I don't know about you, but there are certainly mornings when I really do not want to leave my comfy bed. This is especially an issue during the summer when my time is not quite as structured as it is during the school year. When I get up earlier I tend to feel much more accomplished, because at the end of a long day I know I've gotten more done than I would have on a day that I sleep in late. Now, I must admit that I'm a morning person, but sometimes I still need a little help waking up. I …

Moving On Out
I am so happy that finals week is over and that I've been able to sleep in my bed at home these last few nights. I forgot how good it feels to sleep in! It's been wonderful to just de-stress these last few days. I'm officially all moved out of my dorm as of Tuesday evening and mostly all unpacked at home as of yesterday morning. (There's still a box or two to go through and organize.) Move out was crazy. My roommate and I decided to stay up for our last 24 hours on campus and we were able to …
Rising Sophomore
I can't believe it, I really can't.Freshman year has flown by in the blink of an eye, and it's officially over. I took my last final as a freshman yesterday and my roommate, Ola, and I move out of our dorm this evening. Even as I type this post, surrounded by packed suitcases and my now-bare walls, it's crazy to believe we're leaving this room which we've called home for the last few months... in just a few hours.This year has been filled with so many different emotions. It's been such a blast, …
Love is a Verb
A few of my friends from high school and I were lucky enough to be invited to our teacher's wedding, downtown, this weekend. One thing that really stood out to me during the sermon was the phrase: "Love is not a feeling, it is a verb."I thought this was very profound as well as being a wonderful reminder that relationships require effort. Congratulations Tim & Mandy, we wish you many joyful years together. Thank you so much for letting us share your special day with you!~ What I Wore …
