Fresh Start

I think of myself as a very poor writer and have never really thought i would be writing a blog. The reason for me writing is to improve my writing style and as i write i can get everyones feedback on my style. I am not well with grammar and don't know too many fancy words i could use in sentences, unless i have a online or MS Words Thesaurus open in another window. And whenever i do write, i think a lot before writing a sentence, if i complete a sentence i go back and edit it, make changes to it, think how it would sound, if this sentence should be put differently. In short, i take a long time to write. Even in college, i would take 3-4 hrs just to complete 1 paper. Is this normal or am i too conscious? Even as i am writing this i have add/deleted and taken up almost 10 mins to just finish this much. Whatever may the case be, I would really like to get some suggestions on how i could improve. So, thanks.
I have been thinking about writing and creating a blog for a while, but don't exactly know what i should be writing about. I don't even know what blogs are. But i have decided i would write about my opinion on current issues, sports, past, philosophy, etc. whatever comes in mind. Well let me tell you a little about myself first. I chose this specific title as it's literary a new start for me in life.
I just completed my undergraduate studies in Marketing and International Business and am currently getting involved our family owned businesses. Having completed my studies in the States, i never gave a fcuk about settling down there for the rest of my life. I had always wanted to come back and do something in or for India. Although my parents wanted me to work there, get a green card, and eventually, a dual citizenship. My parents asked me to get some experience for a year and then come back to India, if not for dual. Well, I didn't see a point in wasting a year working for a company where i would go 325 days and learn nothing but be just following orders and then quitting even before i am eligible for a raise and able to learn something meaningfull about the business. I didn't mind getting a job, but i wanted to work for a MNC, and that too more than a year to get to the right position. Anyways, a very life changing incident occurred during my last semester, and i did loose almost close to a year due to that, and those who know me are aware of how harsh the last year has been for me.
During my college years, all i did was hang out with friends, partied, drank and drink even more. My first 3 yrs, i studied hard and enjoyed at the same time, but my last 2, things really fell apart(i was into a lot of shit) and even started taking studies for granted by then. But past is past and that was COLLEGE to me(good ol' time, the best). I know those years won't be coming back. Will they? So, why give a damn about it! Besides school, i learnt of other things in life during those years. I regret some of my actions i have taken in the past and opportunities that i've missed, but not all the experience i got of being there, meeting new ppl., learning new things constantly, and all the time i spent with the people whose company i enjoyed. I met some wonderful people during those years and would say they were by far my best 5 yrs till now, which taught me a lot. Be it about Life, Different People and their behaviour(mean and nice), Staying away from home, and mostly about Sex & Relationship(s).LOL... By the end of 5th year, that specific chapter of my life was about to end. Though, leaving me clueless about the future, a new one was about to unfold.
