WELCOME TO THE CHRONICLES OF CHELSEY ft. MY FIRST POST

Hi Steemit!

It's @chels here, aka a complete noob of a steemian finally marking her first step into the alluring world of Steem.
Although I joined at the beginning of last month, I stood on the Steem Sidelines lurking and contemplating about how I wanted to curate my posts. I realised I was thinking way too much about it, and decided to just say hi and introduce myself to a new community.

First and foremost, thank you to @nishyfishy for introducing me to this platform. It's insanely awesome to connect with so many different people from all walks of life posting about various topics. Initially, I assumed curators had to already be immersed in the world of crypto, and unlike most people these days (or so it seems) I don't know much about cryptocurrencies but am fascinated by its exponential popularity ... oh and its financial appeal haha! That said, I hope to learn more about it and get a better understanding on how it all fits in. I mean, might as well be a sponge and soak up as much information as I can :)

At the same time, I hope to create a corner to share bits and pieces of my life - expect lots of food, travel pics and ramblings from a 21 year old gal.

ANYWAYS, a lil somethin somethin about me

I'm Australian born but my parents are from Indonesia! Unfortunately they only converse with me in English so I am incredibly terrible at speaking Bahasa Indonesia BUT I can kinda get the gist of conversations. My goal is to learn Bahasa by the end of the year so I can properly speak to my relatives as well as travel to Bali with my friends and be able to speak with the locals :)

I'm entering my fourth year at University, studying marketing and economics. I see myself going down the path of marketing consultancy - particularly looking at how to strategically grow brands by enhancing the customer experience :) At the moment, I work at a market research consultancy firm which has only sparked further interest in the field.

In my spare time, I'm quite active on Instagram and that's mainly because i thoroughly enjoy taking photos and documenting my life as well as looking at other accounts for fashion/photography/places to visit inspiration. I find that photos bring back a rush of memories and capturing these moments in life personally bring me lots of joy.

I'm also trying to be more consistent and motivated at the gym. When work, school and life gets in the way, gym is seen as a chore for me. This is something I want to change. I want it to be a lifestyle and an enjoyable outlet from all the craziness that life offers.

I have 2 key fitness goals:

1. To be able to do one pull up by the end of the year (no assistance!)
2. Be able to squat 35kgs in 2 months

I guess posting here will hold me accountable hahah so thank you Steem!

As I am in my last year and half of university, internships are becoming more and more important. I suppose I would consider myself to be in a competitive bubble where everyone is trying to get more experience and participate in various extracurricular activities as to be seen as more employable. However, there is so much I want to do and experience before working full time and I thought I might as well share and document it with fellow Steemians.

In a few days I'll be travelling to Thailand!!! WOOOOHOOOOO :D Hello buzzing city life and tropical paradise! More posts by me coming your way.

Welcome to my chronicles!

Chels
