Let it Out! :D


So classes are about to start up next week on Tuesday and I thought to make sure we all release the last of that stress from the previous semester, that we should shake it out to this video. Definitely want to take this Ferri and dance it out! :D

Have a good weekend!

Friday Freak Out!

There comes a time each year where finances get a little tight, and it can seem like you will never pull through and ask questions like "how am I going to pay for this now, or next semester?" I had one of these moments today and it was not fun. As the day went on and after a couple stressful moments looking at my bank statements, university bill, and holiday expenses...I was able to calm myself down and reacquainted with reality.

Sometimes you just have to sit back and look at the whole picture, so as I go into final exams, projects and reports I sit back and look at all from a distance pecking away bit by bit till it all gets done, because the reward will be great know I had worked the best that I could to accomplish it all.

So for a belated Thanksgiving, I want to thank my friends and family for always reminding me that everything will be alright and that life isn't always easy and that down moments are just opportunity to learn.
