New day, new blog.

"This...is...me."
-Remy from Ratatouille

Hello there! I'm Mindy, the resident Redhead of the blog. I've never done a blog before, or anything similar so bear with me while I get my feet wet.

I'm not trying to look for tons of readers or to get popular in any way, I just thought I could start a blog as a creative outlet to share who I am and what my life is about, what I'm going through, that sort of thing. But while this is still my very first blog, I'll just be completely cliche and introduce myself a little bit.

I'm a short gal with a dorky sense of humor. I love being silly, laughing, and getting others to laugh. (Hopefully I can succeed at making you smile with my cheesy blog)
I grew up massively tomboyish my whole life but moving away from home and growing up a bit and discovering myself has caused me to want to be a little more girly. I recently cut my hair and I'm finding I can be totally cute and adorable while still having opportunities for fantastic tomboyish spikiness (And I absolutely love both sides of that spectrum more than anything)
I started school at Byu-Idaho in Rexburg last September, but I'm currently living home for the summer, and let me tell you; I love being home. I'm probably insanely biased, but I think Washington is the most wonderful place to live.

Well thats me in a nutshell, I think! So long as you can imagine a little redhead who laughs a lot, we'll all be on the same wavelength!

I'm excited about this blog, I really am. It'll take me a while to open up, I'm sure, but I think this will be an excellent way of getting out of my shell and being myself. I've always been nervous about sharing things about myself, which led me to believe that I've always been just been a super awkward person. I hope not, but I'm still learning though, its just a "not quite teenager, not quite full adult" phase, and awkwardness just comes with it. You've all been there, you're defnintely not a child anymore but you can't just join in with the adults. You get all the questions like "So how's college?" "How does it feel to be away from home?" "How's your mom doing with all the kids out of the house?" "Whats your major?/What are you studying?"

I mean, I totally understand why everyone is asking those questions though, its defnitely a legitimate curiosity! But beyond questions about school, I don't really have conversations about anything else. Its kinda disappointing, to be honest. Awkward young adult college student time is pretty dull, and all adults ask you about, is school. Its not that exciting everyone. Just long, exhausting, and stressful. I mean, I'll definitely tell you about it. But as this is about the 16th time answering yet another similar question, my answers are so rehearsed, I basically don't even have to think about it anymore. I'm sure I'm not the only one that this is happened to, I know you know what I'm talking about!
Ask me about anything else! Watch my eyes light up as you ask me about...Puppies, or why I'm studying animal science! Ask me how's my dog! (I'll be happy to show you a picture) Ask about my hair!
Guys. A small compliment makes. my. day. Bless and praise all of you who go out of your way to say something nice to me just because you felt like it because it truly makes me feel special. It goes for anyone, if you think something like "Oh, they have cool shoes on" or "Wow, I love their earrings", just let them know!! If you are anything like me, after walking away, you just wanna smile simply for telling someone else something nice. Its a fantastic feeling.

Thanks for bearing with this mess of a first blog post, I'm going to figure it out one of these days!

Keep laughing ♥ ~Mindy
