"I'm going to get out. I'm going to finish community college in two years, get my Associates in Arts degree and transfer somewhere far, far away from California." Christ the Lord, I did not think I would actually do it. Let alone be three months, knees-deep in but also head submerged, lungs filling with water, getting light-headed in.

Let me introduce myself to my wide-eyed friends who were interested enough to click this link! My name is Daniella Antonia DellaMaggiore, I am 21 years old, and I was born and raised in Orange County, California. So, let's just stop here because I just gave you three statements to hardcore judge me.

Numero Uno: Daniella Antonia DellaMaggiore - I will save you all a breath and let you know that I go by Dewey. This is due to inadequate spelling skills and wanting to be accepted as a child, you can see why I chose a shorter name. That and I was born with a butt-ton of hair on my head as a child, but that's another story.

Numero Dos: (I really hope I am doing this Spanish thing right) I just recently turned 21, so I am not cuckoo for alcoh-co. There might be mention of alcohol in the future for you legal homies, you can cheers to that!

Number Three: (I gave up) The OC... all I can say is I am probably the most anti-Orange County person you will ever come across. I don't like the beach, I don't like the sunshine, but I sure do love "The Real Housewives of Orange County." Am I basic? Of course I am, I came from the basic of most basic places. Am I terrified of being fat and shamed for the rest of my life because no woman in Orange County weighs more than my pinky finger? Let's just say this, the thought of, "do I eat two meals today or have a fat cookie instead?" runs through my head daily. Are my clothes fabulous? Is that even a question, I have a finsta (fun Instagram) where I post my outfits because even I cannot deny the flare of velvet bell-bottoms and a cheetah fur coat (@dews_doos). Don't you dare think I look like that on a daily basis! I am a health science major AKA messy-bun that I slept on, baggy sweatshirt, yoga pants to prove to the world I am a woman, and Ugg boots because #basic.

I came to BSU for the Diagnostic Radiology program, and by some twist of fate and maybe my grades, I got in my first time applying. It was the only school I applied to and I had no alternate option. All or none. I tend to live my life like that, and that is what I plan to write about. I am a blonde and blunt 21-year-old female, learning how to adult all on my own, but meeting rad people along the way. I have a passion for people and relationships, an adventurous heart with a potato mind-set, and man oh man do I have a mouth that I tend to not keep shut.. hopefully it will make for some good articles.

When I think of "the new girl" I think of Jessica Day from the show New Girl, obviously. More so, I think of a girl just sitting and watching until she feels she has seen it enough to join in. Brotha, that ain't me. Something new, show me once and if I even let you get through your demonstration, I am doing it. With a very strict student budget, I am throwing myself into what being a college kid in a new town has to offer. "Caution? Wind? What art thou, for I do not know-ith" - Shakespeare's apprentice, Dewey DellaMaggiore.

I may rant, I may go on some tangents. I may make you laugh and I am truly truly sorry if I ever make you cry (quite frankly I have a black heart and don't know how to cry so I don't think it will happen). I do promise it will be a good time and a good read!
