One year starts now…

There are 365 days in a year, and even more than that is the number of thoughts that run through my mind.

My name is Joseph Aaron Racca, Jr.  I am 20 years old, an undergraduate at UCLA working towards my bachelor’s in anthropology.  Since my life in LA has changed me  a lot over these past two years in college, I consider myself a SoCal boy.  There’s not too much in that name, no complexities, and I highly advise others not to generalize or assume anything in that ‘label.’

Okay, let’s face it, I’m not the best writer, not the most well-versed in academia, or vocabulary for that matter.  I do, however, have a tendency to sing, create, design.

But for now, through this blog, I will be focusing more on the design aspect of my life.  I recently watched Julie and Julia.  She committed to doing a blog every day for a whole year.  And so I want to work on my commitment to things in my life, whether that be following through with this daily blog, or even the bigger things in life, applications, deadlines, etc.

This will be the beginning of a journey to learning design, tips, and tricks behind the thing that I really do enjoy love doing the most, if anything.  Day by day, I’ll do a lesson on the internet, through books, tutorials, and every week I’ll have designed something, implementing the techniques I’ve learned in my daily lessons.

This is going to be a tough one for me.  Will I be able to follow through?  I guess I’ll have to wait and see.

365 days, 365 lessons, 52 designs…
