Introduction

Hello! I've started noticing an increase in popularity of blogging in the past year or so, and I thought I'd give it a shot since it seems so fun! I don't really have a professional camera or anything yet, but we all have to start somewhere, right? Even the best bloggers who are using their blogs in their careers had to start at the bottom. Anyhow, I'll start out by telling you a bit about myself. That seems appropriate.

Eh-hem...

My name is Katie, as you've probably guessed from my blog's name. I'm thinking of changing the spelling to Katy, because I think that looks cooler, but maybe that's kind of an odd thing to want to do. I'm a senior in high school, and in the fall I'll be starting my first year of college/university. I'm excited and terrified. In the past year, I've come to be obsessed with all things beauty and fashion. I spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos on how to do the perfect winged eyeliner (even though I still can't do it!), and looking at Forever 21's online store (sadly, the closest store is 45 minutes away). I like to ski, and that's about the extent of my sport life. I've been trying to get into running, but that's still a work in progress. I've always had a little obsession with traveling and going to new places, but it's kicked into a full-blown fixation since I went to Italy last summer. Sometimes, I want to throw the idea of college out the window, get a job for a bit, and then just travel around the world. Then my brain is all like "NO", and I listen unfortunately. I do plan on studying abroad in London in a couple years, so we'll have to see how that turns out. Also, I enjoy obsessing over things such as Pretty Little Liars (June 11th needs to get here), Doctor Who (rycb), Sherlock (they're filming the new season right now, omg), Harry Potter (forever), and whatever else I happen to discover and enjoy. My favorite artist of all time is Taylor Swift. Yes, you heard me right (well more like read, but you get the point). She's been a huge inspiration to me since around 2008, and I will never not love that girl. She's wonderful. I'm going to one of her shows this summer (I also adore Ed Sheeran, his lyrics are spellbinding), and I cannot wait! Right now, my life basically consists of drinking too much Dunkin Donuts, stressing out about the FAFSA, and spending as much time as I can with my friends. This year's gonna be a big one, and I'd love it if you'd join me to see how it all plays out. I'm eager to see where my life goes, what will happen, and who I'll meet along the way. When it comes down to it, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world.

Here's myself and one of my best friends on the stone wall around Central Park; aren't we so cool?

I'm the one on the right with the blindingly bright pants.

Okay, thank you and goodbye.
