Hello, world! It's a new year, a new decade, new day, new month, and a new blog! One of my New Year's Resolutions (whether you believe in them or not) was to get back into reading and writing. Without further ado, here is a little bit more about myself.

I'm Kat and I am a first year medical student at Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine. I'm 23, love cats, reading, coffee, napping and food in no particular order. I also am a Jesus fanatic and I plan to stick close to my faith - it's the way I learned about myself and how I want to help heal the world. This year, I wanted to start a blog primarily for fellow podiatry students, pre-pod/pre-med students, family and friends alike to have an idea of what I am up to while studying at school. While applying to medical school, I never came across the "medical student blog" and didn't know where else to look - *insert triumphant trumpet noise* ta-da! Now I'm here! What better time to start than for the new year, am I right?

This blog is also intended to be a personal blog about my experiences and goals through podiatry school, and hopefully further on into clinicals, residency, and my practice! I can't wait to learn about my fellow readers along this journey and hope to inspire others that were looking for the same thing that I lacked to find for the longest time... Until next time, the content begins!
