Visual Recap: 2013

I’ve gathered some of my favorite shots from 2013.

In 2013 I experienced Haiti in March, and the Bahamas in December. I witnessed the beauty that is my stubborn and exquisite hair growth. I successfully completed 75% of my graduate program in Speech language Pathology. I inked Costa Rica’s unofficial motto on my hip. Life was great to me in 2013. Cheers to an even more delicious 2014!

My Summer in Photos: 2013

It’s hard to say goodbye to summer, but alas…I’m back on the journey as I enter my second and final year of grad school.

I stayed pretty local most summer, with occasional trips to New York City and Virginia Beach to keep sane. I worked at Shake Shack, finding myself bolting from work after shifts to keep away from using my employee discount and gorging on some burgers and custard. What is custard? Only the next best thing to ice cream. If I was to describe it, it would be rich and creamy dairy goodness. It’s exactly what summers are made of.

I also moved across the hall, into an apartment with some worthwhile amenities in this city life struggle. I now have an on suite bathroom and a washer and dryer in my apartment. Life is good.

Below you’ll find some moments that commemorate summer!
