I’ve been staring at this blank screen for ages, and I’m not quite sure how I want this to begin. I’m also running out of time to come up with something for my first post, so I’m really gripping the roots of my hair here to think of an introduction. <\/p>\n
I suppose the best way to start off would be with the basics. My name is Lauren Stamps, and I’m a sixteen-year-old junior literary student at the Mississippi School of the Arts. I enjoy writing, playing games, watching shows and movies ( \u0336m\u0336o\u0336s\u0336t\u0336l\u0336y\u0336 \u0336a\u0336n\u0336i\u0336m\u0336e\u0336), doing arts and crafts, and analyzing media and human culture. As for my plans for the future, I’m not sure. I’d obviously enjoy being a professional fiction writer, but that’s probably unlikely to happen. I’m still figuring out what I want to do, but being a journalist, an English\/creative writing teacher, or having a research career in Anthropology or Psychology would be nice. I’m going with a ‘go with the flow’ attitude, hoping that future me will go on a sort of soul-searching journey in life and figure out what she wants to spend the rest of it doing. I understand that I will one day be <\/em>that girl and will have to make these tough decisions myself, but that’s not my problem yet,<\/em> you get me? <\/p>\n Enough about writing about things that give me anxiety; let me get straight to the point. What am I planning to do with this blog?<\/p>\n In short: I’m not entirely sure. I’ll probably just come on here to write about what I enjoy or talk about things I feel like need to be talked about. I have some ideas to write about cringe culture, the beauty industry, movies I like, and a few other possibilities here and there. Maybe I’ll even post a bit of my literary work if I’m confident enough in it. Essentially what you’d expect from a blog like this from a person like me, really. I hope whatever comes out of this is pleasant or entertaining, or, at the very least, better than this first entry. Preferably with actual structure, too, but we’ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been staring at this blank screen for ages, and I’m not quite sure how I want this to begin.
