Welcome to “Life According to the Middle Child.” This blog is basically going to be a time capsule for my life at the moment. I feel like my life is going 1,000,000 miles a minute and I want this blog to help me take the time to slow down and remember to take everything in as it happens; especially because it is my final year at STA.

My name is Kate Jones and I am a senior here at the Academy. There are a few things that you need to know about me before I take you on my journey through senior year. I’m the middle sister (hence the title of this blog), I’m a huge mess, I’m very outspoken, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE STA. Also I tend to ramble a lot so my apologies if these posts are super long. My sense of humor is very strange and sometimes (often) I laugh at a joke for literally five minutes that no one else thinks is funny. I make a lot of noise… and when I’m stressed I tend to make large movements with my body parts, so if you ever see someone flailing their arms around in the hallways while grunting that is probably me either going through through an existential crisis (thanks Contemporary Theology) or freaking out about college.

On this blog I’m going to share with you, my readers, my DEEPEST DARKEST SECRETS. Okay that’s a lie, if anyone reading this knows me they can attest that I cannot keep a secret for the life of me, therefore I have none. However, I am going to tell you what makes me: happy, sad, frustrated, angry and everything else in between. Also I’ll probably tell occasional embarrassing moments in my life because I definitely have a lot. Something that I’m truly passionate about in life is being your true self. Over my first few years of high school I definitely tried to be someone that I’m not; now something I cherish more than anything else in this world is authenticity. If you were to get anything from these posts it would be to not be afraid what people perceive you as because if they don’t like you for how you really are then they don’t deserve you.
