Entry #2: Advice From A Recovering People Pleaser

     Often when I do self reflection, I think back on all of the embarrassing things I have said or done. Which results in me cringing at myself. But who doesn't? This is pretty frequent, but occasionally, I will have a break through. After having one of these sessions recently, (usually late at night when I have nothing better to do) I had a major realization. I had noticed that throughout my life, I have been a people pleaser. Now being a people pleaser isn't a bad thing, but it isn't a great one either. In the moment you may feel in control, and that everyone around you enjoys being around you. Until you realize that you aren't being genuine. While thinking about this concept, I had realized that I wasn't one hundred percent sure who I was. Was I a chill, free-spirited person? Maybe more uptight? I didn't know. Which scared me. How does someone who is eighteen not know at least a little bit of who they are? So, after my little self-loathing session, I made so...

Entry #1: Blogs, Blogs, and more Blogs

       Blogs! They can be about pretty much everything. From DIY projects for your living room to recipes for the table, blogs can be an incredible source of information. Not only that, but they can also showcase people's lives and day too day activities. With blogs, the possibilities are limitless. Anyone has the ability publish writings to the internet and discover an audience that can appreciate them. Now you may be asking yourself, "Sarah, what is your opinion on blogs?" I'm glad you asked! I believe blogs are great! But it takes a certain type of person to be able to create a cohesive and well thought out one.      For instance, a good example of this would be The Skinny Confidential. You can explore this masterpiece of a blog  here.  This blog is clear and is visually interesting for its audience. The blog is organized very clearly with easy to access links and directories.

Blog #0: All About Yours Truly

    Hi everyone! My name is Sarah and I am an 18 year old college student who is slowly, (but surely), working towards an associates degree in science with an emphasis in biological sciences. While I wish I could say that I know one hundred percent of where my future lies, that is what makes the journey that much more exciting! Now that I am done making myself sound like a motivational speaker, I might as well start talking more in depth about myself. So sit back, relax, maybe put on my favorite song  (which happens to be linked for your viewing pleasure), and let's get into it!      I was born April 12, 2002 right here in Arizona. I live with my parents and my sister Amy. We have two cats (Vader and Cheesy), and a dog (Ellie). When I was younger I always gravitated to creative activities. This led me to eventually get into painting. I specifically like to paint portraits. I also loved (and still love) Halloween and all things scary. This eventual...
