Bid Adieu

Hey everyone!

Today I'm sharing with you some of my favorite shots of my grad photos. During Memorial Day, I went to campus with my friends Chris and Erika to take my grad photos. My friend Chris took these photos and I give him all the credit cause he did an amazing job. Also, giving a shoutout to my girl, Erika, because without her I wouldn't have looked as good.

Yesterday, I commuted to class for the last time. I cried on my way. haha. Sentimental much? Very. I turned in my senior thesis and finished my last undergrad final. I don't know where the last four years went, but all I know is that it went by too fast. Good thing I have a ton of memories to remember and a bunch of pictures to verify they actually happened.

I've officially finished my last set of finals and I'M DONE WITH COLLEGE. Graduation is only 3 DAYS AWAY. 3 DAYS. I still can't believe I'm graduating. I started this blog my sophomore year of college and now I'm done. What now?

I have no idea. But I'll be smiling, working, and laughing my way there.

Opening with this photo because I laugh at everything and I can never take photoshoots too seriously.



I graduate on Saturday.  I'm super stoked and a handful nervous. I can't wait to share with you my next blog post.

Till next time!
xoxo

Hello everyone!

Happy New Year!

Yay for my first post of 2016. We're already 26 days into the new year! I feel like my winter break was full of holiday events and family/friends get-togethers that I didn't have much of a break. Once January came around, classes start back up. I've started my year off on a good note and with a renewed mind. I'm taking some of my own advice and trying to make the most of my day.

Last weekend, my friends and I drove down to San Diego to celebrate my cousin's birthday. We didn't really have any set plans on what we were going to do on Saturday so we just decided where to stop on our way back home. Here's my weekend in pictures:
















I want to wish one of my favorite people/JSWN partner/ boy-band lover aka cousin Happy Birthday! She's probably one of the people who know me better than I know myself, and knows too much about me. I hope you have an amazing, fun, beautiful day because you are all those things Abby. I love you!

 





"Cousins are people that are ready made friends, you have laughs with them and remember good times from a young age, you have fights with them but you always know you love each other, they are a better thing than brothers and sisters and friends cause there all pieced together as one."     -- Courtney Cox

To you, Thank you

Happy Thanksgiving!

Looking back, I've realized so much has happened throughout this year that has allowed me to have grown in ways I didn't think would happen. I have so much to be thankful for and today's post is an appreciation shoutout to those who's helped me along the way.


To my mom and dad, 
The two of you are able to fill my life with a combination of difficulty and challenges, yet with so much love and care. Your love for each other inspires me. Your questions on how I see life makes me think twice on the decisions I make... But you also remind me how much you support me and love me. Your generosity and care for everyone humbles me. You make me so proud to call you my mother and father. Thank you for being my parents.



To my Brahhhh and Brodaa,
Thank you for being the brothers that you are. Even when we don't see each other for long period of times, we make use of the time we have together. We're all growing up and our lives don't intertwine like they used to, but that's okay… because you two make me happy in the smallest ways possible. You've taught me not only how to be your sister but also friend. I love you both.



To my extended family, 
Words can't express how much I love you all. Even when I don't see all of you, we make the moments we have each other worth remembering. This year has brought us so close and I can't wait to see you all next year. Our family is big… and constantly gets bigger, but our relationships remain in tact. Thank you for all your love, even miles away. 



























  To my university friends, 
Thank you. Thank you for making my last two years of college the best I've ever had. Shoutout to the C$ULA K!DS squad, LPE members, and my fellow COMM mates. Thank you for giving me the memories I love remembering because I love the people I spent it with. Thank you for your guidance when I'm in doubt. For encouraging me when I feel like I'm not good enough, and for helping me practice the skills I have. For helping me grow mentally because all of you challenge me on the way I think. Thank you for making college more fun, even when we're all stressed out and over with being in college. 










To all my friends,
Thank you for making 2015 amazing thus far. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for having my back when I feel like I'm alone. Thank you for making me laugh (because it's my favorite thing to do). To those who I grew up with, have grown up with, or have recently met, all your friendships mean a lot to me. Thank you.































To my best friend, Nancy,
Eight years of friendship ain't got nothing on us. We've grown up (in all aspects) and I'm so thankful to have the memories we have (that once we do remember and the once we don't). Up and down, you've had my back. And to have spent this summer with you, just reminds me how lucky I am to have a best friend like you. Thank you for helping me when I'm down (literally), and for helping me get through my drunken nights. Ha! Even when we were apart you helped me through the things I needed and gave me advice through the times I was unsure. You've given me some of my best memories this year. Even when you're super busy, you still make time to talk to me. Thank you for all that you do. Thank you for taking care of me.


To Jeremi,
Thank you for your friendship. Sometimes I don't know how you can listen to me and the stupid nonsense I say, but you put up with it. You never fail to hear the random things I talk to you about, nor do you ever mind hanging out with me when I need someone to hang out with. You've helped me see a different perspectives on things and never fail to remind me how much you support me. Thank you for always making time to have brunch, dinner, and coffee with me. And for having hour long phone calls because sometimes I just need someone to talk to. Thank you so much for being you. 






























To my girl, Hydie,
 LOL. ^^ Sorry Heids, I had to! I've known you for four years, two of which we would see each other in brief moments, because we didn't have class together. But we made sure to keep in contact and had Starbucks dates so we can catch up on each other's lives. Thank you so much for your help throughout this year.... For your support and encouragements. For listening to me rant over and over again, even when we both knew I was being stupid about certain situations (especially about *ahem*).  You never failed to reassure me that everything will be okay. It was so fun to have class with you again. Although this was one of the toughest quarters to get through, you made it more bearable. #est2012 #SinceDay1





To my cousin, "Cousin,"
I love you. 
I love you. 
I love you. 
Thank you for constantly checking up on me and making sure I'm okay. Distance has nothing on our relationship because you make sure we're updated on each other's lives. Thank you for helping me get through tough days. Thank you for reassuring me that everything will be okay. Thank you so much for all of your support, encouragements, and advice. Even when I'm in the wrong, you remind me that it's part of growing process. You never fail to reassure me how much you love me. Nor do you fail to answer my calls/texts. You have a way of making my days better even when they're the absolute worst.  Thank you for putting a smile on my face when all I want to do is cry. Thank you for not giving a damn when I'm a mess which is 80% of the time... Because sometimes how do you even adult? We may not have chosen to be cousins, but we definitely chose to be friends. Thank you. I love you so much cousin.
