May 22.

Nearing the end of my undergrad career and it feels so surreal! My department graduation is this Saturday and the big grad is next Tuesday!! It doesn’t feel like it’s happening, but it is. Such a bittersweet ending for me. Loved this chapter of my life.

Last semester of college! Excited, but tons of other emotions.

This is such a weird point in my life, so much insecurity, anxiety, and mystery for the future.

I’ve also been feeling restless, unfocused, and unsettled lately. For these reasons, it’s time for some soul searching.

Going back to my roots to help clear my mind —creativity (writing, singing) and trying to get back into daily physical activity.

as you get older, you realize that you’re not always right and there’s so many things you could’ve handled better, so many situations where you could’ve been kinder and all you can really do is forgive yourself and let your mistakes make you a better person.

December 12.

Although it’s not completely over yet, I wanted to take some time to talk about the whirlwind of a semester I’ve had. Honestly, I’ve never been so busy in my entire life! Things were just happening back to back to back. I genuinely feel like I didn’t even have a break for myself, and my planner shows it too! I learned that I’m not one to thrive off of a jam packed schedule as I’d seen others do in the past. I need breaks and time for self care. 

There was a point in October, I would say for the most of the month on and off I would cry every day. The stress and the lack of a rest or a break broke me and my mental health. I had never experienced anything like that before. 

Now in November and December, I’ve been able to decrease my work load and time commitments to make time for myself. And next semester, I am definitely making extra time to focus on myself and my physical health. 

I know how to handle the stress a little better this time around, which is really great. This stress acne is killing me also. I finally have a skin care routine going, so I know it’s stress acne for sure because I’m actually being consistent with things. 

Interested to see what grades I’m getting this semester. I worked very hard in one of my classes particularly and feel that I deserve an A - there’s one paper left, so I’m gonna make sure that it has my best work. That class showed me that if i work hard, I can accomplish anything I want to :) 

Slowly but surely started becoming less involved with my sorority. Which is a bummer because I was enjoying it, but it was honestly necessary if I wanted to get my shit together. Hoping that I can still be somewhat active next semester. 

I’m very excited for this semester to end. Don’t get me wrong, the year as a whole was amazing. I’m just very ready to start a new leaf in 2019. My schedule is going to be open! I’m gonna be starting a new internship. I’m going to make health a priority. I can feel the changes waiting for me to get started so I’m excited!!

I miss when I had time to write about my days! I want to bring that back for my last semester. At first I thought it was cheesy, but as my collegiate career is coming to a close, it’s cool to look back and see what I was up to.

I want to be able to touch people with the power of my thoughts and words.

Soon you’ll realize that many people will love the idea of you but will lack the maturity to handle the reality of you.

Self-love is a process. It will require time. It will require patience. It will require change, solitude, pain and everything that isn’t much pretty in this life. But in the end, it will be worth it. It will be beautiful. It will be you.

Week 1/Fall 2018

This semester is going to be ridiculously busy!

I want to focus on my grades this semester and I’m taking 2 of the hardest classes my collegiate career. I really want to get straight A’s and I know if I push myself, anything is possible! I just have to be willing.

Sorority stuff is all happening within these next two weeks and that’s going to have me extremely busy, especially when I take a little!

I know this semester is going to be tough, but I’m still excited for what’s to come and I know there’s going to be so much growth by the end of it.
