This summer has been hectic to say the least. I feel like I got home from finishing spring semester not that long ago. Yet, here it is August and time to pack up to move back to Starkville.

I enjoyed finally being home again for over 3 weeks! It truly is nice to be at home and not live out of the bags you brought home from college like you do during winter break! I took a lot of time for myself and got back into doing things I love to do at home as well as trying out newly opened places.

I took two summer classes, which I can say I would recommend to anyone who wants to get ahead or simply lighten their schedule for the next semester. Sure having work to do in the summer is not the most fun, but doing so pays off.

I also worked a job which kept me even busier! You may be wondering with all that was going on what made this summer so good?

To that I say, what made it great was the peace I had while midst of a busy summer. Though busy I felt aware of God's presence and felt equipped to handle everything even when it was tough.

All in all this summer was one I really enjoyed. I truly learned how to let go of my struggles and fears and trust in what God had planned for me. I can't wait for my sophomore year to begin and am excited for what is to come.
