My mind is always racing, but often my hands are quiet. I have expressed myself through the poetry and written thoughts of others for so long, that I&#8217;ve started to feel like maybe my own thoughts are somehow being construed so that my thoughts are becoming less and less my own. I want this blog to change that. This blog, which I will oh-so-cleverly name <em>Dear Prudence<\/em>, will be a collection of things that make me who I am, of things and places that make me happy, and maybe sometimes of things that don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1581\" style=\"width: 484px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/09\/image3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1581\" class=\"wp-image-1581 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/09\/image3-1024x348.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"474\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/09\/image3-1024x348.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/09\/image3-300x102.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1581\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taken from the sidewalk on Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As far as style goes, I would like to follow a format similar to that of <a title=\"Sprouted Kitchen!!!\" href=\"http:\/\/sproutedkitchen.com\">Sprouted Kitchen<\/a>\u00a0. I really like how it&#8217;s obvious where the title is, but then it jumps right into the content of the post. Another blog I like is <a title=\"Anthropologie\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.anthropologie.com\">Anthropologie<\/a>.\u00a0It&#8217;s heavy on \u00a0pictures which is an element that I think is important. On the other hand, I would like my blog to have a simple, classy feel that &#8216;s easy on the eyes. I feel like if a blog is too busy, the reader will get distracted from the reason they came to look at the blog in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of media and posts, I want to include pictures of my friends and family (with their permission, of course), and maybe a video or two of my acapella group performing or practicing. My blog will also probably include random thoughts or feelings that I will have the day that our posts are due.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1584\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/09\/image4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1584\" class=\"wp-image-1584 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/09\/image4-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Taken by Colleen Brandt, Charles River, Cambridge, MA\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/09\/image4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/09\/image4-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/09\/image4.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taken by Colleen Brandt, Charles River, Cambridge, MA<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I need a place to put myself.
