New Year . . . New Me??

Well here it is 2008! Excited? Somewhat. Confused? Very.

We always hear the line, "New Year, New You!"  Well it is a new year, but do I really need a new me?  I like me, I could use some improvements, but is a whole new me in order now that the calendar has turned?  I sure as hell hope not!

I guess it's time for some introductions, my name is Kayden Carlson, I'm a junior in college at a large, Southern university, I'm pre-law, sort of a nerd, but I have an active social life, and I live in a 4-girl room in my sorority house with 55 other 20-something sorostitutes (not a term I support, but one I feel entitled to use for fun), oh and I was just elected President of the sorority.

So here we are 2008, first day of the new year, I'm at home in Atlanta for Christmas break (bored out of my mind) and, sitting here on my parent's couch, watching the Florida v. Michigan bowl game, I've decided to start this blog.  Why? Because I like to write, I think I have a moderately interesting life, and oh, did I mention, I'm at home and bored!

As for the title, I'm not totally freaking out (yet) but the eve of my freak-out is quickly approaching and I've begun recognizing symptoms of a quarter-life crisis is in full force.  Even today, on the very first day of this new year, I'm filled with confusion and facing a slew of decisions and choices that I'm certain will have a major impact on the rest of my life!
