Hello Steemit!

My name is Clayton, and I am a 22-year-old college student from a small town in North Carolina. You know, one of those towns with one stop light, and where your related to all your neighbors. No but seriously, my grandparents live beside me, my great grandmother across the road, and my aunt on the other side.

I used to think that someone like me didn’t have an interesting enough story to share it with the world. I thought all of us small town folk were just boring, average people who have nothing important to say. I’m pretty sure that most of the people I grew up with and live amongst probably think that too. I’ve come to realize that isn’t true though.

After hearing about Steemit, I quickly became interested in the premise of the site. I emailed a few friends and shared it with them, signed up for my account, and waited with excitement for my account to be verified. I saw Steemit as a platform where I could share my story with a growing and diverse community that could appreciate the things I have to offer.

We all live unique lives in some way. Different religions, different countries, different classes, etc. But we are all also so similar. Many of us face the same hardships, have the same questions, bear the same burdens. There is a balance between our uniqueness and our similarities, and at that crossroads is Steemit.

More about me.

I am currently pursuing an Associates Degree in Web Administration and Design. I enjoy coffee, books, Star Wars, and card games. I work part time in IT Support, and I have an incredible girlfriend who gets me through my stressful days. I have always been conflicted with weather or not I should pursue a creative life, or one that is more traditional and logical. I hope to walk the line between the two as much as I can.

So, what’s with the name learningrandom? Basically, I enjoy learning and writing about random, sometimes mundane, things. I think it is fascinating to look at the most basic things in the world and get curious about them. Curiosity is something that I think is important if you want to live an interesting life.

I look forward to interacting with this community for years to come, and I hope that I can add value in many ways. If you want to hear random ramblings from me, learn new things, or if you just enjoy my writing, give me a follow.
