This semester has brought a lot of changes. It's been filled with long, exhausting hours of homework. It's been rich in laughter and memories in the making.

Looking back on the last few months, I'm amazed at the goodness of God. He is so faithful to provide, and His plan is far greater than anything I could ever think of on my own.

This semester has been hard. This season of life has brought various struggles. But God is good. He is true. He is present.

From the beginning of semester to now, I've grown in my relationship with Christ in new ways. He is continuing to teach me what it means to be fully dependent on Him. I am so grateful for this, and I am so grateful for the people God has placed in my life to help model what leading a Christ-centered life looks like.


School-wise, this semester has been challenging. As I am finishing up gen-ed classes and getting more into my major, I'm being stretched in new ways. Writing intensive courses have expanded my ability to think outside the box and express my thoughts on paper.

Additionally, I've been tediously trying to navigate what career path I'd like to pursue. However, I'm not sure I've gained much more direction than I had at the beginning of the semester. I'm still trusting that the Lord will reveal this to me in His timing, though!

As of now, I am looking more into the teaching route. I am still keeping my options open, but with graduation approaching quicker than I'd like to admit, I'm continuing to research.


Through everything this semester, I am unbelievably grateful for my support system consisting primarily of my family and my friends.

They continue to push me to be better, listen to me complain, encourage me when I feel I have nothing left to give, and so much more.

So, thank you to all who have helped me to get where I am now.


Now that I've written down all these thoughts, it's time to start looking ahead to finals.

Then, break.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
