Happy Saturday, everyone! In case you missed it, Cait’s back from her trip to Thailand and is already back at it here on the blog. Anyone else still having a little travel envy from her dgorgeous photos?! Meanwhile, I’m starting to get into the swing of things here at school. This semester is a busy one for me — I’m interning, RA-ing, taking a full course load, applying to jobs, trying to be social and also dealing with new mice friends (ha) who have decided my AC unit is their home. To find balance, I’ve been sticking to a solid workout routine and have also been taking a few moments each night to do some journaling. I love writing these posts every week, too, because they give me a reason to reflect and a space to share and discover inspiration. Anyone have tips for keeping it together during super busy times?
