Hello there! Welcome to our blog. Did he say our? Yes… I think he did.
First a few words about why we're here. This website was recommended by a handful of individuals with whom I spent the past 8 weeks (shouts to S.H.I.!). I think the recommendation was at least partially humorous, but at some point it developed into a really good idea. Those of you reading this probably know that I’ll be starting a Ph.D. program at a certain university in the Fall. The blog was first suggested as a documentation of my experiences with everyday bullshit and an effective place for me to vent.
Saturday night, while I was eating chicken in the Atlanta Airport (no, I didn’t wait until I got home), I realized that I didn’t just want to do that. First of all, I have no idea how much time I’ll be able to dedicate to a blog. Secondly, I don’t know if I can keep anyone’s interest- including my own- with something that simple. Life would suck pretty bad if I went through enough everyday bullshit to consistently write about it.
Most importantly, though, I realized that I’m not the only person I know whose life will be changing significantly within the next few weeks. Most of you all graduated in May, or before, and have since been figuring out where you’ll let life take you (or you’ll take life) in the future. Regardless of your age, occupation, location, etc., interesting stuff is happening to you. I want to read about all of the wonderful, terrifying, exciting, and frustrating things that we will experience. That’s why this is our blog. I’m encouraging everyone who’s read this far (hopefully all of you… it’s only like 300 words) to contribute whatever you feel is relevant – whether it’s humorous, thought-provoking, controversial, or just a post about something you like or don’t like about the world around you. (Right now, I don’t know how to have multiple contributors to a blog, but I’ll find out soon.) My hope is that this will be a place where we can come together, share ideas, and stay connected.
I don’t know… just some thoughts I had. Let me know how you feel about it.
