Writing Suggestions, Updates, Etc.

Hello Everyone!

It has been forever since I have posted. My last post being part of a 30 day series I was trying to use to keep myself  from lapsing with my writing. We all see how well that worked. Seriously, Why is it so hard to keep up with my blog? Anyway, there have been some changes in my life, specifically my education. I was at Kutztown University studying History but I performed horribly there. I never showed up, and when I did, I didn’t participate or even do my work. I think it was a comfort thing. I wasn’t comfortable so I didn’t work. I’m not making excuses, I know it was me who messed that opportunity up and I take responsibility for it. However, had I not failed out of KU, I would never have transferred to Southern New Hampshire University Online. I wouldn’t have found the history program that allows me to take the classes I actually want and concentrate on the time periods I’m actually interested in.

On to my second order of business. Writing Suggestions! I want to hear what you guys long to read in blog posts, short stories, and books. Fandom theories, a story where you’re the main character, a story with an alter-ego? Things you want to read on the blog. Maybe a Friday series, or something that is daily. I want to keep some of the things that I worked on when I first started this blog, but I want to start fresh with some new ideas and such. Therefore I will be taking some time to gather ideas, complete some posts and get the vision for this blog together. Then I will be back full force and blogging on the regular, hopefully.

Until then, I want as many suggestions as possible. You can comment them or send them to the email for this blog; theorganizedhistorymajor@gmail.com I look forward to seeing your comments and suggestions and I appreciate them so very much.

30 Days of Blogging Day 3 & 4

Hey everyone!

I know i missed posting yesterday. Hence why I will be posting two days at once.

Day 3: Your Favorite Quote

One of my favorite quotes has to be from the Harry Potter series. It is as follows.

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

~~ Albus Dumbledore

This quote has helped me keep my head up through tough times when I probably would have given up otherwise.

Day 4: Your Dream Job

I would have to say that my dream job would range from working in the archives in Williamsburg, with the archaeology department in Williamsburg, or running a historical education program somewhere, teaching all age ranges about history.

So everyone, tell me what your favorite quote is and what your dream job would be. Are you working towards your dream job, or are you already doing it? Let me know.

XO,

30 Days of Blogging Day 2

Hey Everyone!

It’s time for 20 facts about me.

1. I am deathly afraid of Spiders! Seriously, eek.
2. I have changed schools once again to Southern New Hampshire University online. I’m still studying History and I intend to get my masters there as well.
3. I can drive a vehicle with a manual transmission.
4. When it comes to reading, I either read nonstop or don’t read at all. There doesn’t seem to be an in between for me.
5. I have never traveled outside of the continental United States but it is something I hope to do before I die.
6. Subsequently, I have never traveled West of the Mississippi River and I have not been able to visit all of the states this side o the River yet.
7. My favorite colors are blue and green.
8. I have two favorite book series’. The Harry Potter Series and The Outlander Series.
9. I can sit and watch Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Hobbit movies back to back, without getting tired of them.
10. I was in a car accident at the beginning of my senior year of high school. I was the only one hurt and it still effects me physically and mentally.
11. If given the opportunity to own a mini farm, I would drop everything and do it.
12. I attended Universal Technical Institute before I started studying History. I graduated with all 11 certifications offered by them through Ford but still couldn’t obtain a job.
13. I don’t know where life is taking me now but I am actually relieved it isn’t in the Automotive Industry at the moment.
14. I have a wish list on amazon that is full of books and programs to learn the extensive list of languages I want to learn and master.
15. I also have a wish list with over 200 books I want to purchase and read even though I have a stack of books that still need to be read.
16. I am terrified of flying even though I have never done it.
17. I am constantly looking for ways to keep things organized and then not implementing them because I find something better.
18. I love to cook and recently tested a recipe for undone Egg roll’s in a Bowl. It was amazing and tasted better than take away Chinese.
19. I get more work done at night when no one is bugging me and there are less distractions. Unfortunately that means I am usually really tired throughout the day and never on a normal sleep schedule.
20. I have high levels of anxiety when it comes to social interaction with people I am uncomfortable with or people that I don’t know. I also have high levels of anxiety while driving in wet, snowy, or icy weather.

I found it rather hard to figure out what to put in this list. It’s not that I don’t have anything to talk about, I just don’t usually talk about myself. I you saw anything you want to discuss let me know. I always want to hear from you.

2017 Suggestions

Hey Everyone!

How is everyone? I am looking for new topic suggestions for this year. I want to let you know some of the things I’m thinking about doing this year. As always, we will continue the QOTD and my posts from any trips I take this year. I would also like to start up a literary review/discussion. Something that we can interact with each other over. I also want to do a series that discusses historical events. I am looking for suggestions as to what you would like to read about, learn about, and/or discuss. Your opinions are always welcome here no matter what.

Please, please, please let me know what you would like to see, what you would like to have me review, your favorite book at the time, etc. Is there any historical events you want to read about or discuss? Is there a current event you would like to discuss? I want to know, so please leave a comment down below and let me know what you want to see. I have a goal to write at least once a day from now until the end of the year.

XO,
