There's no such thing as blogging...

... because if you think about it, isn't blogging just writing?

Truth.

I feel the need to write because I want to share my life, and maybe not even with other people. See, I've written blogs before, and although I posted about, hmm, maybe 2-6 entries on each of them, I can still look back on them. To me, that's fun. I have a pretty bad memory, and it's great to be able to look back on something like a journal or... a blog. 

I'm going to try something new this time, though. I'm going to try and make this last, at least until summer is over. If I don't update when school starts it's because I'm busy.

Really, really busy.

But, as I said, it is currently summer. And I'm free.

Really, really free.

Now I guess since this is an "introductory blog", I should introduce myself. (If anyone I don't know happens to stumble upon this page).

For starters, my name is Emily. I'm 19, about to be 20 (ew, I don't even want to think about that). I go to school at Marquette and am majoring in Corporate Communication and minoring in Social Welfare & Justice. I'm actually not really sure of what I want to do after I graduate, but with my major there are what seem like endless paths for me to take. I'm from a small town in Illinois. Believe me, after you get out of my neighborhood you find yourself surrounded by cornfields. I'm a huge sports nut and I'm sure I'll be blogging a LOT about sports. Phillies, Cubs, Golden Eagles, Blackhawks, Bears. 'Nuff said. (I know, I know, if you're wondering 'Why the Phillies? You're from Illinois', it's because my Dad was born and raised in Philadelphia and he is the most phanatical Phillies fan I know. He got me into them at a really young age. But don't you worry Chicago-ans, as I stated, I do enjoy the Cubs as well.) 

I also love to read. I have a slight obsession with Jane Austen which has made me a tad bit guilty of being a hopeless romantic. Also, okay confession numero uno... I kinda secretly read silly books that I don't tell anyone about. Examples of this are The Princess Diaries, The Clique, and most recently (don't judge me!) ... Twilight. Although I first read Twilight my junior year of high school, and that was nearly four years ago. So I guess I can take the smallest bit of pride in knowing that I read that silly book before the phenomenon. 

I have a place for everything, and everything needs to be in its place. Let's just say I don't do messy. During the school year, my planner is my life. It would be the one thing I would be lost without (yeah, that's including my phone, my computer, and my credit card, shocker, I know.) 

Well, I'd say that sums me up pretty well.

I'll be in touch :P
