Hello, hello!

Well isn't this exciting. My first honest-to-goodness blog post. Sure, I've dabbled in published thoughts on the internet. At various points in my life I've had a website through Geocities I believe (oh, middle school me), a Xanga, a Myspace account, a Facebook account, a couple tumblr blogs, a Twitter account, and most recently, an Instagram account. But taking the plunge and creating a blog that requires interesting content, polished thoughts, regular upkeep, and some genuine effort? That's a bit intimidating.

But anyways, now for a brief introduction. My name is Amanda and I'm 22 years old. I'm working on my Bachelor's degree in Medical Technology, with hopes to obtain my masters immediately after in Biotechnology. I'm clothing obsessed but I won't make the grand statement of saying I'm super fashionable or a style guru. I know what I like and care about it a lot though, and you'll see plenty of my personal style on this blog. I have ambitions of being crafty and exercising regularly, as well as maintaining a social life and enjoying quality time with my boyfriend. However, I seem to be too pressed for time (or too lazy?) to balance all of these, plus school and work. I'm hoping that in efforts to keep this blog interesting, I'll expand my interests and spend more time doing new things. I think that introduction should suffice for now, as I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunity to talk about myself as time goes on.

For seasoned blogging pros that stumble across my itty bitty baby blog, suggestions are always welcomed! I'd love some great lifestyle, fashion, and any other blogs to follow to draw inspiration from. I'd like to eventually feature regular posts (i.e. What I Wore Wednesday, etc.), so suggestions there are appreciated too.

My current goals are to post at least once a week at first and then more frequently as I become accustomed to it, complete with photo sets and truly interesting content, and discover outlets to get my blog out there (once there's some content to read).

Until next time!
