About ATC.

Amber Takes the City (ATC) was launched in the early Fall of 2011, de-launched mid Fall 2011, and then re-launched in November of 2011. I can't help it, I'm indecisive! Amber Takes the City is my personal blog, where I share my personal experiences, thoughts, and happenings of my life. I hope to use this blog to inspire others to pursue their dreams and to live a life full of bursting ambition.

When Did It All Begin?

I first started blogging in junior high for no reason in particular. I had numerous blogs, with numerous silly teenage girl names on numerous blog platforms and I loved it. Blogging has allowed me an outlet to do two of my favorite things: talk and write! Writing and the use of words have always been a huge part of my life; as has talking. So now that I'm in college, I figured blogging would be a great way to practice my passions as well as sharing and reflecting on my life experiences.

What's In a Name?

No matter how hard my parents have drilled the pro's of suburban life into my brain, I will always be a city girl at heart (and a Jersey girl as well!) Moving to the city for school was a major decision of my life, and I haven't regretted it thus far. I wanted my blog to reflect the state of mind, and life, I was currently in, and the city just seemed to be the perfect symbol. I also knew I would be chronicling my time in school and my journey into the PR/Journalism business. Thus, Amber Takes the City was born.
