Welp... it's been awhile. A long while! I didn't think life could get any crazier, but man was I wrong. This summer has been a blast, but it has also been busier than I ever thought possible. Only two weeks until fall quarter starts, but I am chomping at the bit to get back to school. Never thought I would be one to say this, but summer needs to be over already. I am 110% ready for fall weather, cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, apple picking, rainy days and holidays! I am also really looking forward to getting back into the school routine with regularly scheduled work outs, Circle K craziness, a NEW job (like I really need another one of those...) and just being back in Santa Cruz. Since moving home (well that's kind of a joke and you'll soon see why), I haven't been in one place for more than 5 days unless it was away from home. This blog post would literally be the length of a book if I wrote about my whole summer in detail, so I will try and capture the gist of all my adventures in a few short words and lots of photos!
Warning: I spent my entire summer traveling and visiting friends and 95% of the past 3 months was filled with Circle K :) It was insanely awesome, but it was definitely exhausting and I am feeling a little burnt out from all the craziness. These photos are not in chronological order, just snapshots from all over!
