As my days at the ILC are winding down (*tears*), this will be my final installment of my "day in the life of an intern" post series. Let me forewarn you that I did an absolutely terrible job at remembering to take pictures of what I was doing on this day, so I apologize for … Continue reading A Day in the Life of an Intern: Monday, November 18
When I left France in June, I was sad for a multitude of reasons. Leaving meant hitting the "restart" button on L and I's long-distance status. I was saying goodbye to my belle-famille until Christmastime. I was seeing some of my students for the last time before they graduated - before they moved on to … Continue reading Homesick
Tonight I broke a cardinal rule - I got into a car with a stranger (sorry, mom and dad!) Let me give you some context. Out of a press for time and a major lack of groceries, I found myself pursuing the aisles of Aldi on a Saturday night. I had checked out and packed … Continue reading A Random Act of Kindness

This past weekend, my worlds truly collided. V, my best friend from elementary school, and my best friend from high school (I truly don't know if I've ever given her a name on the blog, but I'll say Lish from now on) met for the first time and the three of us spent an awesome … Continue reading Where the Wind Takes Us
Happy October, everybody! I hope your days are being filled with all the glorious fall things. There are only 73 days until graduation (but who's counting?) and only 3 more months to accomplish my 2019 goals and intentions. With that being said, let's get into my recap of my August and September goals. Grad School … Continue reading Grad School Goals & Life Updates: October
Y'all. A dream of mine came true this past weekend. Its 2019 and I went to a Jonas Brothers concert. My middle school self was absolutely thriving. Even more so, I went to the concert with my best friend and we rocked out H A R D. Here's a recap of my weekend spent in … Continue reading Happiness Begins
I had every intention of writing a solid blog this week. I had it all planned out. On the train ride up to Chicago this weekend (details about this trip in the next blog), I'd be inspired and do my best writing of all time. In a turn of events, I had a friend reach … Continue reading I’m Here.
