repeat the sounding joy!

I figured now is just as good as any time to start a blog, something I've been meaning to do for awhile.  It is Christmas Eve, or technically it is Christmas Day as of an hour ago.  I find that the holidays always make me think a little bit more about my life.  Surrounded by family, not distracted by school-work, and bundled up indoors - all of that makes me go a little crazy after a day or two.  There is something about Christmas that makes me endlessly reflective and joyful.  Which I love.  I find celebrating the end of the year to be completely therapeutic; without the reflection I think moving on to the new year would be much more difficult.

So in that spirit, I wanted to briefly introduce myself and get started on this blog once and for all:


On paper: I am Molly, a 20-year-old college student.  I go to Villanova University, right outside of Philadelphia.  I am a communication student, currently concentrating on media studies and minoring in Peace & Justice Studies.  I also work and have a show at our university radio station.


Beyond that: I love music and discovering a new favorite song.  I am a media junkie.  I love photography and experimenting with my many cameras.  What I want to do with my life changes every day, but I have some ideas.  I am a romantic, and I can't help but think about my life like a movie - sometimes this can be fun, sometimes it's distracting.

I'm not quite sure where I'll be going with this, but the plan is to write about music, film, art, culture, with some life adventures thrown in. I'll be giving you my perspective on it all but I would love to hear what you think too - I dubbed this blog (thanks DCFC) "different names for the same thing" - I love comparing perspectives.  For now, go bundle up and watch your favorite holiday movie. I'll be writing again soon!
