Being a student comes with so many responsibilities and stress, especially being a student at UCSB, because school in the quarter system is NOT easy. It’s fast paced beyond anything I imagined, with another midterm or another paper ever single week.

I don’t really know how I came up with the idea to start this blog. I’m not much of a writer, aside from essays and papers for school. I don’t find myself all that interesting. But I have been places. And if my life goes as I’m hoping (and I think it will), I’ll be going to a lot more places. I got bit by the travel bug, and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I guess at some point I just kinda realized… it’d be nice to have somewhere to write down all these thoughts that are constantly running through my brain. I’ve lived through so many experiences, and i’ll live through so many more. It would be a shame to forget them, or to not share them with people who are interested in knowing. And so it begins.. My blog about my wanderlust 🙂
