Yep, two blog posts back to back. I never thought I'd see the day, but I have been a blog fiend for the last few months and want to share.
I think I have mentioned that my good friend Anjli, over at thissinglelife.wordpress.com, has a pretty awesome blog. Ever since she started it, I have been on a blog hunt for more and more. Now, I have about twenty blogs that I check at least every other day. I am completely fascinated. It's actually sort of becoming a problem since the people who write the blogs have basically become characters in my life story. Like I will tell my friends about stories or pictures that they post as if I know them. Some of them are fashion blogs, some are food blogs, some are just personal blogs, but each one is unique and interesting. Even if it's just pictures, I feel like for the few minutes it takes me to scan a blog entry, I really do know them.
To me, a blog is like a very short book. Or I suppose you could call it a very long book, since entries could go on for years. Just a quick insight into a person's life and boom, there are so many stories behind. Something that has always drawn me to literature is the fact that there are endless possibilities. With fiction, even more so. You never know where a story is going to take you and what will happen. A blog is like that, except, in some ways, better; it's never ending(well, sort of) and these are real people. Anyway, in case I ever do say, "This blog I follow was just talking about that!" here are the ones I read.

Reasons Why I am Not a Grown Up
So I'm a junior in college, right? Meaning that I have four semesters (presumably) left of my undergrad. Seems like a long time, but then again, some days it still feels like I'm in high school. Moral of the story, it's going by really fast and I keep forgetting to keep up. While, yes, technically I am an adult, I am sooo not a grown up. For the last few weeks I've been keeping a list as to why I am not in any way a grown up to share with you, my many readers.
-I am afraid of the dark because the monsters/ axe murders come out in the dark
-I don't like to got to sleep and never want to get out of bed
-I am essentially a selfish person
-My mom is my best friend
-I have the attention span of a goldfish
-Technology is usually way over my head and I have no inclination to change that
-I am an optimist about the stupidest things
-My imagination is overactive to a fault
-I take things very much to heart and then brush them off
-A good hug can fix it for me
-My sisters are still my heroes
-The reason I can't cook is because I am too impatient to read recipes or practice
-I am too impatient.
-I don't care if I'm not totally put together whilst in public
-I still rebel against my parents
- Taxes. Wait, what?
-I spend half my time plotting to move to far off places and and change the world, and the other half in a cold panic that I'll ever have to legitimately leave my mommy
-The reason I am such a good babysitter is because I am basically a child myself
-I have nightmares that will bother me hours after I wake up
-Graduation, which is still two long years away, is freaking me out already
-I reread books until I have them memorized. And then read them again
-I don't really have a concrete plan for a job post-graduation
-Sometimes my friends can still bully and pressure me, and I let them
-I still think twenty-five is old; then shiver when I realize that's only 5 years away
-Boys have cooties
Of course, there are a lot more. Like I said, impatience is my thing so I suppose it's lucky I even made a list that long to show. As much as I wish I was super grown up and responsible, there are so many things I love about still being a kid, things I wouldn't change. Plus, despite my child-like attitude towards life, there are a lot of things about me that are pretty grown up and I'm fairly proud of those things. For now, I'm just figuring it out and to me, that's what matters. I have the rest of my life to be a grown up. Who cares if I'm not one now?
