Polka Dots //


 I decided to put on these purple polka pants from American Eagle I had gotten last fall! I'm not really sure why I haven't worn them, because they're so cute and springy! Well, today was my last day of classes for the semester and I have 2 exams next week! It's crazy how fast time flies.. I'm excited to go home for the summer, but I'm going to miss all my friends I've met at school!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! :)

Summer, is that you?

Well, it's finally starting to look a little like summer out there... At least yesterday it did. Haha I guess that's what I get for living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. But, i'm not going to complain, it is so beautiful here, I seriously take for granted how amazing it is that I get to live in such an amazing place. Yesterday I went for a run along the shore and snapped this picture, can you say gorgeouuuussss?!
 



I am trying to slow down my life a little bit.. I've been realizing that life is way too short to be rushing every single day of my life.. My parent's friends little boy Brody passed away last week from a amazing fight against Glioblastoma, it breaks my heart for their whole family.. This also kind of helped me realize that even when I think I'm having a "bad" day.. things could be worse. I'm healthy, I get to go to college, my family is healthy.. that's all that matters. Remember that the next time you think you're day is "bad". My physiology teacher is also helping me come in tune with myself and our world. Through her amazing teaching, I am getting to not only learn about the amazing human body, and the wonderful things our tiny little bodies do every second/day, I am getting to learn great life lessons from this amazing woman. She has her PhD in Physiological sciences and her main focus was the effects on the brain from menopause. I plan on being an OB/GYN nurse, so this chapter learning about the female reproductive system has been very interesting to me and the fact that she has so much knowledge on this is very helpful! Our bodies are amazing! Don't forget to tell yourself that you are a beautiful human being..

I'm hoping to start posting more now that I will be done with school for the year.. crazy right!? This year flew by, I cant believe I will be applying to the nursing program in October! (fingers crossed I get in!!!!) I'm thinking about starting to do some outfit posts. I will probably only start out with 1 a week, but hey its something, right? Well, for all of you college kids like me, good luck with finals, and safe travels back home, or wherever you are headed for the summer!!
