My Welcome Mat: Please Wipe Your Feet

I would like to cordially invite and welcome you to the personal blog of one Madison Masterson. I am currently a student at the University of Texas - Austin and this blog is going to be as disorganized and chaotic as my life. Appropriately titled, Life Undeclared will follow my struggles and (hopefully) successes as I try to decide on a major, graduate in four years, travel abroad, and begin my life as a highly educated vivacious young woman.

So that I'm not a total stranger, I'd like to title the following as "About Me." I'm a crazed One Direction fan. I'm really into indie rock and local bands. I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, then moved to Chicago, Illinois, when I was eleven. I currently live in Austin, Texas, and if you're guessing I'm a passionate left-winged hippie who yells at people when they don't recycle, you're mostly right. I am very open-minded and I can't stand when people are blatantly wasteful. I was a dancer in high school and it is a pitiful fear of mine that that was my peak.

As I said before, I'm in what's considered the "outlining stage" for the thesis paper of life. Keep reading until I get to the juicy first draft, or end here. Either way, I thank you for your presence.
