Here we go.

I will be 18 in a week. I think I've put off making a blog as long as i can.
I've always wanted a blog, it's like a diary but, like many other young girls, i can never stick to writing it everyday and i never know what to say. But i joined a site a few months ago now that has a section for 'Ranting/Venting,' and i found that everything i want to say comes out better when i can sit at my computer late at night and type away.
So here comes the first post.

Most diaries begin with a brief introduction to the individual writing. lets go with a bullet pointed list. (because bullet points make the world go round and essays less shit)

• My Name is Emma.
• I am 17 but in 7 days on the 22nd i will be 18, an adult in the eyes of the world.
• I am still a college student, doing my 2nd year of 3.
• I am studying English Language (a subject i NEVER would have imagined myself doing) Critical Thinking and Film Studies.
• I smoke, but not as often as i will be when i can buy my own, the trouble with not having friends who live near me is that i can't get cigarettes.
• I don't have many friends. And the ones i do have live at least a 20 minute train ride away, the most being almost 4 hours by train down in Surrey.
• It sucks being here all alone.
• I am a self harmer. I have been since i was 10 years old. I don't normally start with that in any conversation and no one in my immediate life knows anything about it. But i feel that if i'm going to have a blog about my life, i should probably let you know to begin with that i have issues. 
• I'm not a huge fan of myself. Understatement of the century, i hate myself. 
• I like blogging lyrics that express how i feel.
