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:)
