Fear of missing out. Have you ever experienced it? I’ve discovered that during my last months, I want to be involved in everything. I want to try drinks and food I haven’t had before. I want to break a few rules and try to push the boundaries. I don’t want to miss out anything. I’m suddenly doing things I never would have considered doing before. This both excites and scares me. Recently I tried something that I really regret and I am never going to do again but I’m happy with the experience. It gives me something to think back on in the later future and something to tell my grandkids later on while their mom/dad are out.

It also helps me realize that everything is worth it. Sometimes what everyone is doing isn’t what I should do. This also applies to College me. I’m the kind of person who is going to check out all the clubs (school ones), activities, teams, societies, bars and clubs (not the school ones). I’m going to have to keep telling myself “Chill, you don’t need to rush into everything. Take your time.” Every time I rush into something I end up with lots of regrets be it rushing into relationships, activities or committing to things. But no more!!!! I’m going to be a new person (Like we haven’t heard this before). I’m going to plan ahead and give my work priority (If only). I’m not going to go to every party even though the cute guy I like is going to be there (Hopefully he makes the same decision). I will save up my money and prioritize (LOL I’m going to need all the help I can get). 

There is this new channel that Markiplier and Ethan are doing right now. It’s called Unus Annus. It lasts only a year and then everything will be deleted. It reminds me that I don’t have as much time as I thought I did. Time goes by very quickly. They post a new video everyday. You should check it out.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
