Currently, I am a female college student so I suppose that means I need to start a blog. People like me seems to be dominating the blog industry, with posts ranging from fashion trends, to traveling tips, to controversial political stances that lead to a mildly entertaining yet frightening comments section. So it would not be surprising to me if you went to this post with the expectation of reading something that’s been overly discussed, and written by someone who hasn’t got the slightest idea what she’s doing.
It is my great pleasure to inform you that you’re wrong – well partially at least. It is true that I don’t know what I’m doing, but my posts aren’t going to be unoriginal, probably. Alright, so maybe the jury is still out on whether or not this blog will be any good; that’ll be up to you to decide. But even if I turn out to be a complete failure at this, I’m going to keep going. Why’s that? Well….
Practice Makes Perfect
Oh look at that, the first blog’s already got a cliché, solid start. But the point is if I keep doing this there’s a possibility that it could actually become something great. If I stop, then it definitely won’t.
For Funsies
I like writing and I’ve already had a blast creating this post and coming up with other ideas. As long as I continue having fun blogging, I’m going to keep doing this. Everyone needs things to look forward to and for me, writing is one of those things.
Because I Am a Free American
Wow, a GIF of a beloved character saying something funny, how did that get there? The point is part of my reasoning for creating a blog, is because I can create a blog. As a free American, I have the liberty to do so.
What to Expect
Being the excessive planner that I am, I have already come up with several possible topics I want to write about and my scheduling plan for posts. I intend to post every week, on Saturdays. Every other post is going to be something faith-based (for those of you who don’t know, I am a Christian). This could be a great platform to help others in their faith and show those who are curious about Christianity what it means to have a relationship with God.
As for the remaining weeks, it will be a very diverse set of topics either about me or the things I’m interested in. From Harry Potter, to weird things I did as a child, to book recommendations, to anything else I think I’d enjoy writing about, it’ll be on this site. Odds are, you’ll find a topic on here you’ll enjoy reading about.
One Last Thing
We are getting to the end of my very first post (very sad, I know) but there’s one final thing I want to end with; where did I get the name Aud-Staud Blogs? ‘Aud-Staud’ was a nickname some of my friends gave me back in high school because it’s a mashup of my first name, Audrey, and my last name, Stearns. It has a nice ring to it, so I figured I might as well use it for this.
If you’re intrigued by this post and looking forward to what I’ll write about in the future, you can expect a new post every Saturday. Also, if you feel inclined, feel free to leave a comment below about what you think, or whether or not you believe this will be a success. Thanks for all your support and I hope you’ll come back next week. Stay Amazing!
