Introduction

Hi everyone! (At this point I really do have a healthy understanding of the fact that "everyone" means about 5 people.) For those of you who know me or for those of you who have been lucky enough to stumble upon my blog, my name is Cassie, and it is so lovely to meet you, too. Now, allow me to introduce myself.

Where are you from?
I was born and raised (and am a self-proclaimed lifer) in the smallest state in the country. To clear up a few rumors about the great state of Rhode Island: it is neither a road nor an island, you can, in fact, get to our state by car, and yes, it is its very own state...not part of New York. I absolutely love everything about Rhode Island, minus the corrupt government, high unemployment rate, and some of the worst roads in the country. All kidding aside, I truly love where I'm from and am a true Rhode Islander in every sense of the word (ie: packing a lunch and a change of clothes to drive 45 minutes to the southern part of the state...what if my car breaks down? What if we get a freak snow storm in July? If I don't make it back, tell my parents I love them...) I live for the summers; the sunshine, the beaches, and exploring downtown Providence. I love it all.

Tell me a little more about yourself?

I am 24 years old and a proud graduate of Bryant University's Class of 2009 where I majored in Communication, concentrated in Public Relations, and double minored in Marketing and Business Administration. Apparently I liked my experience so much, that I decided to work at Bryant after graduation in the Office of Admission. Yes, you read that right, I really do spend my days trying to understand the thought and decision making processes of 17 and 18 year olds...please leave your jealousy at the door! I also just recently enrolled in a program at Bryant to get my Human Resource Management Certificate. I love to learn and if I could find an honest way to afford to be a student for my entire life, I would. Sadly, that is not the way the world works, and with no plans to marry Donald Trump, royalty, or anyone else who will let me choose "student" as a career, it looks like sticking with higher education is the way to go.

What are your interests and hobbies?

In my free time when I am not taking classes or deciding the futures for hundreds and hundreds of students, I really enjoy/am obsessed with reading, singing with the Carillon Women's Chorus, spending time with the man who makes me the happiest woman in the world [ hi, Sean :) ], indulging in wine, board games, and laughter with friends, spending time with family, and just being a generally happy person. I love to travel, try new foods and restaurants, go camping and really enjoy everything life has to offer. I am always open to new ideas and trying new things.

What should I expect from your blog in the future?

Perhaps meeting my family and friends (looks like we got serious fast), more indepth entries about my interests, recipies, book reviews, and really anything that strikes my fancy on a daily basis.

Why did you decide to start a blog?

Because whenever my mom asked me the old "jumping off a bridge to follow your friends" cliche, I answered a loud YES. Everyone is doing it, so why not me?

All kidding aside, I am starting to realize that I truly am in one of the best places I have ever been in my life, and I am at the age where embracing my experiences and documenting my memories is very important to me. I really look forward to sharing this journey with you, I hope you enjoy it too :)

Lots of Love (or LOL as my aunt seems to think "LOL" stands for),
Cassie
