I was born in December almost 20 years ago and I honestly cannot believe how fast the time has gone. Some days I wish I could be eight years old again, completely oblivious to the hectic world around me. I am old enough to remember where I was when the twin towers were attacked-- in my living room watching Rolie Polie Olie, for those of you who were curious, but I am young enough that I don't remember the scandal that revolved around President Clinton. I learned a lot from my grandparents while they were around and I am continuously learning from my peers and my parents. I hope to capture some of that wisdom here, and some of my life experiences. I graduated from high school in 2012 and I just finished my freshman year at Iowa State University. I am both excited and frightened by what my future holds, but if I have learned anything so far, it's to live in this moment right now and absorb as much of it as I possibly can.
The place that I will bring my children into some day will no doubt consist of less tangible things like books and photo albums, so I hope to let this serve as a type of diary. I want to provide myself and future generations with a glimpse into the past. As our dear Andy Bernard so eloquently put it, "I wish there was a way to know you were in the good ol' days before you actually left them". I'm not sure I've reached those days yet, but I hope that when I look back on this in years to come, I can point to a place in time and say "Yep! There it is! That was a great time".
