I have done the whiny, picture-posting, celebrity boy drooling, vapid blog. And in the even earlier days I have done the emo, band-obsessed, word vomit blog. But at 20 years old and at a crucial intellectual and cultural explosion of likes and dislikes, it has come to the point where I do the real blog. The commentary on things that I feel are important in a smart, well-written way. It's time for combining my very specific loves of fashion, fiction, and pop culture and to use my opinions, observations, and desires for these things to both improve my writing and journalism skills as well as an outlet for all of the things I may say to my friends and no one else.
It is time for the grown-up blog.
I must confess, while daunting, this experience may either fall through or flourish. I tend to begin things in a flurry of excitement and lavish plans only to later forget or become lazy and undevoted. Of course at this very moment I am convinced that ths blog is going to be my love and joy but I may wake up tomorrow morning and wonder why, at 11:37 pm on a Thursday night decided to embark on this endeavour. Am I proud of my usual failure and expected lazyness? Absolutely not. But at least I am honest.
And so reader, I will introduce myself as Rachael: a college student with plans bigger than she can imagine and an avid consumer of anything fashion related, literature, and the devious and addicting world of pop culture.
And while to some these things may not be what many consider "the real world" but essentially it is my real world and a real world for many others like me. Where are you, fashion, fiction, and pop culture lovers? Come find me.
--Rachael
