hi,

and welcome to my neck of the internet. i hope you have a nice stay!

starting spring 2019 semester

starting spring 2019 semester

this semester feels so new and different because, well, i feel new and different. i am super excited to share how my mindset changed this semester and how it is going.

if i'm being honest, last semester sucked. i was extremely homesick, trying to figure out my place here at unlv, and navigating through a new life all on my own.

but this semester, it's different. in the best way. i feel so good and confident in my place here, i know that God led me to vegas for a divine purpose and i can see that purpose slowly unfold right before my eyes.

here are some of the (incredibly simple) things that have made me happy:

1. routines

routines are HUGE for me. i'm a planner through and through, so finding new routines make me incredibly happy, it makes it easy to look forward to the upcoming day. every monday and wednesday i eat breakfast after my 7:00am, and watch an episode of Grace and Frankie. its amazing!

2. friendship

i have also found myself falling into a group of support here that i never imagined to be there. i have grown into friendships with girls that help build me up and support my dreams, while i do the same for them! i feel so blessed that i've been able to find these girls to lean on during the hard times.

3. hobbies

i have always been interested in calligraphy, journaling, reading, crocheting... just your average twenty-year old grandma. but recently, i have made specific times to do creative things no matter what is going on in my day. its such a nice release!

4. exercise

i signed up for a $30 for 30 days membership at a gym called TruFusion here in Las Vegas with my friend ashly! and boy, it was an amazing 30 days! i would get so excited waking up and picking out the class i would take that day. i was able to get back into yoga, barre classes, and take so many other amazing classes! i did a class called Fly Gym, which was basically ariel yoga, it was incredible. ashly and i would always go together, its always better working out with someone. ashly would always laugh at me when my back would fart on my mat because of all the sweat, ha!

i'm so excited to see what the rest of this semester has in store for me! i have faith that this semester will continue to be an amazing journey.

thanks for readin',
