I've never done any blogging, so I'm sorry if I'm no good at it. I'm not even sure what I'm going to be writing about either. I read lots of blogs but authoring doesn't feel natural to me at all, and it should feel natural right?
My best friend in the whole wide world, Laura, told me that writing a blog would help me destress. I'm in my freshman year at the University of California, Irvine, and think I am in way over my head. There are so many smart people around here and I feel like I am the only one that stares at my professors with my mouth wide open and glossy eyes. I've had people ask me if I'm okay it's so bad.
I just don't know whats going on. I'm in my third quarter and have no idea what I'm majoring in. That scares me more than anything right now. I started thinking I wanted to do journalism but as you can probably tell already I don't write so well. My thoughts are all over the place and finding structure to them isn't something I want to spend all my time doing. I'm just not good at it and that's that.
It's not that I'm bad at school. I do study and learn and actually got good grades in high school. I even skipped a grade in elementary. But this is soooo much more serious than anything I've ever done! There's always some place to go, people to see, studies to study. It's no wonder half the people here look constipated all the time. There's no time to do anything but study!
I'm not sure how long I can keep this up. I'm stressed and completely frustrated. My social life is shot so I have to resort to this blog to destress, and I'm trying to think of things to write about and get frustrated because my life is just plain boring. The most exciting thing I've done recently is color my hair. That is the highlight of my month! B O R I N G. I'm getting more frustrated just thinking about it.
I'm sorry I'm unloading all of this all at once and in my first post. I think I need to relax first before writing. I'm going to hang out in the lounge for a bit. There's a great arcade down there and it has Dance Dance Revolution! Time to vent a little steam. Peace! ^.^

star,
your going to do great! writing is 10% creativity and 90% editing.
*pick a topic and try to stick to it
*decide on your "theme"
*and listen to my favorite podcast GrammarGirl
but don't listen to me. i'm terrible. i edit all my blogs post-publish! lol.
i'm sure there is some kind of giant blogging no-no about that 0.o
anyway, kudos on picking such an exciting major!
Oh my goodness thank you for commenting! I didn't expect anyone to! ^.^
The journalism major is so much fun but omg it's so much more work than I thought it would be. Writing the most simple of things takes so much time, so the last thing I want to do is jump through the editing hoops here. But I guess if people are reading it, I probably should!
