That feeling you get when you’ve made it through not 1, not 2, but 5 consecutive semesters, and get accepted into nursing school.

I taught Mochi how to ring the bell when she needs to go out. She does this every morning if we don’t wake up early enough. 😂

Can’t forget to take those necessary puppy breaks and charge tax on my freeloading tenants 😁

Some days everything is good, while other days are filled with existential dread. For the days, I can’t pull myself out of that downward spiral, I’ve got Mochi and Ares to remind me that that life isn’t so bad.

School’s OUT!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I made it through another semester and I’ve got one week until the next one begins. It’s been a crazy experience going back to school as an adult. With online, hybrid or in-person options and all the technology at my fingertips, it feels like I was meant to be in school during this time of my life.

Make the time to enjoy your life. This isn’t optional.

Even though we went to Hawaii, I still had to write papers and take my finals, and of course prepare for the new semester which began immediately after. No breaks, no stops, just full go. Yet, I managed to find some time to enjoy which feels to be an important skill these days. I’m grateful that I did.

It’s not 1000 ° F anymore and whatever is going on with my back has chilled out for the time being. My days consist of a lot of class work, dedicating an ungodly amount of time to learning the human bones, making the time for exercising me and the puppers, and when I’m not doing those things, I’m reading smutty Sarah J. Maas books before bed. 😅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
