The Grand Old Party

Creating a blog is seriously a long time coming. I didn't want to do another fashion blog or lifestyle blog. I already religiously follow ChicagoPrepster, sCe, and theCollegePrepster so why try to enter that world when I know I can't compete with their fabulousness. Also, I don't love fashion. Albeit, I love J.Crew and Lilly Pulitzer, but I definitely don't have that fashion knack to put outfits together (besides pairing colored Chinos to a different colored v-neck and some Sperry's). But I do have a passion for politics.

Hi! I'm Morgan, a 24-year-old post grad who has an obsession for baking champagne cupcakes, my little dog, Captain Barkley, and the Grand Old Party. I was born in New Orleans (who dat), then lived right outside of Fort Bragg, grew up in Midland, Michigan and then moved myself down to Florida to finish school and work at Disney World. A lot has changed in the past five years, but my beliefs haven't, honestly they have only gotten stronger.

Being a member of the UCF College Republicans has really made me into the republican that I am today. Discussing politics is fun, to me of course, and being able to debate issues is even better. Belonging to a group that shares a lot of the same beliefs that I do really made me want to expand my "political circle." So that's how this blog happened...

I went with the GOPrep because you can take it two different ways..."GOP - prep" or "GOP representative." I feel like I am both. I have my preppy edge in my everyday wardrobe and try to uphold southern belle standards in everything I do. But I also feel like I am a great representative of the Republican party. Either way, I support the Republican National Committee and the College Republican National Committee as much as I can (so go get the CRNC Vineyard Vines tote...it's for a great cause and it's pretty much the best bag money can buy and then we can match, obviously).

Please let me know what topics you want me to discuss in the next few posts. My next will definitely be about being a conservative at a mostly liberal school and I would love to hear your thoughts!

I love to interact with my followers, so follow me on twitter, pinterest, and instagram!
