Behind the Blog

How to start my first blog?... I guess how I should start a blog about me, as well tell you (whoever you may be) about me!

My name is Rachel Epstein originally from Madison, NJ. I am finishing out my senior year at High Point University in High Point, NC. I am a Business major and Marketing minor.  My thing, or well what I hope to be my thing, is Social Media.  I want to have the job that I bet almost every teenager wants right now… I want to run all the Social Media platforms for a company. Why not take what I religiously use everyday and turn it into a career.  Don’t let me forget that I love seeing how the online community responds to posts that I create. I am highly active on my personal accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. It sounds weird that I wouldn’t already have a blog that I post on. I guess I am good at tapping into other company’s voices and writing for them but I haven’t found my voice yet. So bear with me while I “find my voice”!

So up next, I feel like I owe all of you an explanation for the name of my blog. I did not want this blog to be about one thing in particular; I want the freedom to write about what is going on in my life. I want to be able to talk about what I want to talk about. What’s better than blogging about your life? NOTHING. So back to fight or flight… as I told you before I am a graduating senior, with only 4 months left until I enter the “real world.” Remembering only a little from freshman year psychology I remember this (with a little help from the internet): The fight-or-flight response, also known as the acute stress response, refers to a physiological reaction that occurs in the presence of something that is terrifying, either mentally or physically. I mean it doesn't exactly correlate with graduating, finding a job and moving all over the world, but I mean it kind of does right? No one is pointing a gun to my head but the pressure of what's going to happen in 4 short months sure does feel like it sometimes.  

So this is my journey from college senior to a “real” human… I hope you enjoy the ride.
