Hey guys! My name is Natalie Thomas and I'm from Palm Desert, California which happens to be right next to the beautiful Palm Springs. It's not too far from here however, the weather change makes it feel ages away. I have two little brothers along with two little sisters, but I am the only kid from both the same mother and father. Back home I worked as a lifeguard at an aquatic center that recently opened up a year ago and I absolutely loved it. I also taught swim lessons there and I love anything to do with the water. I was even on the varsity swim team in high school so it really bums me out that there's no pool here. I also love writing and I'm crazy about anything fashion related. I'm still undecided as far as my major goes, but I don't think theres any rush to decide now. I'm really excited about being here for college and I'm looking forward to meeting a ton of great people.
Thats awesome that you were a lifegaurd and taught people how to swim.
ReplyDeleteMy best friend was a lifeguard too at our local community pool and was on our high school swim team. I love writing also, but when it comes to fashion I could use some pointers :P
ReplyDeleteMy aunt lives in Palm Springs now! She loves it there and says it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like writing too and I'm also undeclared. Thats cool that you taught people to swim
ReplyDeletethat's so cool that you were a lifeguard and taught swim lessons!

ReplyDeleteYou have plenty of time to find your major that will fit with you. You should make some friends that live at the UVA/QUAD so you can swim in the pools there. You should think of combining your love of writing with fashion and become a fashion editor or start your own fashion magazine. Just some ideas that popped into my head.

yea I've definitely been thinking about that as a future career! I think it would be so much fun!
DeleteI like your blog layout! I'm Undeclared too but we have time to figure out what we want our major to be (:
ReplyDeleteI'm undeclared too, I am not completely sure what I would like to major in now so I'm just going to take my time deciding before I commit to something, but hopefully I figure out what I wan to do soon. Your blog is so pretty btw! (:
ReplyDeleteIm really bummed that CSUSM doesnt have any aquatic teams too. I swam and did water polo all 4 years in high school so now im really starting to miss that.

ReplyDeleteOnly time I was in Palm Desert we went to a giant dinosaur? and there was a religious store inside of it lol do you know where that is??
