The Beginning

Hello, my name is Lexi.

This is a blog about my life, my thoughts, and whatever else I decide to post because, well, this is in fact my blog, therefore, I can do with it what I please.

I've told myself for a long time now that I would start a blog.  I'm currently a Journalism and Media Communication major in college, so I feel like that's the sort of thing "my kind of people" should do.  Except, I have never be able to convince myself to stick with consistently writing on the Internet.  A blog is a weird sort of thing - it's kind of like a diary, but it's a diary that anyone can read if they choose, which is kind of strange if you ask me, but also really neat because it can give people a voice.

But the point is this:  I have finally decided to start a blog.  For one year, from July 12, 2014 (which was actually yesterday) to July 12, 2015 I am committing myself to writing on this blog once a week - 52 posts.  And maybe, if I'm lucky, I will have gotten myself into a routine and I will stick with this blog even longer.

One more thing, whether you're wondering or not,  I am 20 years old as of yesterday. Math will tell you that I have one year now until I turn 21 (crazy, huh?).  This blog is a part of my "one year bucket list" - what am I going to commit to doing, and maybe changing, in this one year.  

Life experience, not my own life mind you, has taught me that everyone will someday die.  I believe, however, that many times people create bucket lists that they never accomplish because we as humans, myself included, believe we are invincible; that there is no possible way we will only live one more year, month, or maybe even one more day.  I believe that by creating a "one-year bucket list" I have created a reachable goal for myself for things I want to conquer.

This blog is also to hold me accountable to scratching items off my list.  I'm sure throughout this year, I will be posting specific updates on my "one year bucket list."

And, since I'm already writing this, thanks for joining me on this one year adventure and reading my blog. Enjoy!
