I get really nervous whenever I have to write a public blog… minus the fact that I have a twitter… I just feel like people judge me and when I actually have to write something it’s like my mind goes completely blank.
So… here goes nothing. My name is Kathleen, Kat for short. I’m born and raised from Chicago, no not a suburb that no one has heard of, downtown Chicago. I am completely obsessed with the fact that I am from Chicago too and sometimes I really make it known, almost in an obnoxious way. I do the same thing with the fact that I’m Italian. I am obsessed with all things Italian and if anyone disagrees with me I will get really mad, kind of… in a jokingly way of course.
The big question everyone asks me is why in the heck I moved from Chicago to Texas. Well, long story short, I really just wanted a change of scenery. I’ve been in Chicago my whole life; and yes, while I’ve travelled all over the world I honestly just wanted almost a culture shock, for lack of better words. Everyone from my high school either went to Midwest schools, Universities in Colorado or schools on the East Coast. I wanted to go somewhere where I knew no one. Somewhere where I had to create a whole new image for myself and learn how to put myself out there. I feel like people right out of high school think too highly of themselves and act overly immature when they first get to College. Anyway, I chose St. Edward’s University randomly. I’m the type of person who likes to make impulsive decisions, and this was probably the best one I’ve ever made. I wouldn’t change it if I had the chance to go back.
Until next time…
