I am attending UW-Whitewater; this is going to be my last semester. I am an only child, to a single mother. I am needing a little self-love\/T.L.C and I thought using my blog post assignment for my Social Media Optimization class was a perfect opportunity to multitask; something graphic designers have to be really good at.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This blog is going to be a little different than most blogs. I am using this page for personal growth and discovery, almost like a journal. At the beginning of Covid-19, I called off an engagement that I had been in for a year and a half. I am no longer with the person for many reasons, but one of the big ones is because I lost the fun and outgoing person I used to be. I was sad and lonely even though it was supposed to be the happier years of my relationship. I&#8217;ve decided I am going to use these next few months to push myself out of my comfort zone to find my likes and dislikes again. I am seeing someone new who is really amazing, but I don&#8217;t want to fall into the same pattern of adopting their likes\/dislikes. I need to learn to have opinions again. The first step in growth is admitting a problem. I will mostly be posting new adventures, food, and some self-love topics. I will also be sharing some Instagram posts here throughout the semester if you want to keep updated with me there as well. So here I am, putting myself out here on a blog for all my classmates and the world to see. I think that counts as my first &#8220;pushing myself out of my comfort zone&#8221; task, wouldn&#8217;t you. agree? The next step to this process of finding myself is coming soon so stay tuned and wish me luck!<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/findyourself\/files\/2020\/09\/Ash-for-blog-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/findyourself\/files\/2020\/09\/Ash-for-blog-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/findyourself\/files\/2020\/09\/Ash-for-blog-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/findyourself\/files\/2020\/09\/Ash-for-blog-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/findyourself\/files\/2020\/09\/Ash-for-blog-100x133.png 100w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/findyourself\/files\/2020\/09\/Ash-for-blog-150x200.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/findyourself\/files\/2020\/09\/Ash-for-blog-200x267.png 200w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/findyourself\/files\/2020\/09\/Ash-for-blog-300x400.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/findyourself\/files\/2020\/09\/Ash-for-blog-450x600.png 450w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/findyourself\/files\/2020\/09\/Ash-for-blog-600x800.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/findyourself\/files\/2020\/09\/Ash-for-blog-900x1200.png 900w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/findyourself\/files\/2020\/09\/Ash-for-blog.png 1426w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Ashley, I recently turned 23 and I am a graphic design major with a minor in advertising.
