Hello readers,

I am in the process of a new project. Bear with me as I take this step in switching from Blogger to WordPress. I have noticed I like the display much more than Blogger because I feel it has a more professional look to it. It’s going to take some getting used to, but I’m up for the task.

As a writer, photographer, baker and traveler, I would like to share my experiences along the way. I have a big year ahead of me as I get closer and closer to graduating. Only a few short months left of this semester and this year. The new year is looking bright already as I look forward to my journalism trip to New York.

This semester has certainly been a test as I overloaded myself with 17 hours. It has been a lot of work and very stressful. I guess I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I had this outlook of “I can do it all.” I found myself balancing work, school, relationships and soccer all in the same bowl. Not an easy task. Let’s just say, I wasn’t getting enough sleep either.

At the moment, I have decided to quit soccer. I realized everything else is more important right now. I’m close to graduating, and my focus needs to be on that. I’m not sure what’s in the future, but I am optimistic. Here’s to a fresh start.
