The Arrival

Haphazardly wiping the tears from my face, I sniff loudly as I text my friend back, "Yeah I'm in Terminal 2 right now and just dropped my family off.

Also I like...just cried, so ignore my face."

My 2016 Reflection

As the time changes to 12:00:01 am of January 1, 2017, and people around the world cheer, kiss, and hug those around them, we end the year 2016 and begin the first day of 2017.

2016 has been a year of loss, discovery, self-love, and passion. As cliche and overused as the "book" and "life" metaphor is...this chapter in my life has come to a close but I'm excited to start writing the next one. 2016 was the year that had me crying, discovering, traveling, stressing, and creating. I went through so many emotional roller coasters this past year, but everything happens for a reason and I know that I am stronger today because of it. 

One Quarter + Lessons Learned

It's hard to believe that my first quarter of college is officially over. I went through the most stress that I have ever endured last week, slaving over my copious amount of notes (note to self: STOP WRITING SO MANY NOTES), and constantly reminding myself that I had to get a 4.0, I just absolutely had to (no I didn't). Now that that is over and I most definitely do not have a 4.0, I'm finally on winter break! 

I grew a lot over the past few months, and I thought I'd use this post to talk about some of the lessons that have helped me.
