The Inaugural Post

The first sentence of a blog you're hoping to keep for a long time is always such a momentous thing.

And so now that that's all said and done, let's get started. ;-)

SO. Why another blog? I already have more than I can keep track of! Well, as with many blogs, the creation of this blog coincides (somewhat) with a transition in my life... and as such, I decided to start this blog because I am starting a new part of my life.

A little over a month ago, I got my first full-time, 9-to-5 job. And since then, I've been working that job. Thus begins the rest of my life. I'm done college, I'm done grad school, I'm done adventuring with AmeriCorps... now it's time to settle down and start being an adult.

Haha okay I am going to be perfectly honest and say that while that is at least part of my motivation for starting this blog, I have absolutely no intention of living a life that is as BORING or as MONOTONOUS as that previous paragraph led me (and probably you) to believe. Please. I don't currently live that way, and I don't intend to EVER live that way. Life is so much more than that. It's a constant adventure, and I am looking to keep it that way.

The title of this blog, "Go Explore Life," really captures a lot of what I am hoping this blog will convey. I want this blog to chronicle my life after the "exciting" times in AmeriCorps, Colorado, college, etc. This blog will chronicle my newly-normal life. Yeah, kind of weird, but given the fact I've spent the past seven years experiencing the excitement of college, the mountain high of Colorado, and the adventures of service in AmeriCorps, working a 9-to-5 job in Baltimore is really the most ordinary thing I've done in quite a while.

Now, I want to stress that while this blog is going to be an "everyday" blog for me, everyday does not mean boring. The way I see it, I fully and completely intend to make life as exciting and incredible as possible. And that means that this everyday blog is going to be a blog of every awesome, incredible, sensational day of my life... at least, until I don't feel like blogging about it anymore.

Let's get this adventure started!!
