Blooming through experience. Memories through adventure.
For the past twelve weeks, I have had the honor of interning with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Jasper and Newton Counties. I worked with them for a class project during the spring semester, and they needed an intern over the summer, so I decided to stay! This was a wonderful experience, and it was [...]
2018 was a year that changed my life. I traveled a lot, went vegan, got married, saw my favorite band in concert, fell in love with reading again, made friends and lost them, created many beautiful memories, and struggled a lot with mental health. There are so many wonderful things that I'll always look back [...]
Usually at the end of every semester, I write out a list of things I learned during the course of the last few months. This semester is different, though. I've been in school for two and a half years now and I've never encountered a semester as difficult as this one. My first semester was [...]
So I think technically I just finished my fourth semester of college? But my Disney College Program doesn't really count because I only took one class so I'm just going to say that spring 2018 was my third semester at Missouri Southern State University. And boy, was it a life-changing one. I learned a lot [...]
Sunday June 5 On Sunday morning, we woke up and ate our last breakfast at the hotel. I said goodbye to the delicious bread and vegan butter, and of course my lovely hot chocolate. All of us Americans gathered all our stuff out of our rooms and loaded up downstairs to check out. We said [...]
Sunday, May 28 Sunday morning and afternoon was a free day, and I’m such a morning person I didn’t want to sleep in and waste half the day, so after breakfast, Shelby and I set out to explore some more of Ansbach. We went to the gardens not far from our hotel and walked around [...]
Saturday, May 27 For our first full day in Germany, we had such a packed schedule planned! We started out our morning with free breakfast from the hotel, and it was so tasty! The bread in the picture was delicious and I may have had three rolls. The vegan butter was also really good! Then [...]
I can't believe another semester has already come and gone. While things mostly look the same as they did when my last semester ended, they feel so different inside. I have grown so much the past few months- in my faith, strength, and health. I've accomplished so much, have made new friends, somehow maintained my [...]
It's been hitting me pretty hard lately how the end of the semester coming up means the end of this chapter of my life. Don't get me wrong, I am very excited for the summer and next semester and everything exciting I have coming up, but I'm getting sentimental about closing this door and things [...]
