As you can tell by my description on my blog site, it you read it, I want to focus on my life/college experiences. Not only sharing them, but also just give advice and help others who have had the same struggles as I have or I can just entertain who ever is reading. Since my life is just one big laugh so far! (At least for me anyway) I will not be sharing my actual name on this site because I want to remain anonymous for my blogging experience. Thank you for understanding!
A little bit about myself, I attend the University of Oregon and will be graduating in the year 2020, making me a junior right now. GO DUCKS! My major is in History with a minor in Philosophy. “What will you even do with this?,” or “You want to be a teacher then?” are the questions I receive by family and random people I meet everyday. It’s honestly so fucking annoying but I understand because it’s such a random major. Not a lot of people say they have majored in history unless they are a teacher or wanting to be a historian or something. Yes I do want to be a teacher at some point, maybe, but it’s not my main goal right now. I am focused on becoming a research writer for a magazine or some type of magazine or for the news or whatever. As a history major you research and write ALL THE TIME, so might as well just put it into use. Teaching is just my backup plan if this whole writing thing ends up not falling through. As for Philosophy, honestly I just chose it because I loved learning about Plato and Aristotle, and the fact that they were totally high off their asses writing. It’s so interesting trying to figure out their thought process.
Now that you know a little about my school background, I guess I will inform you of my life background. I am originally from this small country town in Oregon. To sum it up, there were more cows then people and I hated it. So boring and the mindset of the people living there did not match with mine and it’s just too conservative for me. Nothing wrong with being conservative, everyone has a right to their own opinion, I just didn’t match with it. The year I graduated I was so ready to leave that place. I came to Eugene a few months later that fall to attend University of Oregon. The moment I moved in I knew I was not ready for this AT ALL. Being from a small town there was no diverse culture and I was thrown into a dorm where that’s all there was. Of course, Eugene is still mostly white, but for my small little dorm community there were a lot of different cultures. It was so amazing being able to learn about where they came from and how they celebrated their cultures. I learned very quickly what I could say and what I could not say. It was very hard for my to adjust, I am naturally a shy person and everyone seemed so loud! I was not used to people constantly coming up to me asking to join this and join that. In my head I was like, “get the fuck out of my face bitch. I’m just trynna get a sandwich in peace.” After adjusting and figuring out where I was, I got used to the noise and just went about my business. Then the following year I got an apartment, which has made everything so much easier. I have my own space now and I can finally shit in peace. You have no idea how excited I was not to have 10 people knocking on the door while I was just trying to use the bathroom. It’s a good feeling, trust me. Overall, the dorm life and my life in Eugene has helped me grow to the person I am today. No lie, I love this person now!
This was kind of a brief summary of my life so far. I wanted to make this just a short introductory of what I will be talking about with future blog posts. If you are actually reading this please let me know what you think of it! Comments, good or bad, are always helpful. The point of this is to improve my writing skills and practice putting my personality into my writing while giving good insight and have my ideas make sense to you. Sometimes I just think of things in my head and think it’s a good idea and write it, Then people are just so confused and don’t understand, making it worse for everyone!
Thank you so much for reading if you did. It means a lot!!
