Blog Decisions

When I decided to start this blog, I didn't know exactly how I wanted to write it, or what  I wanted to get out of it.  I didn't know if I wanted to be an anonymous writer or not.  I didn't know what style I wanted to write with or if  I would have several styles.  All I really knew was that I wanted to start a blog.  I started the blog, and have made some decisions about what I want from it, and what I want you to get from it.  First I have decided not to be an anonymous writer.
With that being said,  My name is Shelby Olsen.  I am from Canton, Michigan (Detroit area) and I love to read, write, and run.  I have lived in Michigan all my life, until becoming a BYU student. I am currently in my second semester at BYU.  I am staying spring semester.  My major is English, and I plan to minor in editing, but I still need to declare it as my minor.  I live in Helaman  Halls, and I am sick of the Cannon Center.  In spring I will be living in Elite and will be able to cook whatever I want.  No more fruit sauce on my meat (something the Cannon Center is very fond of).  Anything else you want to know about me, or have I said too much?

This is me!

I have also decided that I want it to be clear why I am writing this blog.  This isn't a blog that is about me and how awesome my life is.  This blog is meant to be about you and how awesome your life is.  I want to write about my life to demonstrate that there is always fun to be had, and that it is important to make the most of life.  I am going to try and post a weekly update of things that are going on at BYU so that you are aware of all the fun things going on.  I want this blog to be similar to a college survival guide.  But I still want it to remind alumni of BYU how much fun they had here, and for those not here yet how much fun it will be for them.
