My Higher Education Adventure

Daily writing prompt
What colleges have you attended?

I started my college journey at Chattanooga State Technical Community College in 1988. I flunked out. In 1990, I got a second chance at Hiwasseee College, where I graduated with an Associate in Arts Degree. From there, I went to Lincoln Memorial University for one semester. I discovered I wasn’t happy there and transferred to Middle Tennessee State University (a school I never thought I would find myself at) where I graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications and minors in Sociology and Political Science.

Throwback Thursday – Thunderbird Inn, Savannah

This was from four years ago at the Thunderbird Inn in lovely Savannah, Georgia. It is a really cool place to stay with an awesome name. Thanks for the pix Soup Diva.

Lazy Days

Daily writing prompt
Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

When I take a day off I cannot just lay about all day. I need to do some things so that I can say I got some stuff accomplished around the house. I don’t bring work home with me ever. We have a dog and he needs to go out to do his business so being lazy isn’t an option. I guess I just need to learn to relax other than that.

Why Do I Blog? Because It’s Fun!

Daily writing prompt
Why do you blog?

I blog because it’s a fun and creative outlet for me. The cool thing about blogging is that you can make connections with people from all over the world. We get to share a little of our corner of the world and what we think about stuff. Blogs are a digital extension of our real-world lives. Every post is a snapshot to borrow a photography term of what is going on at any moment.

Those posts can be crafted into a series where you have the opportunity to share thoughts about a universe of things. I love to blog and it’s cool to know that I have a potential audience of billions of people. My official slogan is “Keep on blogging” and I say that because the community needs your voice.

Over Used Words

Daily writing prompt
What is a word you feel that too many people use?

I personally think that the words “perfect” and “cool” are overused. And I am guilty of overusing those words myself. They are words of positivity and affirmation and since I am a recovering people pleaser they seem to fit most situations. I probably won’t stop using them.

My Hopes For My Blog

Daily writing prompt
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

It’s my hope that my blog can be a place of realistic positivity. A site where I share the ideas that being authentic and nerdy is needed more than ever. This blog I hope is a source of inspiration to those who needed it. Connection and sharing ideas are important online.

I hope my blog can bring people who are on the fringes and feel like misfit toys together. Whatever I can do with this blog to make the world a better place I hope it can accomplish that mission.

Thanks for being a part of my online life and blog.
