Personally, I don’t think the hardest job in the world has anything to do with making money. I think being a mother is nearly impossible, yet I’ve been blessed with an amazing one. I can still remember when I was younger and when I used to get sick, I would sleep in my mom’s bed and she would wake up in the middle of the night to make sure I was okay and to see if I needed another ice pack. The comfort of having her next to me when I felt horrible was all I needed to help me get better. She’s always the one who wakes up first to make breakfast and always knows what to say when I’m on the verge of tears. Ever since I was a kid, she knew the right way to wake me up and start my mornings off right. It’s always the simple things, yet I can’t imagine how different my life would be if I grew up without my mom. She’s always been there for me and I am so grateful that she’s in my life. I just cannot put into words how much she means to me and being far away from her makes me appreciate her that much more. Supportive, loving, compassionate, and selfless… I hope when I become a mother, I can be as amazing as she is. I love you, Mom! 

Happy Mother’s day to all the mothers out there too!

has surpassed Fall Quarter by 9328704983 miles. Despite the fact that I have another Chemistry midterm tomorrow (with no idea what is going on), I’ve been doing pretty well in school. Oh, and the biggest difference between this quarter and the last? Pledging for aKDPhi. Pledging for the sorority taught me so much about patience, determination, and it’s helped me grow as a person. Sleepless nights, having no free time, getting close to three amazing girls (my pledge sisters), losing my appetite due to my constant anxiousness, and learning how to time manage. I would always ask myself whether or not all of this would be worth it and now I finally have the answer. Without a doubt, yes. This indescribable happiness is already enough for me. 

The biggest lesson I learned from pledging: It’s always darkest before the dawn, so don’t give up. Keep trying. It’s always worth it.

  • Thanksgiving weekend was bomb. Ramen, Krispy Kreme, Starbucks, visits to my house, amazing food, very successful Black Friday, sister date, haircut, Bruxie, kidnapping, FINALLY driving after 2 months, talks in my car, Meow Meow, halves, planning for winter break, and of course being with loved ones.
  • Final draft re-write due Wednesday, math homework due tonight, Core essay and Chem homework due next Monday, Chem final next Tuesday, and math final next Wednesday. Time to load up on coffee, form study groups, and attend as many discussions as I can. After this week and next week, ONE MONTH OF WINTER BREAK.
  • My winter quarter schedule looks like a bitch. Calc, Chem, and Computers. Oh my… Classes/discussions everyday. On a brighter note, no more 8AM class!!
  • Been looking into medical schools… I don’t know what caused this sudden ambitious thinking or motivation, but I’m not complaining! It’s never too early to think about the future.
  • I like airports.
