The first week of my freshman year I may have been the only one who was not homesick; and I didn't feel homesick until our laundry room in the basement flooded (for the first time). But this year is different. When I was at home I actually made attempts to spend time with my parents - because I actually wanted to. Weird, I know. My relationship with all of my parents (child of divorce) strengthened this past summer, and it was a lot tougher to leave.
Sophomore year is two weeks away! I cannot believe it. I feel like just yesterday I was touring colleges excited about the future, but nervous to leave my high school bubble. Now I'm anxiously waiting to return to campus.
Last year I invested over $100 into a north face backpack because I had always heard that those are the best. I was sadly mistaken. Only one binder and my laptop fit into the backpack, and I could barely squeeze my water bottle into the side pocket.
I have tried pretty much everything you can buy at CVS for your skin. Growing up even when I didn't have acne, I've always had blotchy, red, skin. It's something I used to be very self conscious about that I'm just now starting to get over. Plus I have a skin allergy to Tea Tree Oil that makes it hard to get higher end products.
Yoga is something I've always loved. No matter how crappy my days been, or how much of a headache I've had, or how stressed out I am, yoga always brings me back to a place where I'm happy. To me getting healthy and in shape isn't about having an ideal body, it's about feeling good; and honestly, I feel AMAZING after yoga!
