life now

what a crazy semester i've had!

i just went and read back some of my old blogs and wow! i had no idea the kind of semester i was about to get myself into lol. this has probably been the most stressful and hurtful period of life i've experienced in a very very very long time. i've had some fallouts with friends, low money coming in, stressful assignments, random and extremely inconvenient car problems, a false alarm ER visit (actually, if you total the amount of times i had to take my roommate to the ER we're up to 3 total visits), and just some overall very frustrating and annoying situations pop up at the worst times.

i've felt strained, fried, diminished, burnt out, heartbroken, and overall pretty nasty for most of this semester! it's coming to a close though and i didn't realize how much of a break i've needed until now. 

while all of this has been going on though, ive made some new friends, gotten closer to my partner and her family, and got to work on my super cool and awesome capstone that im soooo excited to make, and overall come to appreciate the smaller things in life as cheesy as that sounds.

despite it all, im grateful to be alive and healthy and be surrounded by as many amazing people as i am. 

i hope to be a bit more active on this now as winter break rolls around. happy thanksgiving team and love u all!
