Two Weeks Until Milwaukee

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 pursue my ultimate dream. I'm anxious about the workload coming my way, and the thought of my new lifestyle.

However, the excitement overshadows any negative or anxious feelings I have towards this move. This leads me to believe that I'm truly following the path that was made for me. During the past couple of weeks, it wasn't uncommon for me to suddenly feel overwhelmed with gratitude for where I am in my life right now. I just came off of my best year yet at a school I never thought I could love as much as a do, and I'm headed to a beautiful apartment in an amazing city to start my first year of law school.

It all seems so surreal.

Nothing Like a Fresh Start

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. Photo by   Dominika Roseclay  from  Pexels I've been out of classes for close to a month now, and now that graduation festivities have finally died down and I've recovered from Senior Week, I'm bored. 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...

Five on Friday

I used to do this series almost weekly when I had my old blog, and I really liked being able to share a few random things each week. 1. This week was Rush Week for my Co-Ed Fraternity, and as Vice President of Membership, you can imagine that at times it was a little stressful. This semester we weren't expecting a huge pledge class (I had to majorly adjust my expectations after I set them much too high in the Fall Semester). I managed to get through the week pretty painlessly. 2. I got a couple of new pairs of jeans in from Abercrombie (Don't judge, they have the best jeans and fit me so well!) and am so obsessed with them! They're both on sale for under $40 right now. I got this distressed pair of boyfriend jeans in a size 27short, and this pair of ankle skinny jeans in a 28short. (I'm 5'5" and the "short" always look more flattering on me) 3. I've been having a really rough time falling asleep recently. Usually, I'm out befo...

5 random facts about me

Since I'm just starting out on this blog, I thought I would share 5 super random facts about me! You can learn more on my " about me " page, but I thought five random facts would be a fun way to introduce myself today. I'm a huge Chicago Blackhawks fan, and pride myself in being pretty knowledgable when it comes to Hockey as a sport. However, when it comes to other sports, I'd like to say I have a basic knowledge or understanding of the rules, but I may be giving myself too much credit in saying even that. The only country I've traveled to outside of the United States in Canada, but I love visiting there! I have family outside of Toronto, and have also visited Niagra Falls. It's one of my goals in the next few years to slowly explore more of the country with my family. In case you couldn't tell by my first two facts, my house is a total Winter Sport house (Can't wait for the Winter Olympics to begin next week!). We love to ski, snowm...
