I am a freshman at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. I am planning on majoring in Business (possibly Finance). I am a Christian and love God more than anything. I also love my family, friends, and running. I run Cross Country and Track and Field for SMU. Here is a picture of my amazing team that I LOVE!
That is just a little bit of random information about me, I'm sure through this blog you will find out much more. For some of you who know me well, Im sure you will think it is extremely random for me to have a blog, which it is, but I am going to explain what my purpose is for this blog and why I decided to do it.
First there are some girls on my team that blog and I always love reading their blogs, so I hope I this blog brings people entertainment also. I am also sick of facebook, so of course I needed something else to distract my study time with :). I also have realized since being in college I keep my thoughts bottled up inside of me, but when I do get the chance to get them out I feel so much better. I feel like a weight is lifted off of me. I had a rough senior year where I lost a lot of close friendships and since I felt I had no one to talk about things with, I started to deal with things inwardly which can be dangerous. I feel like I have not recovered from that, I feel like I don't want to open up to people in fear of what happened my senior year. (I know thats a little deep for a first post, but it just explains a major purpose in this blog) So I hope this blog could be somewhat therapeutic for me in some sort of way and help me open up to people.
I also have another aim to this blog, this week in our small group we talked about staying connected with God. In high school reading the bible was more like a chore, it was something I had to do for school instead of something I enjoyed doing. I realized it is hard to stay in the word and in quiet time in college so every couple days I am going to share with yall what i learned from my time spent with God over the last couple days. I hope this will hold me accountable and it will also find me searching for things in the Bible or other religious messages that I feel worth telling yall about. Also I hope something I say could even help a reader find things out about God along with me!
Lastly, this is going to be my favorite part about my blog. I just watched Julie and Julia so that inspired this. I LOVE to cook! I love to try new recipes. I actually have a itouch app called "Betty Crocker Cookbook" and in my free time I look for new recipes to cook. I unfortunatly dont have a kitchen in my dorm room, so this part of the blog cant start until I go home for Thanksgiving and Christmas :(. But I am going to make dishes and take pictures of them and put the recipes on the blog if I think you should try them too!
So there is a little bit about me and what my purpose is for this blog. Tomorrow after practice I will start the blog about whats going on in my day-to-day life! Get excited! Tonight though I will sleep for 7am practice tomorrow.
