“Start a blog. Do it. Just do it.” This is the thought that
has been crossing my mind over and over lately. Then the sane part of my brain
would reel me back in, saying “Liz, let’s get real. What in the hell would you
blog about? You don’t know jack about fashion, you can barely put makeup on
your own face, you don’t have any crazy talents or interests. No one wants to
hear about your incredibly average life.”
But then I started thinking. So many
people say social media is a waste of time. I disagree. In 20 years, I want to
be able to sit down with my husband, look up my old links, and say, “This is
who I was at 20. It’s all the things that made me laugh, smile and cry. It’s
all the recipes I wanted to try, the quotes that I abided by and believed in.
It’s all of the things that I wanted to do someday. It’s all the struggles I
made it through. It’s the best friends that stood by me, and the letter I wrote
to you about how I wished you were there. This is who I was.”
Everything I said before is true. I don’t know
a whole lot about most things. And
usually, my life is painfully average. But then I thought…isn’t everybody’s? I’m
living in Chicago, figuring my way through the city and life with my amazing
family and friends along for the ride. And…I like to think my humor doesn’t
totally suck. So this is gonna be the story of a single college chick, living
in the city. Exactly as the title hints, this is going to be a blog with random
odds and ends. I’m having a blast finding the best coffee spots and hidden
restaurant gems, slowly but surely DIY-ing my awesome apartment, and just
figuring out who I am. Why not share it? I can’t promise you it’s all going to
be exciting, but I’m gonna give it my best. And hopefully you’ll learn
something along the way. Or, at the very least, be semi-entertained J
