Jordan's Bookcase

It's hard to believe that in just two shorts weeks, I will be moving into my new apartment in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It's even harder to believe because I will be on vacation for most of those 2 weeks! There is so much to be done and to prepare for in what feels like so little time. As much as there is to do, I don't think that I have been this excited for something in a long time. I keep telling people I feel like it's the week leading up to Christmas. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, this is what I feel like the last ten years of my life have been building to. My earliest memories of seriously considering becoming a lawyer come from middle school, and now here I am, a mere three weeks away from my first class. It's hard to express all of the different emotions I'm feeling regarding this move. I'm sad, of course, to be moving out of my childhood home for what very well may be the last time. I'm excited at the thought of moving to a new city to p

It's hard to believe that it is already Friday! I feel like I was just writing Monday's post. One of the things that has stayed fairly consistent with my blogging over the years is my Five on Friday post.

I'm moving back home to Chicago from my house in Kentucky *sobs* in just a few short weeks, and then soon I'll be moving up to Wisconsin for law school. I have absolutely no idea where I will be living and don't know if I'll be living with roommates or not, so it has made the apartment search pretty difficult and overwhelming. I know once details start to fall in to place everything will be okay, but for now, I'm scouring the web for affordable and liveable places! 2. Becoming . I'm hoping to finish this book over the weekend becaus

It's hard to believe that it has been so long since I have posted on here. I won't say the break was an intentional decision, but this blog definitely fell to the back burner last summer. A lot has happened since the last time I posted. A brief synopsis would be that I graduated from college with my bachelor's degree and applied to and enrolled in law school. Plenty of stories to share from the last year but I'll be saving those for another time.

I've always been a bit of a reluctant workaholic. I procrastinate and complain constantly while I'm in school with "so much to do" but then when I have nothing to do, I'm beside myself with boredom and the lack of structure. I've been craving a creative outlet, and the logical choice for
