The Background Info

My name is Julia, and I'm a 21 year old graduate USC. I've grown up in Southern California, went to school in LA, and am on to my next adventure!

I like the beach, my family, my friends, my boyfriend, eating, being active, being lazy, and being a Trojan. I have a weird interest in notebooks and office supplies, all things Russian, and Arrested Development. I also love Harry Potter, but am finally accepting the End of the Era. I love to read, but don't do it enough. After studying abroad in Prague for four months, all I want to do is travel every where else in the world.

I'm a generally pretty cheerful person, but I can stress over the details. My favorite season is summer, and I like to think that the season is a description of my personality.

I started this blog when I was 18 to create a healthy living blog that recorded my workouts and the food I eat. I have blog posts from 2011 that I really love, and it's fun to see myself how I worked out, what I ate, my trip to Hawaii (my favorite), and the random things I did throughout the summer.

I ended up finding that once I got to school, taking pictures of my food became very embarrassing and annoying. I went from avidly blogging to having no interest in it at all--a broken camera didn't help the situation either. After randomly reading through some of my Hawaii posts a few months ago, I realized how happy I was to have a journal of everything I did, saw, ate, and thought. While some of it seems a little ridiculous, I decided that I would make a conscious effort to start documenting some of the details of my life.

So here's to continuing my own personal little journal! Hopefully it will still maintain a little focus on working out and the little things as well as the big ones.

Oh, and I love all things watermelon.
