Let’s Try This Again

Well, my first attempt at blogging went miserably. I made 3 posts and abandoned my blog. Hopefully I can stick with this a bit more and actually make something of it. I am not a very great writer, nor am I very succinct, so my life is filled with statements that I give up on because I cannot reach my point; sort of like what happened to this blog. But I am going to try again.

I have no photo to post for today because I am mentally and physically exhausted after studying and taking 2 exams today. Today was definitely not a day that I enjoyed. I do not feel like I did as well as I wold have liked on my exams and on top of that there was another mass shooting, this time about 4-5 hours south of where I live at a community college. It was very difficult to focus on my studies today, knowing that at least 10 people died and 20 others were injured while attending class. Those students that died will never get to accomplish what they were actually at school for and I find that extremely unsettling. With all of the debate about gun control and the so-called war on Christianity that were revisited today, I truly hope that things will begin to change (mainly about gun control; the whole “war on Christianity” thing on the other hand… no comment). How many more people need to die in order for our country to wake up, get our shit together, and work together on this topic to make something happen?

Happy New Year!

It is around 11:15 am here on the first day of 2015 and I just wanted to say Happy New Year! I rang in the new year with my friend Serengeti, her family, and a bottle of moscato. Other than that, it was a fairly uneventful night, and that is totally fine with me. I woke up this morning to bright sunlight in my face and a slobbery kiss from their dog, Koko. I hope that is a sign for a very awesome new year. I currently have no photos from New Year’s Eve, so I figured a family photo from Christmas would suffice. This holiday season has been so amazing and I am so thankful that I have an amazing family, a job, wonderful friends, and I am attending one of my dream schools. Well, I am going to sign off now so I can fully recover from the events of last night and prepare for the Rose Bowl today (GO DUCKS). I wish you all nothing but the best for this year and the years to come.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something. -Neil Gaiman

Trial Run

Well, here goes nothing… my first blog post. I’m not exactly sure what this will turn into, or if anything will even come of my blogging, but I thought that it could be exciting and give me something to do when I am procrastinating on my homework.

My hope is to talk blog about exciting things that won’t bore people to death. Right now I’m a first-year student at Linfield College in the beautiful town of McMinnville, Oregon. The first semester is winding down, and I’m looking forward to some snow, adventure, and spending some quality time with my family and friends. Eventually, I hope to write about my travels and my experiences in life to possibly help others in anyway that I can. There’s much of the world that I haven’t seen, but when I get there, I will let you know.

Like the title of my blog, I am really looking to discover myself; I am Looking for Morgan.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart. -Confucius
