Hello blogging world :)

Good Morning! I'm Alex...




I am so new to this. I don't even know where to begin. So I guess I'll start with a little bit about myself... 

Age: 23
Current Location: Los Angeles, CA
Born and Raised: Edmonds, WA [about 20 minutes away from Seattle]
Occupation: Current 2nd year law student, hoping to become some sort of litigator one day. 
How I spend my free time: exploring los angeles, going on runs, swimming, reading, watching way too much crappy reality television, trying new places to eat, attempting to cook, taking pictures, trying to plan new adventures in other parts of the world that I don't have time/money to go to. 
Law School: UCLA School of Law
College: University of Washington 
Major: Political Science & International Studies
Football Team: Seattle Seahawks!!!!! 
Current Goals: To finish 2L year stronger than last, to run a 1/2 marathon without stopping on February 1st, to find a job, to read more in my free time, and to create this blog!

Recently, my morning ritual has changed from watching TV while I get ready for my day to drinking coffee and reading blogs. I decided that it was time to start my own! I have no idea what I am doing, how to make this blog look prettier without spending money, or how to even see if people read/care about what I write. But if anything, I will be able to look back and get a glimpse of what my life was like at age 23. 

I choose the name "searching for sunshine" because that is one of the reasons I moved to California. However, I've realized that I actually miss the rain and that sunshine just means being happy. I hope to write about my experiences in law school and college, how to stay sane when you are surrounded by stress and craziness, how I attempt to stay healthy, how I am going to train for my first 1/2 marathon, what life is like in los angeles (or what it's like moving to any big city where you don't know many people), why I am obsessed with Seattle, how I stay happy, and everything in between. 

I can't wait to get started & thanks for following along :)
