This week I wanted to do something a little different. I\’ve recently read a book (and saw the movie) called: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. All of you Netflix junkies out there may have heard of it, as it was created by Netflix. I came across it one night when Nate wasn\’t […]

It’s the happiest time of the year and I’ve got a lot to be thankful for this year! Living so far from home can definitely be difficult sometimes, especially when I can’t see my family during the holidays. I couldn’t afford to go home for both Christmas and thanksgiving so since I’m going home for

Before I dive into this post, I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who reached out to me after my last post. I wasn\’t expecting the outpouring of love and support, but I appreciate it so much. I feel very loved, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It turns out that it was World Mental Health Day earlier this week, and it made me think of my own struggles with mental health. Ever since I was little, I have dealt with anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. Now, I am not talking about simply wanting everything to look nice and neat all the

I heard it was National Boyfriend day this last Wednesday, and since my boyfriend, Nathan, has been gone all week, I decided this was the perfect opportunity to tell you why my life has gotten so much better since he walked into it. Nate and I have been together for over four years now, and
In this blog post, I want to take some time to brag about my family. I\’m obviously biased, but my family is pretty awesome, and definitely unique. They mean the world to me, and they always come first — no matter what. If my parents have taught me anything, it’s that 1.) you don’t get
