My name is Julia, I'm 21 years old and I'm a part-time student at Delaware County Community College. I graduated high school in 2016 and I've taken some time off before starting my college career. I love watching movies, eating food, and I'm currently serving as a waitress at an Applebee's. I can also be very awkward. I love my pets, so I will probably blog about that often.
I adore Harry Potter, so of course JK Rowling is one of my favorite authors. She was able to make a masterpiece that talks about love, loss, war, and so much more. I also enjoy Alice Sebold, she's the author of The Lovely Bones, and I absolutely loved her style, so I've been reading some of her other novels and they're great! I would like to write more, I do have a journal at home that I tend to write in. I go through phases where I'll write almost everyday or I won't touch it for months. If I'm really happy or upset, I'll put what I'm feeling or thinking in my journal. I would like for it to be a daily thing though, I am happy it's where I go when I'm feeling emotional but I would like for it to be habitual. I would say 99% of my time writing would be in my bedroom. It's private and I can write as quickly or messy as I want without judgement. I'll also do some writing and book work in between classes at school but for the most part, I'm in my room. I write to try and get my thoughts out. Writing out what I think helps me feel relieved and a bit more clear-minded. I don't publish my work but it's nice to think that maybe someone else out there understands how I'm feeling and can relate. Writing has a way of doing that, when I read and I can really relate to the point the author was trying to make, it makes me feel a sense of togetherness and I suppose that's what I strive for. I've always been shy and nervous about writing in classes. My teachers before have always just graded my paper and moved on to the next assignment, they never really took the time to answer my questions on how I can be a better writer. I have a feeling though that this class might break me out of my shell and tap into this brilliant writer I never knew I could be.
