    November 14, 2020 /

    I can’t believe it’s almost the middle of November. Where does the time go? I feel like we should still be in March watching Tiger King and creating Tik Toks.

    November 10, 2020 /

    I honestly can’t believe it’s my birthday next month. I swear I just turned 22. Of course, this year hasn’t gone to plan, but that doesn’t mean I’ve not had some amazing moments throughout the bad.  I am extremely grateful. I wanted to take a minute to reflect on my life. Time is whizzing by and my birthday is just around the corner. So why not create a birthday reflections post! In this birthday reflections post I thought I would touch on a few things: Reflecting over the last almost 23 years of my life and what I have learned. What I’ve done over the last year.
