Just one more final to take and a group paper to hand in...I think I've got this! I can't wait to have time to refocus, here on Strength and Sunshine, work on some passion projects that got thrown to the wayside during the semester, and just regroup and think about the future! There is SO much less stress and weight on the shoulders when you're not juggling 16 credits and a full-time business...plus general life! I literally do feel a weight lift off me during the summer; always have (even back in grade school!) There's just an overall sense of freedom and relaxation that comes with a successful completion of a school year!
I'm ready for some fun too! Inspire me...what do you have planned for the summer? Here's to a fabulous weekend! xoxo
