With graduation coming up soon, I am anticipating a lot of change to happen in which I will no longer be in the same space with the same people that I’ve spent these past four years with. Nothing makes me more anxious or stressed than change haha. I always say...

Lately, I’ve been seeing a trend go around that is called a R.E.P.O.R.T, which is where you share something you’ve been reading, eating, playing, obsessing, recommending, and treating yourself to. I’ve been trying to be more intentional with setting...
