we both like football and watching NFL games on Sunday, which is what we are currently doing.

A little more about me: I’m currently working in the Journalism department at WKU as a student worker for the news/editorial coordinator. I’m also interning with Athletic Media Relations where I’m doing a lot of design work and helping out wherever I can, really. I like it. I’m taking 13 hours not including the three intern credit hours I get. And I’m pretty busy all the time. I like being busy because that means I don’t have time to think about anything else.

Anyway…I think that’s enough rambling about myself. I think the groundwork has been put down. I will update with random entries later.
