First Blog: Get to Know Me!

Since this is my first blog post ever, I thought it'd be good to get to know me.

My name is Kinsey Hyland. I have lived in California my entire life and recently moved to LA to attend college. I am a nutritional science major who desires to learn more about nutrition and health. Seeing my mom's interest in nutrition when I was younger made me want to know more. I'm fascinated with how eating healthy can impact our lifestyles and bodies. It's something that I will never get tired of learning about since it is always changing; we're always finding out new things about nutrition. 

I also have a passion for animals. I used to have cats, but they unfortunately passed away with old age. I have never had a dog of my own, but I definitely want to in the future. However, my boyfriend has a dog that I am absolutely obsessed with. He is the sweetest little guy ever; I'll post a picture of him below! Because of my love for animals, I have made the decision to become vegetarian. I have been vegetarian for a few years now and absolutely love it. You have to be a little more creative when making food but that's one thing that I like about it.

I have many hobbies but don't have as much time as I'd like to do them. I enjoy reading, writing, and painting. I can sit here and paint for hours; I recently got into it and it's one of the most therapeutic things ever. I have enjoyed reading and writing for years now. I can sit there and read articles or books about nutrition or health all day. Romance books are one of my favorites, but I don't read them as much as I used to. It's hard for me to find good books these days, so I would love to have some recommended to me! Writing has been something that I've been trying to do more of lately. Writing in my journal or writing letters to my boyfriend is something I love to do.

I believe that my passion for writing has led me to start this blog. I feel as though my mind is always racing with ideas, but I don't always put them down on paper. I like sharing things with people, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do so. 

One thing I don't enjoy doing is watching movies. I can't sit still long enough to watch a movie. Romance movies or "feel good" movies are the only movies that intrigue me. People don't like watching movies with me since I don't enjoy them as much as they do.

I'm currently trying to get back into the gym. My last semester of school was extremely hectic so I had little time to do things for myself, including exercising. I spent countless hours in class and volunteering. I recently went trail-running nearby my house and I loved it. Running outside is so much better than being in a gym. I just don't feel comfortable in the gym anymore.

I don't want to go overboard on my first post, but I hope you learned a little about me. Feel free to comment on my posts! :)
