On Taking the Plunge
Perhaps I’ve spread myself too thin.
I’m involved in a number of blogs, and have been for some time. There’s one music blog, one pop culture blog, and one very classic Tumblr. Adding another one to the mix? It might not have been the most prudent decision.
But I suspect it might actually be a good thing. On the (fairly recent) day I turned 20, I vowed to move past my teenage years. The majority of them were defined by self-doubt and aimlessness. I am on the brink of a new decade, and I want these years to be instead defined by a sense of agency and drive. Frankly, I’m not certain what that means, but I want to explore it.
I’ve followed a few blogs by 20-somethings (I can’t call myself one just yet) who’ve been dedicated to posting once per day. I like this idea. It’s admittedly self-indulgent. I suppose I’ve never really tried articulating my thoughts in a structured way. I’m carving out a place - a place to profess my love of Rick Ross and my love of astrophysics, a place where my slight degree of social ineptitude will soon reveal itself, a place to let loose.
So, hello blog, hello Tumblr. I am Lily, I am a 20-year-old girl transplanted from San Francisco to Manhattan haphazardly looking to double major in sociology and physics. I like hip hop, quantum mechanics, sex, and good grammar.
And if it hadn’t been made clear already, I am pro-Oxford comma.
Well, here goes nothing.
