Allow me to introduce myself.

Hi, I'm Kara, this is my first semester at Bloomsburg because I just transferred here! I commute from Laporte, and for anyone who doesn't know where that is, it's in the woods and very, very rural. There isn't much to do there right now, but in the summer it comes alive. There are two state parks in the county I live in and they are amazing to hike and the creeks are incredibly clear. I love being outside, and being active because of how transformative it is. Say you're having an awful day, you feel like a slug and you can't stop eating even though with every bite you take you hate yourself more and more, if you can pry yourself away from the couch for a second and go outside for a walk, no matter how short, at least you did something that day. Anyway, I've been super into watching what I eat (no preservatives, only fresh, raw produce, blah blah blah) and I'm realizing how satisfying it is to be able to cook well! It's seriously like some sort of magic. You take all of these random powders and animal products, mix and heat them, and before you know it you have a cupcake! (I still have a sweet tooth even though I try super hard to be fit.)
In conclusion, this has been slightly stressful and I hope only Dr. Francis reads this but I'm feeling hopeful about my future here at Bloom! Yay to constantly bettering yourself!

  1. I hope you are liking Bloomsburg so far since you just transferred here! I love being outside too, being active and staying fit. I wish I could eat the way you do, It definitely makes a healthier life style! Good for you. Sorry Dr. Francis wasn't the only one who read this.

  2. Where you live is my ideal place to live mostly because of the state parks. I have a Pocono house which has a lot of state parks and I enjoy atv'ing there.

  3. I like that you played with color. The picture was also a nicely personal addition.
