I started my blog back in college for several reasons. One was to document everything happening in my life (like a diary for the world to see). Another was because I am a very creative person and love writing for fun. But a big reason, and one that inspires everything I do is to help the next person.

Life works in funny ways. Nearly four years after posting “Adjusting to Life Post-Grad” I get a notification that someone did a pingback and was interested to see that was all about. Turns out, a current college senior writes about how my blog post is helping her craft future posts and helped her feel that she is not alone in the anxiety she is experiencing about the unknown afte graduation. When we share our insecurities we find out we are not alone!

The author writes “I found a blog from a girl named Lauren who explained how she managed navigating the adjustment. More than just the content within her post, I wanted to analyze the way she conveyed her message and how to better my blog on similar topics in the future. She began by asking a question that validates the emotions by people in the situation she’s writing about. Which brings reader’s in and allows them to know they aren’t the only ones that are feeling the anxiety of leaving college.”
