Welcome!

Welcome to my blog, Marie is Finally Adulting, I am Marie, and this is your first-person look at how i'm growing up. (or as i'd like to call, "adulting") As of today, October 26th, 2015 I am 18 years old and almost half way through my first year of college at California State University, Stanislaus. I'm Majoring in Art History (one of the only Art History majors in my whole school, I may add.) and I love every second of learning about art.

When i'm not memorizing the order of Greek columns or endlessly scrolling through tumblr, i'm usually watching Youtube or taking Buzzfeed quizzes.... Oh you were wondering what I do when i'm not on my computer? um... 

Oh! I am an avid music lover and collector. My music taste tends to be described as, "music that plays in the last scene of a YA movie" if that helps you get a sense of what I'm always listening to. I'd say when i'm not listening to music i'm watching music being made. I'm just about addicted to watching musicians play (which may have something to do with my 3 year relationship with a Jazz Performance major) and if I could become a professional coffee shop band connoisseur, I would drop out right now. 

So if you're wondering, "Wow, I think I could name 3 people who sound exactly like this girl," you're probably right. But I think you're getting the wrong picture. I'm here to not just keep a diary of my life, but maybe help people who have been through things similar to what i've been through. As a daughter of two moms, comes from a military family, and someone who has suffered from severe depression and anxiety, as well as someone who struggles daily with things like motivation, body positivity, and the hardships of a long distance relationship. I hope that my blog can create a sense of hope or comfort, and let people know they're not alone. I hope I can be a voice that tells the world that our generation has a strong voice. 

Until next time, Marie.
