About
Hi! I’m Caitlin. Welcome! Here’s a little about me. I love people. Writing is my release. I always drive with one hand. Usually it’s my left. I hate blue pens. Black is my signature color. I am always laughing. Really loud. I get road rage. Cards and letters are my thing. I’m a former newspaper reporter, but I will always be a writer. I’ve changed. I’ve grown. I’ve lost. I’ve gained. This is me.
The goal of this blog is to document the life and times of a 25 26 27-year-old – or as I prefer quarter centurion – in the present day.
I plan to try new things, bring back good habits, and experiment day to day with this crazy little thing we call life.




i love you, more to come at a later date

I just found your blog through the ‘Healthy Living Blogs’ site, because I just moved to Austin and was looking to see who was in the area. Sounds like you moved here fairly recently too? Would love to meet up sometime. Hope all is wonderful!
Love this! We are totally on the same page. I am 25 also and just started a blog this year all about the quarter-life. Just discovered you via your Twitter name, and had to check you out. I will definitely be back!
Caitlin!
Where are you living now?
Hi! I just found your blog via Caitlin’s – your passion for writing was so evident in your post that I just had to click on over to your blog. I’m looking forward to reading more!
I love the premise of your blog!
So, not to be totally awkward, but I’m also Caitlin, and I’m also 26 — it’s definitely the new 25!
I started reading your blog via a comment you left on another one, and I love that you hate blue pens and get road rage, too. Keep up the great work; your photos are gorgeous!
Love your writings!!!!
