The best time to introduce yourself is at the start of something new!

Introducing Me
Pintrest

Writing is what has always helped me through obstacles in my life. This will be the first time sharing my personal experiences online. I plan to cover many topics on a large variety of subjects. Feel free to ask any questions and give me feedback on my writing!

For starters, I am not your average university sophomore. This is common for many to say, but most people currently living in North Dakota were not born into a missionary family.

I was born in Hatyai, Thailand, in the Prince of Songkla University Hospital. My father was a University Professor teaching Thai medical students in Thai as well as assisting the Christian church in town. My mother taught at a local elementary school and also helped at the church.

Ever since childhood, I have lived in three Asian countries and over six states in the U.S. As of now I am a student at the University of Jamestown in North Dakota. A common question is “How did you get here?” Well, that is a complicated answer which I will answer throughout my articles.

My religious background is with the Church of the Nazarene but my personal beliefs are often different than the people in my church, which is why I normally choose to attend non-denominational churches. I am a follower of Christ and that is what really matters to me. Life is never easy but I can share my experiences and learn from others.

There are so many things that I am interested in including: photography, art, music, early childhood education, elementary education, missionary work, and more. In the future I will be writing more in depth articles about many of these subjects.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
