Blog of the Week: We're Just Here Pretending

This week's blog of the week is Makayla, who writes over at We're Just Here Pretending!  Meet Makayla:

Hi all! You can call me Makayla, and i'm the author of We're Just Here Pretending for over a year now. Search and explore through my daily life experiences as well as my general 'better your life' suggestions. Open your mind and thanks for visiting!

I'm an 18 year old student living in Upstate New York in Albany, while attending school at Massachusetts College of Liberal arts. I live with my mother, rabbit, and two cats. You can find me with my Nikon making beauty out of the perspective of a tree and sipping tea while procrastinating homework. I enjoy writing inspirational, witty pieces while using images to further attract my readers. I can't tolerate usual norms and I constantly roll my eyes at universal stupidity, but other than that I'm pretty down to earth. 

In the summer of 2011 one of my cousins decided that it would be a good idea to start a blog in order to develop a writing style of my own and to also advance my skills in preparation for college and any future careers. We’re Just Here Pretending comes from the idea that everyone in this world pretends. They make up stories, lies, ideas, etc. Every one of us has hidden secrets and a different way of living. 

We're Just Here Pretending was made for people that think too much, don’t think enough, and want more than what they have out of life. Join the club by over thinking, rolling your eyes and contemplating this thing called life!

Getting To Know You! A link up with NE Bloggers!

Welcome to our getting to know you link up!   I thought this would be a fun way for us to get to know a little more about our fellow North East Bloggers!   A little bit about this blog:   I started this blog because I began to notice that all the blogging networking sites I found were specific to certain areas- none of which were the area I lived!  Most of these networks were for Southern Bloggers, Southern Women Bloggers, Texas Bloggers etc etc.  I thought it would be great to have a place for bloggers living in the Northeast and thus North East Bloggers Network was born!   To me, this area includes anywhere from Pennsylvania (and Delaware) on north!  Some people might say there are two distinct areas here: Mid-Atlantic and New England, but I thought it would be nice to be a little more inclusive so I just grouped them all together and said it's the "northeast."   My hopes for this site are to provide a place for bloggers to interact, share ideas and create community.  Although I started this network, I do not intend for it to be "all about me."  I wanted to provide a place for many different kinds of NE bloggers to share ideas and receive recognition for their blogs.  This community is for blogs just starting out, blog that have been around for years, and everyone in between!  I also want this to be a relaxed and fun community!  I invite guest post from our members as well as feature a different blog each week as our "blog of the week." (email me if you're interested!)   A little bit about me:  

I live in Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, with my family.  I started blogging when we moved up to Pennsylvania several years ago and I didn't really know that much about the blog world.  I only posted a few times and then stopped blogging for awhile.  Then, I starting getting back into it and discovering other blogs and the whole "blog world" that exists!  On my personal blog I write about my life and interests including: my baby & family, travel, cooking, fashion and whatever else pops into my head!  
So that's a little bit about North East Bloggers and me!  I can't wait to read all of your "getting to know you" post!     Please link up your post below and go ahead and grab the button code below to add to your post!  Be sure to visit your fellow bloggers and leave them a comment!
