looking back on what I used to think..
I thought I’d be in a ridiculously serious relationship.
I thought I’d be ridiculously fast and kicking ass in running.
Never thought I’d be studying deaf education.
Never thought I’d be living in Florida.

and I won’t have cross country.
And it will be my last semester of classes.

Why do I want kids so bad? Maybe because my sister is pregnant so I am getting jealous? this is getting weird.
What I want out of life: to live in Kenya for a while. Travel travel travel travel. Volunteer at a hospital- read to young children in the hospital, teach kids that are sick and can’t go to school, or just sit and hold the hand of a lonely patient going through chemo. and to be a...

Sometimes all you need to do is dance.
I am involved in Best Buddies. We hang out with adults with intellectual disabilities. Last night there was a biiiig Valentine’s Day Dance with all the other group homes in the town. They get so into it- tux and nice dresses and all. And trust me, they sure know how to dance. There is no better way to unwind after a long, busy week. Since being in college, it is my favorite part of...
