An introduction to my maddeningly mundane life

Somehow, someway you've stumbled upon the blogspot of Cassandra Jean Somebody. Call me Cassie.

It's pretty hard to write a summary about yourself, which is one of the multiple reasons I am unprepared for applying to colleges. Simply put, you'll find out a lot about me, if I faithfully blog like I intend to. There are a lot of things in my life that many people experience: awesome friends, heartbreak, a boy, books that change the way you think, good songs you play over and over again because they describe exactly how you feel.

It's this last that is most important. Every post I'll add a song to what will be the 'Soundtrack of My Life.' Music is most important to me, second only to maybe writing...and that really depends on my mood. Writing is also important to me, hence why I blog. I love to improve, and I am a firm believer of Practice Makes Perfect.

An explanation for this blog is that a) I've gone through a lot during my sixteen years of life, and b) I believe that everything happens for a reason, so I'm ridiculously optimistic, sometimes sadly optimistic. It took forever to set up this blog, because I couldn't think of something that describes me and my life. Finall, Tunnel Vision Ramblings popped into my head, as in light at the end of the tunnel. Or maybe it's lights throughout the tunnel - nothing good lasts, and nothing bad lasts. There are alternating periods of light and dark in my life, and sometimes they coincide, and sometimes it really depends on the day to determine how I'm doing.

Shortly put, Tunnel Vision Ramblings is appropriate, because I ramble, as you've no doubt noticed, and because I'm pretty good at looking forward, even though I sneak backward glances every now and then. Frequently, actually.

So this is me, basically. This is my life. You're going to learn quite a bit about it reading this. I'll tell you maybe short little anecdotes of my mundane life, or maybe I'll go into detail about something that happened to me and takes me many words to fully describe and give it some sort of semblance of justice. Buckle up and get ready. Just keep in mind: I'm a sixteen-year-old girl, equipped with nothing but great friends, a funky but awesome family, and tunnel vision that cannot be denied.

Thanks for reading.
