Hello and welcome to my complicated world! You can call me Elle. I’m a whimsical, unique, caring, awkward, introverted, charismatic, and somewhat animated type of person with versatile interests. There are so many sides to me, but it keeps things interesting. I’m also a former college grad that seems to get a little lost in the world. I’ve been a student for the majority of my whole life, and I’m finally starting a new chapter. To be honest college was not a breeze for me. It took over 4 years for me to graduate, and it took over two years before I received my masters. It feels so weird not referring to myself as a student anymore. Now I’m starting a new chapter in life and so far, I’m having a hard time with turning my metaphorical page. I started this blog because I know there are others like me, and I want to let them know that they’re not alone. It’s hard feeling lost at this age, but I am determined to make it. As the saying goes: “I just gotta make it!” Follow me on this journey and see where I finally land.
