Things happen for a reason...?

Another reason I was nervous about keeping a (semi)public blog is that I am not 100% in love with Raleigh. I am a really prideful person, and I only like to show the best of me to people. I don't want everyone to know that if I am miserable here.

People always say that things happen for a reason, god has a plan for you, and everything will be ok at the end. I don't necessary believe that. Sometimes our decisions and choices are the reason behind what is happening to us. We have to live with the consequences and sometimes missed opportunities are forever gone. The next best thing would be to learn our lesson and hope to never make the same mistake again.

With that said, I still believe that I will find beauty in Raleigh. I might not fall in love with it the same way I love DTLA and Westwood, but I am sure it will become part of me as I will become part of Raleigh.

haha, yes I have a picture of myself on my wall of inspirations. It serves as a reminder that I can achieve! (or maybe I am conceited...)

It's me, J Lo.

I've always enjoy reading people's blog. You learn so many things about the person you normally would not have the chance to notice. I tried blogging a few times before, but I never stick with it because I could never piece words together as eloquently as I would like. (please bear with me) So when Eliza told me that I should start a blog, I was a bit nervous. BUT I gave in once I read the part about taking as many picture of myself as I would like! Don't you guys worry, it's not just going to be pictures of me. I need to find my personal photographer first! ;)

Anyways, here is my first post documenting my grad student life in NCSU!

Somehow, first always seem so important in ones life. First kiss, first day of class, first car, first job... Aren't seconds just as important as the first ones? Every single moment should be treasured. Every blog entry is just as important (unimportant) as this one. Hence I am not going to make a great deal that this is the first entry. The main reason though is that I have to go get ready... Apparently party starts at 7 and ends at 11 here.... #WhenInRaleigh

So until next time!

Love and miss you all
