First of all, I would love to congratulate the winner of my 1 Year Giveaway! They have already been contacted. For the others that were not chosen from the jar, fret not. There will be other giveaways in the future!
This time of year tends to be extremely busy for everyone. Freshman are moving into dorms, people are moving into new apartments, houses, or even moving out of state! I just moved into my new apartment and I still feel like I’m not fully unpacked yet. With all of the commotion and craziness that comes with moving, I thought I’d share a few tips for your move to hopefully make it a little simpler. I’ve included two pictures of my new apartment as a little sneak peek! (more…)

It doesn’t take much to make me happy. I try to be a fun-loving and light hearted individual as much as I can. I appreciate the little things in life and love to cherish the fleeting moments throughout the day. One of these little things that makes me so happy, is something that I don’t feel we do enough anymore. It’s nothing elaborate by any means, but its something that will brighten my day, no matter how I may be feeling at the time. 
Anyone that knows me, even a little bit better than acquaintances, will know that animals are my life. I love everything about them, am in studies aspiring to become a veterinarian, and jump at any chance to spend time with a furry friend. With that being said, never did I imagine taking on the responsibility of a pet until after my college years with the exception of a fish. Earlier in the semester, my whole life has taken a change, and I couldn’t be any happier. 
I’m realizing slowly that I’m falling way behind on keeping up with writing [I’ve got adventures from before what I’m writing about now to cover still…oops]. Writing is one of the ways that I relax and unwind. I have had a few busy weeks, not to mention I’m stuck on island time. I escaped the foothills and went back to the sea for spring break. By far, this has been the best spring break that I’ve ever been on and I wish every second that I could go back. Keep on reading to get a glimpse into what we did for spring break! 
In the midst of midterm exams, work, spring break anticipation, and so much more, one can’t help but get overwhelmed, stressed, discouraged, and antsy. This is precisely what I have been going through the past few weeks; throw in some drama and grey weather, it is definitely easy to find yourself in a slump. One way that I keep myself going throughout the day is through words. More specifically, quotes and lyrics that have significant meaning, or even quotes that are just enough to keep me moving along and motivated. 
Two weekends ago, I completed one of my 2016 bucket list goals, visiting Atlanta! One of my best friends, Alex, lives in Atlanta and I went to visit her for the weekend! 
I used a Disney reference for the title of this post, but in all honesty, I have never actually liked the cold. That is…until I got to experience the magic of snow!!! [Truly life changing experience when it comes to my adoration of winter.] 
2015 was definitely a great year, but as great as it was, I am definitely excited for 2016! I previously wrote about the things that I want to accomplish or places that I want to go in 2016, but wanted to write about my 2015 experiences, since I had so many experiences in 2015 that I never want to forget!
