Midterms Got the Best of You?
Hi blog! It’s that time of the year when midterms start getting doled out, stress-levels rise, sleeping hours fall, and you find yourself longing for spring break. The heightened stress can often get the best of you, and it slightly has for me. This semester along with the work I have from my course, I am also balancing taking…

Finding the Balance
Hi blog! It’s the weekend! Before I break down my plans for the weekend, I’ll recap my week.
