Day #6 - A Picture of Something That Makes You...
I am lucky enough to have grown up in a beach town in San Diego where the ocean was never more than 5 minutes away. I take it for granted most days, but it really is the one thing that never fails to make me happy. There’s something therapeutic about standing in the sun, staring out at the ocean, listening to the rhythm of the tide that instantly calms me, gives me hope and faith in...

Day #4 - Your Parents
Ooo…about that topic. I’m going to choose to skip it. I’m sure, eventually, I’ll come back to this one and write all about my parents…but that’s not happening today.
What I can tell you is that my Psychology class starts tomorrow and I am VERY excited about it. I completely underestimated how much I would miss sitting in a classroom and learning new things...

Day #3 - Your First Love.
Finally getting around to my 3rd day of the blog challenge…my first love. Oh boy.
You know what? I’ll keep this short…like our relationship.
His name was Jason. Everyone called him Razo. He was my first love. The first boy I thought I could actually marry. He was 10 years older than me and the start of me realizing that I’m the oldest 23 year old you’ll ever meet...

Day #2 - Meaning Behind Your Blog Name
I have to admit, the idea of this 30 day blog challenge AND my blog name came from Ashley Hanson. She and I went to college together and she is one of the nicest girls you will ever meet. She doesn’t know it, but she inspired me (along with my friend Jenna) to start this blog and have a place to put my thoughts. You can read her blog at http://www.wingsonourwaydown.blogspot.com.
Anyway,...
I'm Kate.
I finally gave in. I’m writing a blog. I’m not even sure why other than I’ve been reading a TON of other peoples’ lately and it seemed like a fun idea. Plus, a friend of mine, Jenna, agreed that we should write blogs and start with a 30 day blog challenge.
I hope that at the end of this project, I will be so used to writing something everyday that thought-provoking,...
