The hardest part about making a blog isn't coming up with the CSS code, or finding the perfect picture for your logo, or picking the most original, attention grabbing title you possibly can from your personal list of original, attention grabbing titles for things. The hardest part about making a blog is figuring out what to write about. Because as much as we (We being the teenage population of the internet) would like to pretend that the photo sharing, DIY trying, Photoshop flaunting side of blogging is the only side of blogging; it isn't. We're deluding ourselves in order to avoid participating in the basest form of communication, because who wouldn't rather re-blog thousands of photos and memes than take the time to write out their thoughts and experiences? (What? WRITING? Like in SCHOOL? Like ESSAYS?!?&* Forget that noise. I'm going back to Tumblr to find pictures of kittens. Re-blogging pictures of kittens expresses who I am as well as sharing the angst of my tortured teenage soul with my internet brethren.)
Regardless of what the majority of my generation has become intent on believing, blogs should have a greater purpose than just sharing tired content. The internet is the greatest learning tool society has been given yet, and this is my chance to add something to it. Three cheers for original content! "Hip hip, hooray! Hip hip...." Anyway.
I'm Alexa, by the way. I'm a 17 year old college freshman who's feeling entirely too pessimistic about pursuing an art major. I'm writing this blog to share my passion for art and life and everything in between in hopes of organizing my disastrous pile of art-projects-to-be. WARNING; I'll be posting lots of pictures, so if you're not into that thing... Get out while you still can.
