First of all, welcome! Whether you’re a fellow blind/visually impaired student, or you’re a sighted person that’s curious about the life of a blind student, you are more than welcome here. I try to stay consistent on here and stay updated, but I wanted to address some things that may be helpful to you.

Things to Keep in Mind
1. I have a few other blogs (most of them blindness related), which you can check out at my Other Blogs page.
2. If you haven’t already noticed, I like to write in large print and bold. I do this because it’s easier on the eyes, whether or not you’re visually impared. It’s part of my way to make Tumblr accessible! Feel free to “steal” my formats, I don’t mind. If it helps someone, then that’s great!
3. Also note that I don’t use a lot of pictures/images/graphics/visuals. I will post them sometimes, but I can’t guarantee that they will be any good. Instead, I try to add descriptions of my desk, or my journal layouts, or the weather, or whatever. This allows me to incorporate sounds and smells as well, so…yeah.
4. I use a lot of abbreviations, such as BVI (blind or visually impaired, VIP (visually impaired person), and stuff like that. I’ll usually clarify if it’s one I don’t use often, but these are the main ones I use.
5. While I do post a lot of original content, I still include academic stuff that may have nothing to do with blindness. I am a choral music student, so I do post about that, and I’m a bit of a nerd and love chemistry, literature, history and such, so I will include that here, because I really believe that, as a blind person, we should still have interests that may have nothing to do with blindness.
6. Oh, and I am a devout Catholic. It comes up in practically every aspect of my life, I do have a seperate blog for all my Catholic posts, but don’t be surprised if I mention it here and there.
Oh, and for my fellow VIPs…

2. Avatar is a picture of my hand running along a line of braille.
3. I try to make all my posts large print, but I can’t really do that with reblogs, so I’m going to label those as #small print
