Here goes nothing

I've wanted to start a blog for a while, and I've decided there's no better time than now. I know it sounds cliche, but to me, there's something so promising about the fresh start of a new year. I like to take this time to reflect on the past year, cherish the memories I've made, learn from my mistakes, and then vow to do my best to make the coming year the best it can be. I'm looking forward to 2012 and everything it has to offer.

It's my goal that this blog becomes the first New Year's resolution that I actually stick with (unlike the ones I make every year, which never seem to last longer than a week or two, i.e. drink more water, put my gym membership to good use, be on time).

I'll be blogging about my life and things I like — books, movies, clothes, other blogs, the highs and lows of being a grad student, my plans to travel more this year, and more — in hopes that you will find them interesting, too. And if you don't, #sorrynotsorry. 

Here goes nothing...
