Weekend Recap!

This weekend was packed with activity since my sister and I were prepping to go to the Lana Del Rey concert on Saturday. We began with Henna tattoos on Thursday ( Lana's style has that boho vibe, so we thought it would look nice), and then a quick trip to the mall on Friday to find our outfits.

( This was right after it was painted on.)

(After I had peeled off the paint the next day.)

Unfortunately, Saturday's weather was unexpectedly cold and rainy, so we had to try to dress "warm" while still attempting to keep the Lana-esque look going.

 While we did look adorable, we were not prepared for the weather at all. The concert venue had a partially outdoor (lawn seats) and partially covered (inside a pavilion) set up. Although we did have seats in the pavilion, we still ended up getting drenched because the wind was blowing the water our way. Combined with the low temperature that evening, the rain had me in a really bad situation, so we sadly had to leave the concert early. I was very disappointed about that because Lana is absolutely amazing live, but my body was seriously on the verge of hypothermia (when we left I could barely move my fingers to text), so I don't know how much more I could take. Regardless, we did enjoy what we did get to see of the concert and were super glad we could finally hear our favorite artist live.

Sunday was the beginning of moving my stuff out of my college apartment.

My parents helped me move out a few things, mainly my clothes, but we most likely will have to make several trips to move the smaller items. Then, we will make a larger trip to move the bigger items such as my bed. It was crazy to begin packing things up after living there for two years. It adds to the realization that I am done with college and am moving on to new things. I will definitely miss that little apartment, as many memories were made there.

Today was just a regular day, so nothing too interesting to report (haha). I begin a certification class next Monday, and I will hopefully have my primaries submitted by Friday (ahh!). So, I have got to finish those up! Otherwise, it's just the regular mundane activities that I must go through, and I will try to keep posting if anything exciting happens (haha).

Where have I been?!?

     So, I know I already made a blog post about being the worst blogger in the history of blogging, but I do feel the need to defend my case. I have been missing because I have been ridiculously busy with life. I know that is a poor excuse, but it is the honest truth.

     Keeping busy has made the past seven months fly by, and within that span of time I have completed my college career.

( Here I am with my parents after graduation.)

 Although it was a bittersweet moment to be finally leaving the place that I called home for the past four years, I am so thrilled ( and a slight bit nervous) to pursue my next endeavor which in fact is quite a big one!

So what comes next? Well, I am currently working on applying for medical school (yikes!). As anyone who has applied or will be applying knows, it is a nerve-wracking process since the field is so competitive. Either way, I have done quite a bit of soul searching this past year, and I have decided that this is the path that I would like to pursue. As I am applying at the end of my senior year, I would not be entering medical school until next fall ( Fall of 2016). This situation leaves me with a "gap year" to fill. I have some things planned out ( I am going to undergo certification to become a clinical medical assistant over the summer), but others I will have to fit into place as the year goes on. It is a bit scary to not have everything planned out, but as the optimist that I am I know that everything will work out for the best!

Having a gap year will definitely have its advantages. For example, I hope to blog more! I definitely thought about blogging, but I was just so inundated with other priorities, that I didn't want to half-ass blogging. I decided that I would much rather wait until I could put an acceptable amount of effort ( by my standards anyway) into the project, and here we are. I can't say that I will be perfect at it, but I will try to do my best! I shall keep you posted:)
