Don't mind me, Just rambling on
Amped to announce that I was nominated for my first blogging award, the Liebster Award! This award is given to bloggers, from fellow bloggers in order to recognize the hard work and passion we all put into the blogging community. Shout out to Ciara of http://theclumsyclover.weebly.com/ for nominating me! (Go check out her blog!)
Tradition is that everyone who gets nominated for the Liebster Award answers questions to share with their readers, so here I go! What inspired you to become a blogger? My friend Ciara who nominated me! She sent out a group text to friends showing us her blog and I absolutely loved it! I thought maybe I should start doing something similar since I am always searching for college related posts on Pinterest. What gave me the idea to start blogging about being a RA (and about college in general) was prepping for our hall theme for the incoming first-years at school. I thought it would be cool if I wrote down all of the different themes I had done in the past so that I could reminisce and not have any repeat themes. One thing led to another and now I have a RA blog! Why do you blog what you blog about? I blog about being a RA because I truly love my job. It takes a lot of effort, energy, and hard work, but that is what makes it so rewarding. I love helping out people especially with things I have just recently gone through, such as my first year of college. I want to help out those in college and especially those looking into being a RA! What is your background? Have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 20 years now! Still adjusting to change in my junior year of college outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Is blogging your full-time job? No just starting out! Would be an amazing way to share my passions though! What keeps you blogging? Knowing that there are so many other college bloggers out there that truly care about the people they write to. Sometimes I feel silly when I send packing lists or long texts with college advice to my high school friends, so it is reassuring to know that I am not the only one out there who cares so much about the college experience and helping others out. Dream vacation? For me, every time I come back home is a vacation. As much as I love my school, home is where I am meant to be. Hiking, swimming in the ocean, enjoying spectacular views, and getting sun is all I need to relax. Biggest inspiration in life? My uncle and my dad. Amazing men who are still very close 50+ years into their life. My dad has followed his passions from day 1, and it has lead him to an amazing life. He is a good person all around, and I have become so much closer with him now being in college and being able to bond with him as an adult. My uncle is someone who has always been there for me; someone who I could trust my feelings with. He has been a huge help in college, especially when I was first moving in and having doubts about being at school, which lead to doubts about my friends and my relationship. I know I can talk to my uncle about anything, from encouraging words to a good book suggestion. Best and worst blogging decision you made? Best: Having the guts to do it in the first place! It is a lot of work right now trying to jump into the game and get readers, but it is all so exciting at the same time! Worst: Not blogging my first year as a RA. I want to be able to look back at how I have grown as a college student and a RA, so I really wish I had more of my first-year RA experiences in writing. Would you ever consider rebranding? Someday yes. But as of now since I am just starting out, no. Now it’s time for my nominations! Make sure you check out their sites, I have had a great time exploring and learning more about them!
