Finally Final.

My last final is finally done!! Woo! I forgot how good this feels. I'm thinking last semester was the busiest I have ever been in my life. Really. Even looking back just now, I'm not sure how I did it all...haha. I'm so glad to be done with school for a little bit. I'm less glad to be done with Peer Advising and Service-Learning Coordinating, but it will be nice to not be worrying about three jobs and homework. I'm always trying to put my full effort into school and work, but whoa. When I'm at Express up to 35 hours per week, plus 10 hours a week of Peer Advising, plus 5-10 hours to coordinate service-learning, and school on top of that, it gets tough! I think I had 16 credit hours, too. It was just a lot for me. I'm excited now to be able to focus on my job and improving my skills at Express. I'll also have time to....paint my nails, workout, clean my car, hang out, and just have fun. :)

I will be done with my writing for HerCampus until fall as well. When we start publishing again, I will be the editor-in-chief of the Utah branch! I'm excited for that! So many opportunities are coming up, and I am really learning how to be an effective leader. It's tough, but I need to do it and get used to it. I'll take any practice I can get! I also need to be looking for other internships. Hmm. Yea. I'll find one somewhere!

I have three more semesters of college. So I guess two years from now I'll be wearin' that cap and gown. That's enough time to figure out my life right? I guess we'll see. I'll probably be completely different by then! Ah. It's been a good semester. Being a Service-Learning Coordinator has been one of the most challenging jobs I've ever done! It's also taught me a ton about myself and helped me grow as a person and as a leader. I'm so glad I had the opportunity and accepted it! Peer Advising has been amazing as well. I'm really gonna miss it. But at the same time, it will be nice to not have so much extra stuff to worry about (though I'm sure I'll find something). Hm. I won a scholarship. Woo! That was a great moment for me too. I made a great friend in a professor, really  our friendship was long in the making. I...yea. Worked some late nights. My papa was not super thrilled about those, but it was worth it for me and our team at City. It didn't interfere with anything but my sleep, so I was tired but ok.

It's going to be a great summer. I'm going to keep wearing my SPF! I'm gonna sleep in, paint my nails a lot, spend time with my friends, read whatever I want, and take care of about a billion pesky little things that need to be done. I love school, but I'm ready for a break! And by August I'm sure (I hope) I'll be ready to go back. :)
