The End of an Era

I have always been a fan of blogging, but now I am going to attempt to keep one (successfully) myself. At this point in my life, it is a Sunday and I am sitting in my completely destroyed apartment attempting to pack up my entire Florida life into a Penske truck. Come Thursday, I will be leaving the land of palm trees and sunshine for the rolling hills and country music state of Tennessee. Normally you hear about people moving from all over the country to Florida and describe it as the best state ..... well I am ready to say Goodbye to the state that has housed me for 22 years and excited about the new adventures that Tennessee will bring me. 

I am moving to Murfreesboro, TN mainly for graduate school at Middle Tennessee State University. I will be working on my Masters of Science degree in Mass Communications. The greatest thing about where I am moving is just the endless amount of opportunities that I will have living so close to the capital. Nashville has a large array of non-profits, commercial tourism, and of course professional sports; all in which I would love to gain experience in on my path to becoming a Special Events Director. 

Living in Tallahassee for the past 5 years has taught me so much: how to drink immense amounts of alcohol, how to love a football team more than your own family, and to grow up and find a place that fits you but just don't forget where you came from. I loved living in Tallahassee, it completely made me the person I am today. But I have hit the wall of growth here and it's time to move on and make a new name for myself. I have been blessed with so many amazing experiences, a wonderful job for all 5 years, and the ability to legitimately "bleed" garnet and gold. 

This blog is going to act as a memoir of my new adventure in Tennessee. It will illustrate my life changing moments and my struggles. I know it won't be the easiest transition: a puerto-rican/italian female from Miami - then a Florida State Seminole in Tallahassee- to now a Tennessean, but I am excited for what God and the world has to offer. My journey officially starts Thursday, July 28th.... it should be a WILD ride <3
