You've Got Mail...

So, there is a website that I found yesterday called moreloveletters.com, where their goal is to bring sunshine and love to those who need it. On MLL, I found a letter directed directly to college freshmen! This love letter to college freshmen was beyond words for me. It talks about all of the challenges and exciting parts of college life, from homesickness to long-distance friendships to embracing the college experience and opportunities. I hope, if you are going to college in the near future, that you take the time to read and appreciate this "love letter" and gain some helpful insight from it. For those of you who aren't in the college stage of life (whether way past it or still traveling towards that stage), please share this letter with someone who is in college or a friend who is away from home and needs some encouragement. Even though the letter is directed towards college students, there are many pieces of advice given in the letter that can be applied to any stage in life. So please, read, share, and enjoy your "love letter" :)

Welcome!

     Welcome to The Diva Dorm! I thought I would introduce myself first before I start posting about my life at Utah State University.
     First off, I am Kaitlin. I graduated this past June from high school!
1. I have a twin sister, Emmalee, who actually has her own college blog called A Cup of Ramen, so check it 
    out :)
2. No birthmark
3. My favorite color is SPARKLES (as might be obvious by this blog's background)
4. I hate wearing socks...and being touched by sock feet...and wearing close-toed shoes (except heels)
5. Lastly, I can speak in a "Stitch" voice (as in the show "Lilo and Stitch)
     Other than that, I'm not really sure what else to tell you. I'm addicted to romance novels, and my favorite TV shows are Downton Abbey, Rising Star, and any "Hallmark" Christmas romance special features :) I will be moving into my dorm at USU on my birthday and will be studying Marketing while I figure out exactly what I want to do for a career.
     Finally, I am soooo very excited to post about my experiences! Hopefully, by doing so, I can help others when it comes to moving into the college stage of life while I also learn from my experiences :) Thank you and Enjoy!
