Who am I and why should you care?
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’re one of my friends and I’m making you, or you’re my mom and dad. But hey anyways! I’m Kendal, originally from the epitome of a small town and currently living in Austin, Texas. I’m a sophomore at the University of Texas double majoring in Sustainability Studies and Communication and Leadership. (such a mouthful, I know) with plans to maybe attend law school. We’re not talking about that yet though, we’ll get there. Eventually, I think I want to practice environmental law or do something in sustainable energy.
I tried to think of some quick facts or hobbies and I’m drawing some blanks. I guess this is my hobby, writing blogs over the past couple years with no real intentions of sharing them until now. I’m one of those people that obsess constantly over a hobby for about 3 weeks and then never touch it again. I’m finally starting to get into cooking after living on my own for almost two years. Better now than never I guess. Honestly, my truest and most enjoyable hobby is telling stories. I love a good story (and being the center of attention). I have debated this whole thing for such a long time because honestly I was scared. But at the same time I realized, who really cares honestly. I have self-diagnosed main character syndrome and this is a treatment for it.
A sidebar I guess I should mention is the name of this thing. Makenmems. I didn’t think it needs explaining, but I also came up with it so I guess that’s why. Makenmems is a play on “making memories” with my name “ken” in the middle. If you’re new, the idea started when I went to Europe and wanted a platform to document every aspect of my trip without feeling like I was flooding my regular accounts. And here we are! Glad we got that cleared up.
Why does this even matter? I don’t really know. The truth is that it really doesn’t. You probably know at least four other girls that went off to college and started a blog. I can even think of five off the top of my head. So why am I any different? I’m not, honestly. My perspective is different, just like everyone else. I’ve always loved to write and this gives me a place to put it. Give me a chance if you want to and if you don’t, it won’t hurt my feelings (that much). I just really enjoy oversharing on the internet and this gives me a place to do just that. So thanks for reading, if you made it this far, and I’ll see you soon. Welcome to makenmems.com.
