Happy Hump Day, y'all!
I'm on the road right now to head back down to Tempe to start getting ready for training and school! My siblings just started their next year of high school and because it's a weekday, I'm going on my own with about half of my stuff and my family will come with rest on the weekend.
Coming and being home this summer has actually been an experience all its own. My little sister is usually the one known for being more independent, but I think my first year of college plus the time I spent in Europe really has helped me to mature and grow as a person. I feel a little less scared of the world and the future, and it's great! Of course I'm still a bit apprehensive about the school year with everything I have going on, but I feel more inclined to smile and think I can take it on.
That feeling is what inspired this post. It is a shorter one than usual (for the record: this was intentional, not a result of procrastination, I swear!), because I want to turn the tables and hear from y'all!

What is your current summer jam?
Meghan Trainor's Duet "Love You Like I'm Gonna Lose You" (I think that's what it's called) I love it's sound. My boyfriend and I perform/sing together, and we're going to perform this at college next month!

I went to Canada for this vacation (I was actually there for Canada Day) which was really fun and fifferent!

My summer has gone well so far. We spend a bit better than a week in Zanzibar, Tanzania. My summer jam is Michael Jackson's Thriller. I had a change to revisit the album on the way to Zanzibar and it's been stuck in my head ever since. I had a chance to visit key places in world history. It was truly something. For the remainder of the year, I intend to hone my blog's presence, finish my research project, and relax.
ReplyDeleteBeing independent is the best! I've always been independent growing up, and now, living on my own and going to college only solidifies my independence!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea to do reader questions!
My summer has been the busiest yet! I've worked 40 hr weeks almost every week and gone on a couple awesome vacations! We just got back from The Dominican Republic and it was fantastic!
My current favorite summer jam is "Cheerleader" seriously, how can anyone not jam out to that song?
No "big steps" for me this year!
Today, I am most looking forward to the Hatch Chile Chicken soup I'm making! It smells sooo good as its cooking now!

In late evening I'm going to celebrate my best friend's BIRTHDAY!
I totally feel the same way! I feel as though I'm becoming less scared, but at the same time I'm a bit nervous about moving back to school and RA training. But we got this girlie, don't worry!
ReplyDeleteWishing you safe travels!
ReplyDeleteI have been having a great summer, but I've found that summers are less exciting when you're working full time, and summer break is no longer a thing. My summer jam has definitely been "Raised on it" by Sam Hunt!

This summer (long vacation) has been great. School starts in less than 2weeks and I am super ready for it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun spin! My summer's been pretty good, traveled a few times, can't complain! I guess I like Major Lazer's "Lean On" as my summer jam. I'm post-grad and work a 9-5 so I don't really feel like I've gotten a "vacation" haha, but I can't complain!
ReplyDeletexo, Alicia | Alicia Tenise
That's so great that you are feeling more independent now! And my summer has been great! I'm out of the school life so I don't really get a long break anymore but I have been able to a couple long weekends of traveling lately!
