Happy Sunday!

When I was younger, I never explored my city. This was mostly because I couldn’t drive until I graduated, and all we ever wanted to do as teenagers was meet up on the street near our school and feel like we were actually doing something.

The first half of 2015 was the best time of my entire life thus far as I spent a semester abroad in London. I believed my summer and fall semester would follow suit. It’s not that positive things did not happen, but it was definitely more challenging and, frankly, exhausting. Still, the events of last year have made me feel that it was overall a preparation year for what’s to come in 2016. Continue reading “Starting Anew”
