College as a Bibliophile

As someone who has recently fallen completely in love with the idea of blogs and the ideas they can produce, the tips they provide, and the overall feeling of seeing someone else's life is just as crazy as your's, I am beginning this blog in the hopes that someone, even if just one person, finds this blog worthy of a read. I will attempt to recount my life at a university as an undergraduate.

Usually this would not be so surprising, as your parents and just about anyone else has told you the same things about college life. Well, I believe writing in the present is a better representation of the experience than hearing it from successful people in your life who look back longingly at the time when they felt free and empowered. I feel that in their success they have idolized the college experience and give a very narrow impression. That's not to say your parents or friends or relatives aren't right about their experience; I just hope to tell my story as a not-so-typical, book-loving adult who is just beginning her journey in an unfamiliar place, hoping that others find this blog as helpful as I do for myself by writing it.
