Hello good people of... wherever you're reading this from! I hope I find you well. My name is Blue State Girl, and I'm a sixteen-year-old junior at a teeny-tiny private school. I created this journal as a project that doesn't have much to do with school, but rather my own mental health. I recently attended a program in sunny California that was all about politics and the government. Honestly, before this I was interested in anything BUT politics. It seemed like it barely affected me. However, this doesn't mean that I wouldn't vote (if I were one measly year older), because I most definitely would. It's just that I had more important things to worry about like doing well in school and obsessing over getting into college and whatnot (I bet you thought I was going to say something completely shallow. Have some faith!). After this trip, though, my eyes have been opened! I actually care about what's going on in this country I live in. Thus, this journal is born.
In each post, I will discuss an aspect about what's going on currently in the wonderful world of politics. I will also leave a question for ANY of you to answer. However, please be kind and don't bash me or anyone else who posts. I may be sixteen, but I do have some insight on what's going on. Also, it's the young voters who are really starting to count! However, this post is going to be question-free. I'm just introducing myself and this journal. Well, I suppose I could supply a very simple and broad question: Which candidate do you support and why?
