Introductions, to me, are always the hardest parts of any conversation, speech, or paper. How do you make yourself appeal to a wide variety of people so that they will be interested enough to continue listening or reading? A public speaking teacher would say to use an attention grabber, so I will.

I’m a loser. I will not contradict anyone who calls me such, and I’m not offended by it. In fact, I often take pride in it. I’m very different than the average college student (well, at least how I perceive the average college student to be). The number one (and only important) difference is that I love to read. I haven’t met many people who enjoy words as much as I do. I’m actually working on my own miniature library. I actually fell so in love with reading at such an early age that I decided to major in English so that I could teach it. But that’s enough about reading; I don’t want to bore anyone with it on the first blog.

Some other things I enjoy include chocolate (an addiction), softball, writing poetry, history, and hanging out with the best roommate ever. The last one is what I’ll write about most often. Even if I am a loser, things get pretty interesting around me sometimes. My mom, sister, and closest friends are my saving grace and I couldn’t live without them. They make my life interesting and they hold me up when I want to fall.

So I guess my introduction is over. Don’t worry, though-you will get to know me very thoroughly as long as I’m writing this. Happy reading!
