Guys! It's summer! (In terms of "school years"). I made it through another semester and now I'm anxiously waiting for finals grades to be released....o the anticipation (haha!) I have one more short/easy semester in the Fall before graduation, made up mostly of my internship requirement. Then...well, we'll cross that bridge when it comes. Right now, let's celebrate May! We have Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, Mother's Day on the 13th, (My mom's birthday on the 28th), AND it's Celiac Disease Awareness Month! I WILL (I promise this year) bring you some celiac focused content, as well as Food Allergy Awareness Week content (falls in the month of May as well) this year! Be on the look out!
