weekend shenanigans

So the semester if flying smoothly by. As of today I have 32 days till my semester is over. I’m starting to be able to de-stress as I get all these big assignments off my plate.

I think Wednesdays are the days where I feel oh-so-close to the weekend that I’m like that alien looking emoji that has his hands on his face and is pushing in his cheeks saying oohhh-myyy-goooosh.

how to keep your relationship strong: when someone’s in school

^^ last year’s Holiday photos Those of you supporting your husband while he is in graduate school or any school for that matter give yourself a round of applause. It’s not always flowers and green flowing meadows when your significant other is in school full time. There are days where you don’t get to see them very often, if at all, and there are times when you are both at home and you feel bad watching your favorite show without him because he is in the other room studying, well for me at least. … Read More
