Finding Your Voice

Finding Your Voice

Creating Yourself in the Blog World

I suppose, since this is my first ever blog post for the public world I should introduce myself to you. Which leaves me staring at the keyboard for an hour repeating the question: "Who am I now that I have a blog?"

According to my media writing course my voice should be a portrayal of the company I am working for, which is currently me. Therefore I suppose my voice for this blog will involve many puns and musical theater references (proof of this last one is found above). However, I am not only my puns, I am also a lover of young adult fiction, bad romantic comedies, and a creative writer. Once again, who am I?

Starting to think the identity crisis is over, I'm secretly prisoner 24601 from Victor Hugo's Les Miserablés. On the one hand this has been helpful, this will not be a blog with a serious tone. While I may address serious topics, I'll probably throw in some dark humor and use way too many gifs. Yes! Mission accomplished, I have an idea of tone for this blog.

Now that the crisis is over I shall finally introduce myself. My name is Anastasia Pauluk and I am a graduating senior at the College of Saint Benedict (thank you, thank you so much). I am a Communication major, English and Theology double minor with an intense love for music. Bassoon playing, reading obsessively, watching too much Netflix, and singing power ballads are only a few of my past times, I'm hoping to add blogging to the list.

By this point of the post you're probably wondering why I made this blog. I want to put my thoughts and ideas out into the world and expand my portfolio (sometimes you have to admit you really are just padding your resume). I hope that this will be an enjoyable experience for me and maybe for you as well dear reader. Now let's all collectively roll our eyes at that last sentence and get on with our lives.
