Introduction

Welcome To The Blog

Greetings to anyone who has stumbled across this blog. As an avid writer on sites like Figment, English class and my journal, I have decided that perhaps I should start a blog. After all, blogs are 'the cool thing to do nowadays' right? And what better what to display all of thoughts than to post it on the web for all to see? 

Anyways, there is really no purpose to this blog. No strong thoughts that I need to get out or anything like that, I just wanted to write. I called this blog "figmentlife" because, as I pointed out before, I am an avid writer on Figment.com. For anyone who doesn't have an account on that site I would strongly recommend it. However, figment is more about posting fiction/fantasy stories than blogging, which brings me here. 

A Little About Me

I am a seventeen year old girl from Alberta, Canada, and I am trying to keep my life on track. I love to read and write, I play basketball and the piano. I also love to debate. Call me weird if you will, but I get a certain satisfaction when I can prove my point to other people. I am very strongly opinionated about certain topics, and I'm also outgoing enough to argue with anyone who decides to try to stand up against me.

I want to pursue a career in politics or sociology. I love the idea of politics, and I love the idea of making a difference. I've had many people tell me that 'politics is boring' or 'your life is going to suck' but it doesn't bother me all that much. To each their own. 

My Posts

In conclusion, this blog will basically just be an overview of my life. I hope to write in it at least once a week, and just explain some of my thoughts and issues, as well as my achievements and goals. This blog is more for me than anyone else, but if you happen to stumble across it, I hope that you will enjoy reading it.
