Watch your back today! It’s Friday the 13th! Those always creep up on the calendar when you least expect, eh? At least it’s Friday and there’s the “luck of the weekend” on our side! I have like 2-3 weeks of the semester left and I am SO ready for Summer (is it even Spring yet?) This year actually did go by rather quick, but then I think back to the Fall semester and I feel like that was years ago. Tunnel vision on the end goal is the way to hustle through college the quickest way possible!

I have papers to finish up and projects to polish, but I can’t wait to dive deep into Strength and Sunshine content come May! Until then, without fail, your weekly reading with the Friday Finisher has arrived!

Have you gotten to enjoy any Spring yet? Me? No…no, I haven’t. I think it’s supposed to snow again this weekend too! Let’s just skip to June…I’ll be done with school, it’s my birthday, and fully “summery”. All these April Showers better bring May Flowers! I’m also dieing to get back in the kitchen and start shooting new recipes and reshooting old things! The dreadful weather is making my job pretty impossible right now. More time for all this end of semester school work, I guess. Not cool Mother Nature!

These Friday Finisher’s are getting way to complaint-heavy, eh? I’ll try to reign in the whining next week…maybe 😉

It’s Easter weekend! Wasn’t it just Christmas? I think so…Usually the Spring semester goes by slower than the Fall, but they are looking pretty equal to me! Just about a month left and I am SLAMMED with work. So many papers to write (plus group projects). I am running on empty, but the finish line is SO close…summer freedom? I’m just marking off the weeks, the assignments, the papers, one by one. We’ll get there alive…I hope!

Have a great Easter, if you celebrate, and if not, here’s to a (hopefully) sunny, not rainy weekend!

Storm #4 and we’re supposedly in “Spring”. I am 100% certain I’ll be moving out of NJ sooner rather than later. Then again, the entire East Coast doesn’t seem veery appealing right now (East > West), so maybe I’ll have to move out of the country? But if it keeps snowing and storming, no one is going anywhere (flights getting canceled)! This is why I don’t understand why people like Spring…there is no Spring. Summer is the only season you should care about (haha!)

Are y’all getting your St. Patrick’s Day recipes ready to go? You better be baking not one, but two loaves of the best gluten-free Irish soda bread, some rustic vegan shepherd’s pie, and a side or two of potato goodness! Long time readers know I’m not a huge fan of St. Patty’s day, but when the opportunity for good food arises, there’s got to be some positivity there! Have to celebrate those Irish roots and the fact that St. Patrick’s Day is basically “Potato Day“, and that, my friends, is something to celebrate!

When you you wake up from your soda bread and potato coma, make sure to take a stroll through the Friday Finisher! We have some great content this week; a little something for everyone, I think! Happy Friday!
