Big Changes For The Blog

Hi everyone!

So for the new year and just for some time now, I have really been taking a look at my blog and what I wanted to do with it. I've amassed a nice group of posts over the months and I didn't just want to delete them and start fresh.

However, I wanted to really give myself an identity in the blogging world and really get serious into my web design goals and web development goals. I want to work with blogs. So I figured the best thing to do was to give myself a make-over and a whole new identity.

Don't worry the "new identity", is simply a new blog name. I know it isn't a good idea to change your blog name, but I don't have a huge following and the few who do read this, I will make it easy as pie to find the new blog.

www.hello-hipster.com

I told you it would be easy ;)

I will also be doing some posts on Facebook and Twitter to catch anyone on there. I will leave this blog up for a little longer while I finalize things on the other site, but if you want new content, I suggest you just go there. I feel really optimistic about this and there are so many great things I plan on doing.

Get ready for more types of posts, series, and maybe even videos!

Thanks for all the support and see over at the new site!

Exciting News!

I have been working on my very own website! It will be a home for my name and all the things I like to do! It will be a great place for putting together my portfolio and be easily connected. It will almost be my digital resume of sorts.

I'm not really "known" enough to have a website but it may be of use to direct future employers! Plus it is a nice add on to the blog and it gives me a starting base to branch out from. It isn't ready yet, I'm still working on it and making it nice but I think it will be a nice surprise to see.

Which brings me to my other thought of the day... I think I want to change my blog name!

What do you guys think? I have one in mind but I'm not sure. I just don't think Some Blissful Chaos is really doing it for me anymore. I love the meaning behind it but it is time for me to move on.

So the one I am considering is : Theory of Thoughts

Yes? No?

Surprise! I'm baaack...

Well, well, well, we meet again old friend. Okay so yes, I've taken a long break from this but I'm back and ready to roll. There have been a bunch of things happening so I will do a recap.

First of all, I'd like to mention that I'm dying for the umpteenth time this year. I tried a new foundation on Monday and I instantly broke out in hives and redness. It is Wednesday night and I'm still broken out and itchy as itchy could be. I honestly would rather be in pain right now, than itchy, the problem is that it is everywhere. Ears, face, neck, legs, back, eyes and yeah you get the picture.

Other than dying a slow and itchy death, I've been hard at work trying to get this semester done and over with. There is 10 more days and I will have a month off before Summer classes...boo. However, that means I only have 8 classes left in my degree!

In other school related news, I found my ultimate dream masters program. It also happens to be at my dream school: NYU. The program is a joint MA in International Politics and Journalism...um can you say AMAZING?!? I would absolutely die if I could get into that program. However, I'm still a ways away from that :(

I had my 2nd interview on the 3rd with Public Allies! It went really well, I was happy with it even if it was a 3 hour group interview. Major downside? I have to wait until the end of May to hear anything...

Work is work and now that it is nicer out it seems as though it is getting a little more crazy. I think end of the school year fever is starting to affect the children. But there really is no blaming them, we all are starting to feel that way.

Things haven't been going amazing lately, we've been getting some not so good news on the health front as far as my family goes. My dad is having major issues with his back, and my mom needs surgery again eventually. My shoulder is still not where it should be either which is pretty disappointing. My family goes through hell, but we manage to keep together either way, and I'm thankful for that.

I have had a lot on my mind lately, and I feel like I need to come back and write again. Even if it has nothing to do with what is going on, writing is therapeutic. It helps me forget things and it helps me focus too. Sometimes, all you want to do is talk to that one person but it is just a whole lot easier to talk to a blank page or screen. It isn't as intimidating, at least for me. It is a fresh start in a world where that rarely ever happens...

Changing it up

So I'm sitting in a nail salon getting a pedicure right now. It's my happy birthday present to me haha even if my birthday is not until Friday. I was thinking though last night about my blog and what I really wanted to do with it. I think I might start a schedule for the blog and dedicate each day to a specific topic. I enjoy having a personal blog and a political one but until I can really get into writing political stuff a lot more I may just incorporate both.

Since I know I'll want to write about more than one thing, I will probably write a main daily post and then smaller posts about anything else.

I'll have to sit down and map it out but I think this will really help me get into my writing.
