It’s been a year since I got my grad school acceptance phone call! Thinking about that day puts a smile on my face, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s been a tough few weeks in the life of a grad student. Lately I’ve been eating, sleeping, and breathing flashcards and textbooks (and I know I’m working hard when dog snuggles reserved for bed time only). I’m feeling guilty these days because for a very long time I prayed, and hoped and crossed my fingers as hard as I could for acceptance into a master’s program, and I finally got in. I cried so much that day because I was so happy! That day, in that moment, I promise you you couldn’t find one person in the universe who was happier to go back to school than I was. I got what I so badly wanted, and I’ll be grateful to the school acceptance gods forever, but it’s so hard to maintain motivation. For weeks now, I’ve been telling myself, “next week will be better.” This time, I genuinely believe next week will be better!
Back to business! I woke up yesterday morning to a cold front that brought temps down to 75 degrees (c’mon fall, you can do better than that!). It’ll be back up to 90 this week, but it’s finally starting to cool down long enough in the mornings and evenings to wear long sleeves, which is kind of exciting. This striped tunic was on my Instagram along with this black crossbody yesterday and a lot of you seemed to love the bag, I did too! It’s less than $20 and comes in 4 colors, including a pretty metallic gray that I’ll be ordering ASAP! After linking the crossbody on here I realized it’s from the latest brand Target started to carry, A New Day. If this is a taste of what’s to come, I’m looking forward to it! Happy Wednesday, friends!
