…aaand we’re back!<\/p>\n

It’s been a while since I last blogged, so I figured I’d just tell you guys what I’ve been up to, as well as what the my blog platform will look like this year! <\/p>\n

First, I am a senior now- crazyyy! I am also student body president, which still blows my mind to say out loud, but I’m honestly still the same Maleigh! I feel like coming into this year I almost felt like I had to “redefine myself,” but I quickly realized that is quite okay to just be me! <\/p>\n

However, my blogging style will be getting a makeover. Instead of posting journalism or informational type blogs, I will be using this platform to talk more about me and my life. There won’t be quite as many series, and my posting will be more sporadic, but on the last Friday of each month, I will post some sort of literary review, so look forward to those! But as for every other week, you can just expect more about me. Last year when the pandemic hit, things were hard, and I had to sort of go off schedule and off plan, and it proved to be very difficult for me, so I want to challenge myself this year to just write- no rhyme or reason needed.  <\/p>\n

So, the last time you heard from me, I was reflecting and saying my goodbyes, but in these last few months, I’ve done quite a lot, so I’ll include some photos of what my life has looked like in this pandemic. <\/p>\n

\"\"
I was so super grateful!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I won a few awards for my writing (not sure why I am holding it like a baby)!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
I spent a lot of time with my silly kitty, Manny!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
I became pen pals with most of my MSA family to pass the quarantine time, and I must say letter writing is a lost art form!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"
I hung \ud83d\ude09 out in this super comfy hammock!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"
I went to “prom”!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That’s pretty much what I did during quarantine! I did a lot of cooking and baking too, but I didn’t have any photos that. How did you guys pass time while at home? Let me know in the comments!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
