...... It's fourth week??

I say that both with disbelief and with exhaustion. Everyone I’ve talked to is already low on motivation, and there’s only twelve weeks left to go.

Which… doesn’t bode well for the rest of the semester.

But anyways. I feel obligated to make some kind of introductory post, so here it goes.

I’m Caitlin! I’m a second year, but I transferred to Fullerton College this year by way of UC San Diego. Which, as far as decisions go, I have absolutely no regrets, but I seriously miss lecture halls. I’m (tentatively) an anthro major and I intend to go into urban planning, but I’m probably going to end up teaching history. I can just feel it. I’m into a lot of things-- I listen to a lot of music and read whenever I can, and I like writing stories and songs, and playing different instruments. Lately I’ve been really into bass, which I’ve decided is probably for the best because most bassists kind of just stand around the stage while everyone else rocks out. I love movies and TV shows as well, and I’m starting to get back into video games thanks to Mass Effect. I also love analyzing them within a ~sociocultural context. I recently moved into my first apartment and it’s terrifying. It’s also amazing.

I realize I make it sound like I do a lot, but most of my time is actually spent working, sleeping, or gradually making my way through homework, and when I’m not doing that, I try to go to as many concerts and plays as I can. And when I’m not doing that, I’m either in a state of intense emotional turmoil over the final episodes of Breaking Bad or enjoying the benefits of living alone (which typically involves ignoring responsibilities, personal hygiene, and any form of social life in favor of Mass Effect).

I have no idea what the majority of my posts will be about-- probably some tie of pop culture with school-- but I’ll try my best to be interesting. Or at least relatable. Which usually begets interest, so either way I win.

Stay classy,

Caitlin Kelly
