300th Post.

300.
300 posts! Can you even believe it?

It's so funny for me to look back to when I first started this blog. I was in an entirely different place in life, had a completely different writing style, and only one follower for about a year. I started this blog for the sole reason that I needed an outlet for myself. I was going through a tough time at school in Kansas, we were right in the middle of a heated presidential election, and I was pretty much using it to rant and vent all the time. I suppose it was like a make-shift best friend for a while until I realized how much I actually liked writing in it. It sort of helped me discover this untapped passion of mine and I just took off with it. Sometimes, when I look back at older posts I wonder why in the world I wrote those things or why my punctuation was so bad, or why I put certain things out there when there was a very good possibility the person I was ranting about would someday be able to read it. But I have no regrets. This little blog of mine has grown into something I am quite proud of and it really, really warms my heart when people take the time to read it.

300 posts ago I was a different person, going through different things, facing different challenges, and not really knowing which way to go. But this journey through my college years has been quite the roller coaster so far, and I love that this blog has been a constant for me through it all. I wonder where I will be when I hit 400 posts. Probably at a completely new stage, maybe done with college and onto the next chapter. But wherever I may be, I'll love having this to look back on to keep myself grounded. At 300, I'm here, sitting on my bed in my apartment in Boulder, thinking about summer internships and where I'll go after I graduate in December. The Chelsea of 300 is content with her choices and has every reason to be optimistic about the future.

So again, thank you for reading this little blog of mine and making me overly excited to reach this milestone. If you're reading this, you are loved.
