The Beginning

So today begins my blogging adventure.  I never considered writing a blog before, feeling it was somewhat impractical.  However, now I am a freshmen in college who is currently considering becoming an English major.  Blogging allows me not only to exercise my writing ability but also to document such an important time in my life.  So this seems like a win-win situation.  I am however met with one major obstacle that may delay my actual writing.  What to write.  All through grade school and even now, when asked to simply write something down in a journal or something similar I always struggle.  My mind wanders all day, from deep intellectual issues, such as the existence of God to some shallow insignificant thought like why can one have a single pair of pants but cannot have a single pair of shirts?  And yet as my mind flutters from one thing to another, when asked to write I go black.  Which would seem to be somewhat of a problem if I want to make writing my career but I digress.  I’ve sat and thought of all the possibilities I have.  I have considered using a quote per day and writing my reaction.  Or a word a day, in which I would try and use it as often throughout my day as I could.  Short stories, rambling.  Even the most obvious of diary-like entries, but I find that to not only me cliche and a tad boring but ultimately not what I want to do.  So I am left with the ever lingering question of “What to write”.  Hopefully my answer comes to me quickly or this daydream of mine could be short lived.
