Welcome to My World: All About Me

Hello! My name is Isabella Donaldson, and I am currently navigating my twenties in the great state of Michigan, where I have lived my whole life. Fun fact, the only time I have moved is when I moved into my university apartment to study elementary and special education. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a special education teacher for children… I’ll probably talk more about that in a different post. When people ask me about my hobbies and interests, here are some of my general responses

  • Pandas: I have at least 20 pandas in my bedroom alone.
  • Kung Fu Panda: All-time favorite movie since the tender age of 5.
  • Reading: Although I often fall into a reading slump, I love diving deep into a book. My favorite books are A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and the Harry Potter series… which means.
  • Harry Potter: Yes, I know the author is not the best person, but I love Harry Potter. It turned me from a struggling reader to an advanced reader in less than a year. Controversial option, my favorite character is Albus Dumbledore.
  • Traveling: I love a good vacation, you will often see my family traveling to amusement parks in the summer or down south for the winter. My favorite trip that I have ever taken was a tour of parts of Spain. My high school dream came true on that trip. P.S. Churros with a thick chocolate sauce are the BEST!!
  • Only Murders in the Building: Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short are three of my favorite celebrities, so I LOVE this TV series. My mom and I always watch it together, and every season leaves our jaws on the floor.
  • Survivor: My favorite reality TV show that my roommate and I recently started watching. The current season (Season 48) has been amazing. Eva or Joe better win!
  • Old TV Shows: Batman with Adam West, Star Trek, the Dick VanDyke Show, and Hart to Hart are some of my favorite comfort TV shows. I obviously watch more current TV shows, but these shows just have a special place in my heart.
  • Clarinet: For over twelve years, I have been playing the clarinet, and it has been a love-hate relationship… more about that in another post, but clarie (the clarinet’s name) and I are best buddies.
  • Dogs: Next to Pandas, I love doggies. I currently have a 100-pound standard poodle named Toby. I’m sure he will appear in a post soon, but you will always see my eyes light up when I see a dog.
  • Writing: Writing is one of my favorite pastimes. The number of stories that I have written on Google Docs is crazy, it is how I express myself… which leads into the why of this website.

One big aspect of my life is that I am on the Autism Spectrum and have an Anxiety Disorder. These two topics are for sure going to appear in a post soon, but for now, I want to use these two disorders to explain why I made this blog. Honestly, I have thought about making this blog for years. As I stated above, I love writing, and it has been a great way to express my feelings. At the end of every semester, I write letters to my teacher in case they don’t know how much I appreciated them during our time together. When a current event happens that I have big feelings about, I tend to express my thoughts through writing. The current social media algorithms are not super kind to long posts, so why not make my own platform to express my thoughts? This is what I intend to use this website for. To express my thoughts on the world around me and the thoughts that are swarming around in my head. I also plan on using this website to share my appearances in different projects, my interests, and some of my favorite photos that I have taken (right now, a majority of the photos are from Spain). I will try to keep this website as positive as I can, but sometimes I might just need to rant… I mean, this world is crazy, but there is one important message that I always keep near and dear to my heart, and that is how I’m going to end this post.

Always Be Kind!
