Get to know Caitlin!

Hello there,

I’m in my twenties, and I thought by now my life would be set. I had a picture in my head of graduating, opening doors, everything falling into place. I just didn’t think I’d have to struggle. I thought I would soar. Yet somehow, it turned into the complete opposite.

Four years later, I feel like I haven’t moved. I’m still standing in the same place, with no clear direction about what I want. I have no real plan, just a lot of questions I don’t know the answers to.

Where did I go wrong? And how can I fix it?

This space is for me to figure that out. It isn’t perfect. It isn’t structured. It’s just pure honesty. It’s a mix of memories, mistakes, regrets, pressure, and everything in between. The kind of things I don’t usually say out loud to people. I guess you can call it a diary. I’m just trying to understand myself, fix what I can, and face the future head-on.

This blog is a raw, diary-style collection of stories from my time in college, the pressure, the failures, the good, and the bad. It’s about trying to find myself. Some entries are emotional, others are chaotic. If you are scared or unsure in your twenties, maybe you’ll find a piece of yourself in these pages.

The College experience I wasn’t prepared for


Come with me as I look back on my college experience, including what I expected, the struggles, and the highs and lows of being a young adult. 

COLLEGE LIFE

Because apparently, I needed more problems

A small collection of random injuries I picked up during college. They’re funny to me now, but at the time, they honestly sucked. I thought I wasn’t going to get over most of them. But here I am! Stronger than ever. 

OUCH

Do-over

The lowest point in my college life came when my GPA dropped, my confidence disappeared, and the pressure consumed me. I felt like I was running out of time, doubting myself, and trying really hard to prove myself. These entries capture my fear of myself and of others’ expectations. 

HERE WE GO AGAIN!
