Get to Know Me

Hi!

I’m Kaitlynn. Yes, that’s really how my mom spelled it. Don’t ask, because I have no idea.

As of 2019, I am a moderately successful 21 year old, but that just depends on how you judge success. It’s my goal to be completely, 100%, honest with readers, so it’s time to get blunt.

In the spring of 2015, I graduated high school ranked in the top 20 of my class of 400. Now, I’m a college drop out with a real estate license (which I am so happy about. It’s actually super hard work for those that don’t know) and live in my parent’s house… which is full of people. More like overflowing.

There’s my mom, dad, older sister, me, younger sister, her marine boyfriend whenever he’s not away, my younger brother, and my cousin. That’s 8 people. Our house has three bedrooms, so my older sister and I share the sun porch, which has actually turned out to be super cute! Now, not only does everyone and their mother live at our house, but we also have three cats and three dogs.

It’s a little chaotic, but never dysfunctional. I’ve learned that you have to really love your family in order to be as close as we are, so I guess this is kind of a blessing.

We live in a suburb of Charlotte, North Carolina, but all of us (except the marine boyfriend) are originally from BFE in western Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. We moved here in 2007, a month before my 10th birthday. Talk about a culture shock.

Sometimes I wonder if people really recognize the differences between the North and South, and then appreciate them. I do, however I don’t think I fit in much up north anymore. Definitely at least one half southerner.

I wanted to start this blog as a way to comment on life, and society, and be able to hear other people’s thoughts in response. I know many of us have had similar, or the same, life experiences, and I want to create a safe environment for discussion and (hopefully) friendship.

This will be a depiction of life, at least my understanding of it.

Welcome!
