Welcome Friends: Part 2
Hello to all of my new virtual friends! I am Madelyn, or Maddie, of the Mad from Lex Get Mad! I am 19 years old and go to college at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. I am interested in joining the Social Work program. I want to help people and what better way than through social work! When I am not at school, I live with my mother Lisa, my dad Brad, and my sister Katie. We also have a german shepherd-chow mix 4-year-old puppy named Manny. Manny and Maddie! Needless to say, we are best friends!
I am very passionate about lots of things! A few of those things include the environment, rights for EVERYONE, Planned Parenthood, the mental health stigma, and overall kindness to and from all.
I also have lots of ways to stay busy. I love to read, color, write poetry, clean and organize, and hang out with my friends and family. Reading has always been something I love to do. The best part is finding a book that makes you feel as if you are in the book as well! I also enjoy coloring. I consider myself a creative person and being able to color however I want to express how I am feeling is an amazing thing. Writing poetry is special to me. I didn't even know I liked poetry until I was a junior in high school. I took a creative writing class and one unit was all about poetry. I was not looking forward to it, as I thought I had no talent in that area of writing. It turns out, I did! My teacher believed in me and my talent and taught me so much about poetry and myself. I plan to publish a poetry book sometime in my life! I am sure I will share some of my work on this blog, so I can't wait to see what you all think! Now, cleaning and organizing is a huge part of who I am and how I cope with stress! I could clean and organize all day! My favorite part of the cleaning process is when it looks way worse than when you started! That's when you know that you are close to having a completely new and clean area! If I wasn't going to college, I probably would start my own cleaning and organization business where I go to houses and clean whatever my clients want me to haha! Friends and family are super important to me. I only have a few close friends, but it isn't about quantity, it's about quality. I consider them all my best friends because I am very close to all of them. I can trust them with anything and they will never judge me. My family means everything to me. Spending time with family is better than anything, well, maybe not cleaning! Haha! Seriously though, being with family and laughing and having inside jokes and great connections is an amazing feeling. I am Daddy's girl, so that relationship is everything to me! I am very close to one of my aunts, and she is always there for me, and it means the world. I hope this blog grants me a second family, with all of you!
Time to get a little sappy! Alexis, or Lex, is my partner in crime for this blog. She referred to me as the "mastermind" behind this blog, but she is not giving herself enough credit. We are equally important in this blog. We met through our church, and I have always looked up to her. She started a bible study at the church and my sister and I were the only ones who attended. I was so excited to go and see her once a week and get to know her and how strong her faith was better. She is an amazing person who cares about everyone and believes everyone is equal, like me. This is OUR blog, not mine with some help from her!
I have wanted to start a blog for a long time now. We started this blog so we could connect and interact with people and share our views on things and maybe help educate others who don't know much about the topics we discuss. We also want to offer our tips and tricks for certain things that could hopefully make your lives easier! As much as I wanted to start this blog, I knew I couldn't do it alone. When I was thinking of who I wanted to join me in this amazing adventure, Alexis was the first person to pop into my head. Her passion for things and the amazing way she cares for everyone and wants to help is exactly what I wanted to add to this blog, so she was the perfect fit! I can't wait for you to see what we bring to this blog and I can't wait to get to know all of you and become family with you all! Thank you for reading this whole thing haha!
