New Chapters

Here it is, my first blog post! I have been contemplating creating a blog for a while, and I finally decided to go for it. Here's a little bit more about me, in case you were wondering.

My name is Vanessa, but a lot of people call me VSassy, or Veesass (hence the title of this blog). I am a college student majoring in print & digital journalism at the University of Southern California, and in the fall I will be entering my junior year. Although I go to school in Los Angeles, I am originally from Atlanta, Georgia, so I like to say that I rep both coasts.

Writing has been a passion of mine since I was a kid, and hopefully I can spend the rest of my life doing what I love the most-yeah, that'd be pretty awesome. In addition to writing, I love reading, volunteering, and traveling. I also enjoy shopping and playing soccer as well as hanging out with friends in my free time. I am always down for an adventure, so it goes without saying that exploring new things, whether it be music, food, or culture, is right up my alley.

As for why I started this blog....well, why not? I love to write, and I love to try new things, so it only makes sense to try something I've never done before that involves writing! It is also a very special day for me, and a great day to try something new...that's right, it's my birthday!! Hello Twenties, it's nice to finally meet you :)

Recently, a very close friend of mine reminded me of something very important: Sometimes, you have to close one chapter in order to begin a more exciting one.

I am currently starting a new chapter in my life--Today, my twenties, and in a couple of months, a new school year with tons of new adventures in store for me. I want to share my experiences with all of you. So without further ado, here are the memoirs of a Veesass.

xoxo,
