So I just got home from my English Lit class...(slightly interesting today and Bro. Ward only cried once) and my creative energy is bouncing off the walls so here I sit. Pouring my guts out to all of you who are reading this. Which is probably only my mom. Hi mom...don't worry I didn't tell anyone else that you love me the most of all your children. Your secret's safe with me! Except I guess now it's not..sorry! Anyway I think the first post is supposed to be the one where I tell all of you why I am blogging. So here it is.
I blog because...
1. Everyone is doing it!! Haha...ok that's not a real reason. But really. I don't like to feel that I am missing out on anything! And the blogging community is like the cool kids in high school that everyone knows and all you wish for every day is to be able to sit with them at lunch. Only this time around...you can just make your own 'cool kid table' (a.k.a. blog) and write crazy stuff to the world!
2. I pretty much totally love myself and I just want everyone to know it! (Slightly kidding..but only slightly)((also FYI..I say 'slightly' a ton..if it bugs you I'm really sorry..but I will probably say it anyway)) And I laugh a LOT and see the humor in just about everything.
3.College is basically one short, fun filled, exciting chapter in this book we call life, and I want to share the best (and sometimes worst) of it with all of you! When I say 'all of you' I mean whoever is reading this, which again, is probably just my madre. Hopefully I can teach you something you wouldn't have learned otherwise, but mostly I think I am the one who is going to benefit from this.
4. I am a huge journal writer..and this is really just the next step. Anyone still using an actual journal and pen (yikes) is way behind. Totally just kidding because I still write in mine!
5. I think it's very important to be proactive and I think blogging is a tiny step in the right direction! I know I am not going to change the world or anything..but I would hope that someone reads my blog and learns something they never knew before or gains some inspiration to go out and change the world. Like I said..baby steps. :) This might sound crazy..but that's my middle name. Actually it's Noelle which is way cooler, but you get the point.
6. Speaking of names you may be wondering about my "blog name". Or maybe not..but I am going to tell you anyway. Newsy Nibby. Well it's a long story that starts with me having this childhood nickname and ends in me using it now. So I guess it wasn't a long story. But to clarify...my nickname wasn't Newsy Nibby. It was just Nibby, Nibs, Niblet..and if you haven't figured out why I added the newsy part...You might want to put on a helmet.
Wow....this has really digressed. What was I saying? Reasons why I blog...ok. Last one.
7. I have started getting really creative in my old age (hehe) and I need some form of creative outlet otherwise I am going to start graffiti-ing my terrible white apartment walls or dying my hair crazy colors. Oh wait...too late. Haha..the point is I pull inspiration from everything around me, from the little old lady with the awesome flowers who lives across the street from my apartment complex to the waves of students walking to class equipped with their i pods and ugg boots to fellow bloggers like cjane or TAMN. Woah...I just said fellow bloggers. That makes me feel awesome.
Well that's it. My reasons all laid out. But of course there are a million more reasons to blog!! I guess this is the beginning of the next chapter of my life. Keep reading. It can only get better from here...and I promise to not have any more posts this long! Until next time....
