I guess I should start with the most obvious intro line; my name is Francesca Varischetti and I'm 22 years old.
Okay, now that I got that out of the way…
I grew up in Small Town, USA (Brockway, PA). I'm beyond words proud of the town I come from and wouldn't want to have lived anywhere else.
I recently graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in psychology and minor in political science. My dream is to get my bachelors degrees (check!), obtain a master's in educational/school psychology, and go on to get my Psy.D. in counseling psychology. I want to be able to give kids the best schooling experience and make sure any kid can reach for his or her dreams. Additionally, one day I hope to open a private practice and also a therapeutic horseback riding ranch for mental health.
When I was 15, the summer after my freshman year of high school I started writing for the local newspaper in my town. I called the sports editor one day during the baseball all-star season asking if he needed another writer because there were so many teams in the area and he told me of a game that weekend to go to, write about, and send him my article. Four years later I've had over 100 articles published in print and numerous articles that have run online as well.
Writing is my passion, which is a major reason I decided to start this blog. (And also because a blog is much simpler than the books I've been trying to write for years but that's a whole other story)
Now for the randomness:
In my spare time, which there isn't very much of because I'm so active, I enjoy watching sports, particularly football and wrestling, cooking, baking, fishing, and riding horses. Next to writing, horses are my love and my life. I currently have two horses (my little man is almost three and his momma is 16).
The quote that I live by is Ralph Waldo Emerson's, "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." I'm a firm believer in being an individual and not following the crowd. I was born a leader and have never been afraid to be the one to set an example for others.
People who know me best say I'm a perfectionist, go-getter, and stubborn as hell. I can wholeheartedly agree with all of those.
I'm your typical millennial who tweets too much (follow me: @cesca_celeste), listens to music too loud, doesn't get enough sleep, has high expectations, and many goals.
Many of the things I blog about are from real life experiences. It's advice that I wish would have been offered to me or advice that was offered and I wished I would have believed and listened to. In a way, writing a blog is like having a diary online and not really caring who reads it.
So prepare to see the ups and downs of life and hopefully you learn something along the way!
Xoxo,
