Yet another foray into the world of blogging

First blog posts suck. I guess I'm probably supposed to write about what this blog is about, and the emotional journey that I'm about to go on, or introduce myself, or be entertaining or something. Summing things up, however, is NOT my strong point. But here goes. My name is Alicia. I am a 22 year old woman going to BYU. I have depression, am, according to my BMI morbidly obese (I'm not actually. I'm just a little obese) and I have goals and plans in life, much like anyone else. This summer, I want to work on some of those goals and plans, since I'm not taking classes or even working a standard job. This blog is going to document that journey.

I don't know who I'll share this blog with. Maybe one person, maybe the entire world. But I figured that this would be a good way for me to be accountable to my goals (see inspiring quote above). Something about me, however, is that I love making goals, and I want to accomplish them ALL AT ONCE. So, I've decided that I'm going to work on one major goal a week. There will be other goals I will try to accomplish, because, I mean, I've got a lot of time on my hands. But I'll only focus on one at a time. 

So, without further ado, welcome to my journey! [Insert exciting confetti effects here]
