First Awkward Introductions

So here it is, finally getting my own blog. It's something that I've been wanting to do for quite some time, but as the average college student, procrastination is one of my defining traits. But here I am, with a devoted promise with a post once a week, every Wednesday.

I guess I should introduce myself, if there is anyone out there reading this. My name is Kate, I'm 18 years old, and I am in my first year at Concordia University. I'm studying Creative Writing and English Literature, while living in what I believe to be the most amazing city in the world, Montreal. If you are unfamiliar, Montreal is in Quebec, that big part of Canada to the East that prides it's self on French culture, and does feel, at times, like it's very own country.

I'm here for one reason, to put out there my coming of age experience, documenting that transition from teenager to adult. I have always felt as though my generation is given a bad name, and made fun of on a daily basis. I'm not claiming that it is going to be exciting, but I am however, claiming it to be real. I'll try and leave out the boring details of every day life. I just believe that maybe by writing it down, the real to the rest of the world might start to feel real to me. So I do hope that you'll commit to this journey with me. It's probably not going to be easy. It's probably going to be stressful for myself. It's also probably going to have hormone filled posts, even though I will try my hardest to avoid those, seeing as I feel those things should be left back in high school. This is an offer for you, the world of the inter-webs to see my heart. Please be kind, as I'm just learning how to live in the real world.

I'll end this first post by welcoming, thanking, and telling you about some current events. Being December, it is exam month. My first semester as a University student, now behind me, with only one exam standing in my way. It went by incredibly fast. I feel like it should have taken more time, or that I should feel as though my brain is full of knowledge, instead it feels like mush. I understand now how people can claim that in college you know everything about everything, and everything about nothing. I hope you wish me luck for this British Literature exam I have to write on Saturday, personally, I'm nervous. I got away with only having 1, yes 1, exam in my first semester. Some call it lucky, as for me I call it scary. But hey it's only 40% of my grade on the line, what could be bad?

So people of the inter-webs, I hope to see you next Wednesday, if you have taken any interest in this. Also if you have any suggestions for this blog please post in the comments!
Have an outstanding week,
Kate
