Hey… It’s Me

Hi, 

So I know I haven’t posted in while, but I made it a goal to post a life update blog this week, so here I am 🙂 

Life has been a roller coaster since I last posted… in January. 

As I write this, I am sitting in a crowded hallway as we wait, uncomfortably, to be told to return to class, and I can’t help but cherish this moment, every ounce of it: the dirty hardwood floors, the sirens, the concerned faces. This might be the very last time I sit in confinement with the people I’ve blissfully shared the past two years with. 

As I embark upon this next chapter of life, I am filled with so much gratitude and warmth for these people around me. I have nothing but fond memories with these people, and I think it’s a blessing to have gotten this experience. 

Today, I committed to Loyola University New Orleans, and I am so excited. Everything that’s happened in the last year has allowed me to grow so much, and I have learned so many lessons about life, but this is only the beginning. 

Below is my vision board for the year that I made earlier in the year:

I normally would’ve posted this earlier, but with my blog hiatus, I never go around to it. I look back it often to hold myself accountable and to also remind myself to stay humble, be brave, keep going, and to take care of myself. 

I hope you all are doing the same. 

XOXO,
