lex and the city

Restaurants opened for indoor seating in Ohio!!!  I'm so happy that things are opening back up. Even though I don't have anyone to go anywhere with yet, my boyfriend will be visiting soon so that will definitely make everything better. Although Ohio is in the process of opening again, the rest of the world is still shut down. I really hope more than anything that New York opens before I have to go back to school. Otherwise I'll have to suffer through online school again and I'll have to spend the semester in Ohio. I don't hate Ohio as much as I rag on it; I really do appreciate it's quiet, peaceful existence. It's just that going to school in New York has really removed me from the social scene here, not that I was ever much a part of it. Now I have like two or three friends here and none of them I talk to regularly so I really don't want to hit them up and ask to hang out. I know that they would most likely say yes, but I'm just anxious about it. ...

I really picked a stupendous time to start doing something that requires a constant flow of ideas. I'm hoping this gets easier. Today was my first day back in Ohio. I'm originally from Ohio so I come home every break from school. It wasn't too bad actually. I typically want to rip my hair out pretty much constantly when I'm home. I feel more stable this time. I'd like to attribute that to my boyfriend, but I know I had the strength to stabilize myself the whole time. I just needed someone to tell me I can do it. This is basically going to become a public diary if I'm not careful. Honestly wouldn't be too upset with that though. At least then I have something to write about. Haven't gotten a job yet; I have to call one place tomorrow so wish me luck with that. I sorted through my childhood bitty baby stuff today. It had me pretty nostalgic...

My boyfriend made fun of me a lot when I told him that I was going to do this. In a friendly, good natured way of course; can't have my readers thinking I'm in a toxic relationship from the first line. Honestly, I completely agree with his criticism. I don't know what I'm going to write about. It took me fifteen minutes to pick a theme and fonts for my blog. Maybe (definitely) because it distracted me from the actual task of filling my blog with content. I guess I should give a little background info about myself first. My name is Alexis, you can call me Lex though. I go to college in Brooklyn, NY (hence the blog name) and I'm a junior. I'm an English major and communications minor so basically I'm studying to be jobless in two years. I'm only kind of kidding. I want to be a writer and I've been told the best way to do that is to just write, all the time every day. I journal of course, but I need more to keep myself accountable. I wrote for an onli...
