So I know I can be quite the sporadic poster – one week I’ll be posting every single day, the next I’ll post maybe once and it’ll just be for a link up. Fail. I’m really trying to curb this habit, believe me, but when you’re a twenty-something who’s just moved to New York City, it can be a little difficult. Enough with the excuses though, it’s a new month and a new start.
May always seems to be a big exciting month of endings and new beginnings. What does that mean exactly? It means that May is (usually) filled with the end of classes, graduations, the start of summer, etc. In my case, it consists of me flying back to Florida to graduate, then going right back up to New York where I’m going to be moving (again) into a new apartment, and starting at least one new part-time job while still job hunting for the right day job. Basically, real life is going to be craaaazy BUT it’s also going to provide plenty for me to blog about! I’ve always prided myself on my time management skills, and this month I’m going to put those skills to the test!
I am challenging myself for the entirety of May to write one blog post AND post one photo on Instagram EACH day (I’m also going to try to churn out at least two Youtube videos a week, but that’s another post haha). I am going to using the following prompts each day from Story of My Life and Fat Mum Slim. And don’t worry, I’ll still have other regular posts and photos as well!
Day 1, Wednesday: The story of your life in 250 words or less (or one paragraph… no one will be counting your words… probably)
Day 2, Thursday:Educate us on something you know alot about or are good at. Take any approach you’d like (serious and educational or funny and sarcastic)
Day 3, Friday: Things that make you uncomfortable
Day 4, Saturday: Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it
Day 5, Sunday: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends. What makes them great? Why do you love them? If you don’t have blogger friends, talk about a real-life friend or even a family member
Day 6, Monday:If you couldn’t answer with your job, how would you answer the question, ‘what do you do’?
Day 7, Tuesday:The thing(s) you’re most afraid of

Day 11, Saturday: Sell yourself in 10 words or less
Day 12, Sunday: What do you miss? (a person, a thing, a place, a time of your life…)

Day 24, Friday: Your top 3 worst traits
