Spring break here I come!
Hello Blog! I made it! I’ve finished my last classes before spring break, and I will not lie, it has been such a long stretch this semester without a break.

Sea, Sickness, and Study Spots!
Hello Blog! Welcome back to another alliteratively-titled post! As the title suggests, I’ve been recovering from a cold so apologies for the delayed post. I have to say, one great thing about living close to campus is that I can go home when I’m feeling sick. My brief stay also overlapped with my little brother’s February break so we got…
Work Hard Play Hard 😤
