First Impressions Can Be Huge...

Hello! Welcome to the party! My name is Erin, and I'll skip the general introduction (it's over on the right if you'd like to read it) and dive right in. I'll list some little fun facts about myself below, but I'd like to explain the name of this blog first. Because this is a place to record my thoughts and musings (and other things), I kept coming back to "stream of consciousness" when thinking of names. But I thought that wasn't quite right, so I added "streamers," because I want this space to be a positive space to celebrate life's little moments and victories, and thus, Streamers of Consciousness was born; a place for thoughts, a place to celebrate. I like it.

Here's a little bit about me:

• I'm a college student in the Midwest, but I'll probably do a whole post on that later.
• I'm the epitome of an old soul and a homebody.
• I love puns and plays on words, the internet, hot chocolate on dreary days (or any day, but I do love a good dreary day), and my family and friends. And my dog. He's a cool little dude.
• I'm a very honest person, so anything you read on here is what I actually think or feel. No sugar-coating anything.
• That said, honesty can come across as harsh or mean, and that is never my intent. I believe in treating everyone equally and with dignity and respect, and I ask you to do the same here.
• I've wanted to start a blog for a long time, but never knew what to do after I got it started. I finally have ideas about what to do here, and I hope they're things you'll find interesting, helpful, inspiring, or maybe just enjoyable. We'll learn more about each other as time goes on, so I hope you'll join me; the party's just getting started.

I wish you all the best,
Erin
