As I sent my sister off to her first day of 8th grade this morning, I had to accept that summer is really coming to an end. I still don’t understand how time has flown by so fast but it really has been an eventful few months. Instead of going through my usual apology for disappearing, I’ve decided to share a few of my summer highlights and hope that you understand why I’ve been away.
I guess I should start with my now customary apology for being MIA. I severely underestimated how trying this academic year would be. I have never been so physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. With that said, I’ve also never had so much fun. This year has been full of incredible highs and the lowest lows. As most of you know, I recently lost Miloand I’m still adjusting to my new normal.…
In loving memory of a life well lived and a dog so loved.
I wasn’t always Milo’s favorite. He spent his first week with us following my sister around and crying for his parents. When he realized that he was stuck with us (and after a considerable amount of bribing), Milo decided that I was his best friend. From then on he became my shadow. You could always find him by my side and he wouldn’t…
I really wish I had an elaborate excuse for being MIA. In all honesty, life just got very busy and blogging took a backseat. This semester has been crazy and I’m still not quite sure how I’ve made it through. Here’s a quick recap of what you’ve missed.
University
Don’t let this picture fool you. I’ve spent most of this semester on the verge of tears in the library. 4th year insists on destroying my…
Remember when I promised that I was going to be posting regularly? Well, I seriously underestimated how busy my summer would be. Life has been crazy and blogging has taken a backseat. Things will (hopefully) be calming down soon. For now, here’s an update on what’s been going on.
Internship
In the words of Veronica Farah, my internship is “amazing and exhausting and terrifying and exhilarating.”…
Third year is finally over! I wish I could say that I enjoyed this year but that would be a lie. Most of the time, I didn’t know what I was doing and the universe seemed to be against me. Even though the year wasn’t good to me, I like to think that it was good for me. Through the breakdowns, stress, and lost relationships, I learned a lot. Here are my top 5 lessons.
Background At this point, my life should actually be a tv show. A couple of weeks ago, my ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend randomly messaged me. They’ve officially been together for a few months and everything seems to be going well. I’ve never met her nor have I felt the need to talk to her, so I was really surprised when she basically asked for my blessing and said that she hoped that we could be…
Let me start off with an apology. I’m so sorry for not posting in a while. Life has been crazy. The end of the semester hit me like a ton of bricks and I’ve been struggling. Because of that, this isn’t going to be the longest post. I’m still in the middle of two big deadlines but figured that I should at least check in and let y’all know what I’ve been up to. Hopefully, you’re all less stressed…
It’s a book about bad dates, good friends and – above all else – about recognising that you and you alone are enough. If you read The Verge of 21, you know that one of my goals is to read more books for fun. My IR readings and essays basically take over my life during the semester so I rarely have time to read anything else. Now that spring break has finally arrived, I’ve given myself a break…
