Finals are approaching at warp speed (next week, AHH!) and I have a multitude of color-coded to-do lists in my planner and on my laptop. To say that I'm going to stretched a bit thin in these next two weeks would be quite the understatement. There is SO much going on and prioritizing has been especially difficult, because everything is important in its own way. However, focusing on academics and maintaining good health are always top priorities. While scrolling through Pinterest yesterday …

Monogram Pillow Giveaway
I can't believe that the school year is almost over. Next week is my last week of classes and then it's time for finals!

With that in mind, I'm super …

I’m on a Boat! ~ Sigma Chi Formal
On April 5th I was able to attend Sigma Chi's formal with one of my best friends, Connor.

Tell ‘Em That It’s My Birthday
