Well, the Spring semester of my Sophomore year of college is coming to a close. It has been a tough year, emotionally and physically. I've had a lot of ups and downs with my closest friends, and am being thrilled to say they are still my closest friends (yes we made it through all the drama and chaos). My classes were challenging. I am in no ways a history person, and being in a history class is probably the worst part of my week. But I made it, and thankfully, my teacher does not believe in final exams so I'm heading into summer history free!

However, I have one main thought that I want to share. Many people who know me already know this, but I have always (and I mean always) struggled with my weight and appearance. Freshman year was my own personal hell. I gained roughly 30 pounds. I'm obviously not thrilled about this, but here is where my good news comes in! While I have not lost all the weight I gained over the course of my first year in college, I have lost about half. Okay, some of you may say "Wow thats not a big deal". But I won't be the first to tell you it is. Because on top of losing some weight, I maintained that and didn't gain anything back. Maintaining weight is probably the hardest thing bout trying to get in shape, and I'm super proud to say I did that.

So yeah. I'm not super skinny, but I'm happy. I'm happy with my progress, I'm happy with how my semester went. I'm just happy.

I hope everyone enjoys their well earned summer off. See you all in August!!
