Watch out guys...it's Friday the 13th (and in October!) Midterms start next week too (this could be a bad sign). I'm not too worried, though, but you can never help but get stressed out when everyone else makes midterms and finals SUCH a big deal. This semester, none of my classes rely to heavily on midterms or finals. I have a ton of other assignments, papers, etc. that are more important percentage wise. Of course, there no statistics or chemistry to worry about either (except epidemiology, but I adore that class and the math isn't "hard").
This weekend is also the GFAF Expo! You can still snag some tickets TODAY only, otherwise you'll have to hope to get some at the door at a higher price. It's always fun to browse around among our favorite gluten-free brands and companies, mingle, try out new products, get free swag, and of course buy the best of the goodies we love! Hope to see you there!

I hope it all goes well and you exceed your expectations with your Midterms. I'm impressed that you can do all that study and preparation and still keep your blog going full steam ahead!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Ha, well that you! It is not easy!

Best of luck to you on your midterms/assignments! I hope you had fun at the GFAF Expo today(?)! If you're headed there tomorrow, hopefully I'll see you (if my current shift isn't a total craptastic storm, haha).
I'm definitely gonna have to check out that "things to do in NJ" post!

I'm glad you finally made it apple picking; I've never done it before, but I do love all things apples. 🙂
Thanks for all the links! I really do need to get started on figuring out Christmas gifts, especially the DIY ones.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
You need to go!!!
I love making my DIYs, I just hate figuring out and settling on the ideas!

I totally forgot about midterms. I just had a flashback to my college days. I am going to check out the post on organization. I love getting new ideas on how others stay organized.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha 😉 It won't be too bad...hopefully!
Shannon
I could spend so much time going through these based on the titles. Definitely going to read the organizing post...I can use some motivation in that department 🙂 Hope you have a good weekend!
