It’s crazy to think that at this time just last week I was lounging by the pool in Cancun with a piña colada in my hand. Although going to classes can’t really compare, it’s been nice to be back on campus with all of my friends and back to my normal routine. And since spring has officially begun I’m excited for the temperatures to start warming up and for the trees to grow back their leaves. Fingers crossed it happens sooner rather than later!
I totally forgot to post one of these last weeks, what with Christmas celebrations and getting ready for my trip to South Florida, the week came and went. But I’m back in full force this week and I’m happy to announce that the first week of 2015 has been filled with laughs and sunshine for me! I only got to spend three and a half days in Florida but I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to visit my childhood stomping grounds and we made sure to keep busy while down there.
Can y’all believe that there’s only four more days until Christmas?! I’ve gotten all of my shopping done and now all I have to do is wrap and put the gifts under the tree. It hasn’t been cold enough down here but it snowed yesterday in Winston-Salem, so I can only imagine what the rest of winter has in store for us when school starts again!
Sorry that I haven’t been as active this week, exams really got the best of me! But now I’m back at home for the next month and I don’t have to worry about school or tests or anything other than how I’m going to spend my day (which has so far consisted of me sleeping in far too late). So, without further ado, here are my top five moments from hell finals week!
I’ve been doing a lot of driving this past week but I’m finally bunked back into my normal spot in the library back at school. While the drive home and back is long (~5.5 hours), I’ve always enjoyed roadtrips and at each destination I always have loved ones waiting for me to arrive. Since leaving for college, I’ve realized just how big my ‘family’ has gotten over the past 21 years and I’m truly thankful for my actual family and my friends who continually support me when I’m at my happiest, when I’m at my lowest, and everything in between. What I’m not super pumped for, however, is how much work I have due for university in the next two weeks. But, again, I’ve realized that I have to take a step back sometimes and remember just how blessed I am to be able to attend such a wonderful university and continue my education, when so few people in the world have the same opportunity.
