Update on Life

Hey all. Haven't updated in what feels like forever, so thought it needed to be done to update you on what's all been happening in my life.

Being Senior year, it's obvious that things would start to speed up, and they really have. It's not all bad, though. I just registered for next semester classes, which will be my second to last semester here at Stephens College. I can't believe I graduate next December. Feels like just yesterday I came here 3 semesters and a summer ago. Along with my busy schedule next semester, I am going to be interning at Mustard Seed! I am very excited for this opportunity. I will be the Product Knowledge Intern, which is basically a part of the Purchasing Intern. I will be attending meetings, blogging along with other social media, assisting the Visual Merchandiser with the Look Book and helping out wherever needed. I am really looking forward to this, because not only is it an internship but it's a non-profit. Everyone who knows me knows how passionate I am about non-profits so this is perfect for me. I'm hoping this internship will help me narrow down what I might want to do in the future job market. We'll see!

Along with that, I am currently creating my Capstone project. I am doing mine as an African Conflict Awareness campaign. I will be creating a booklet type magazine about the current situation in Uganda and the surrounding areas, as well as organizing an event to hold that I am SUPER excited about. I was nervous at first and it's still a lot of hard work, but it will be awesome in the end and I hope will make a difference.

It really does seem like Fall is leaving sooner than it should, but that just means the faster my wedding will come :) Planning has been going really well. We have all of the big things taken care of, now it's just the minor details that we need to set in stone. One thing that is an ongoing difficulty is the number of guests. Brandon wants a small wedding and I want a bigger wedding because I know so many people, so we're trying to find a happy medium so we're doing things a little different. I'm constantly worried, though, because I don't want to leave anyone out because I love everyone I know :( It'll all work out though. I always tell myself it will work out and that it is in God's hands.

God bless and keep on keepin' on, Seniors!
