#1 Welcome to my blog!

Hi everybody!

So, welcome again. I should start with introducing myself and my blog, so here it comes:

I'm Iiris, an 18-year-old girl from Finland. My life is going to change a lot, since I'm moving to The United States of America and I'll start studying in Northern State University, as an undergraduate student, majoring in International Business. I'll do the whole degree (which lasts for 4 years). Northern State University is located in South Dakota, in the city of Aberdeen.

You might wonder, where does my blog's name come from. Northern State University's mascot is a wolf, and its students are called as "wolves", so I'm going to be a little wolf. And a little one because I'm only 160 cm tall (5'2''). The prairie could be explained with googling "south dakota prairie". Yup, there's a lot of prairie in South Dakota. So, now you know the roots of the name "Little Wolf on the Prairie".

I decided to start a blog of my American experience because I love writing and I'd love to share my thoughts and experiences with the people interested in hearing of my student life in America. I'll probably continue writing in English, but I can also translate some of the texts into Finnish, if requested.

And what I'm going to write about?
I'm going to write you about the highlights of my everyday student life. Studying, making new friends, partying, enjoying the American life... If you got interested, continue reading my blog by checking the upcoming new posts. I'll try to write as often as I can, but at least once in a week. All positive comments are welcomed :)

See you soon!
