what this blog will probably be about (until i change my mind)

Every project of mine that actually succeeds starts with a plan. And, while I’ve been exceedingly excited about starting a blog for a while now, it’s time I finally organize my intentions for this whole thing.

To be transparent, I already write a lot. I keep a journal, write for my college newspaper, and am a philosophy major. I promise I know how to use words.

That being said, the inspiration for this blog wasn’t just to create a digital journal or a portfolio of academic essays—it was something in between.

A place where long, in-depth movie reviews can live alongside quick rants about things like my college town (and how it is not pedestrian or student-budget-friendly). I want to encourage myself to read more books, watch more movies, and honestly, think more deeply about what I consume. I really believe that having a public space to post about it will help.

Now, let’s talk frequency. Because while I know what I want to write about, these articles will only exist in my head if I don’t have some structure.

My goal for now, that I plan on working up to:

• around 2–3 short posts a week

• 1 full in-depth analysis (book or movie) every two weeks

Small posts can be about anything: mini-essays, nitpicks, random thoughts.. but they’ll be much quicker than the bigger cultural analyses.

Without an audience, there’s no real pressure for how this should look. For that, I’m grateful. The next few months will be an experiment. A way to workshop my writing, build consistency, and figure out what feels right. Bigger picture, my goal isn’t just to post; it’s to get better at writing. I’ll be overanalyzing everything for the foreseeable future, knowing that these words aren’t just in my Notes app anymore but part of my digital footprint. (Yikes.)

Feedback and comments are always welcome. But keep it sweet.

I hope you find something here that makes you think, feel less alone, or entertains you. Either way, thanks for making it through my first post. It wasn’t the easiest thing to write.. but here it is anyway.
