Hi everybody. My name is Lauren and, if you read the description on the website, you'd know I'm starting a blog because I'm bored in quarantine. I've been in quarantine for almost a month now, and it's been absolutely crazy. Let's just say I've had a pretty unique experience.
I guess I'll just start off by thanking everyone for actually taking the time to come on here and read the stuff I'm writing. This first post isn't going to be much content wise, just a few quick things about me and what I'm doing.
So, I was not a fan of school closing down from the very beginning. Quickly, I realized how much I depend on genuine human contact. Having that away has been pretty hard, but I've been getting a lot closer to my family. I know I'm not the only one feeling lonely surrounded by technology, so I thought I'd change all of that. Starting a blog, I hope, will not only make me feel like I'm still connected to some form of society, but also bring some joy into other people's lives.
I don't really know my main purpose for starting a blog. It'll probably be a mix of everything. I'm reading a bunch of plays, so I might do some reviews on them. Movie reviews will probably happen too (Inception is the first movie on my watch list). I'll talk about my life and my feelings a lot too, and share some ways I've been occupying myself.
One thing I need to make clear. This is going to be a fun, open community. Feel free to post a comment, send a message, anything! I'm just as bored as you probably are, so I would love to chat with you. That being said, I don't want anything mean or hurtful being said anywhere on this site. Messages of that nature will be deleted and ignored.
If you have any recommendations about ANYTHING, send them over. Please! I love trying new things so I'll be more than happy to watch, read, or listen to something you recommend.
I'm not sure how this thing is all going to work out, blog wise, but I hope it works out well. The world could use some good news right now, even if it's as small as a random teen's blog.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy yourselves and have a wonderful time. Both here, on the site, and in real life too. Please, though, don't spend all of your time on your laptop. Virtual school has been working well for me, but I hate staring at my computer for hours.
Peace out lovely humans! -Lauren
