Death by Semester/Canvas

I know all honors students are busy, but I just want to share the craziness of my life.
I am taking 19 class hours, developing questions for my thesis, working 40 hours in a classroom, I have 20 hours of service learning, I serve as the Vice President of Alumnae Relations for Sigma Kappa and I am in the process of planning a huge event. I have 25 assignments due from now until April 18th. If that wasn't enough I had the flu three weeks ago and yesterday I was diagnosed with mono and I'm on 'bed rest' per my doctor. So, that is why I am just now posting what I chose as my creative outlet. Canvas painting. Each one took 2 hours to create, however, the large Tom Petty canvas which took three hours. So far I have 15 creative hours done!

I need to be more kind and gentle with myself so I can grow and learn to handle situations with more control. I can be in control of my feelings. Through this and reading the book The Road Back to You,  I realized I am a four on the Enneagram. I thought I was a two because I have a helpful nature, then a three because I HATE for peo...

Application Reviews

I was so honored to have the opportunity to score 11 MHS applications! I enjoyed reading the essays and reviewing the resumes. I believe the honors college has an amazing group coming through with lots of diversity and incredible background stories. I am so thankful for what MHS has meant to me, and I know these upcoming students are greatly anticipating this incredible opportunity. I spent 2 hours total scoring applications. GOOD LUCK TO THE WINNERS! 14/30 hours

Blood Drive

10/2 I donated blood during the homecoming blood drive this week and it felt incredible to be able to serve my community. I always get slightly nervous around needles, but I only got slightly lightheaded at the end. The process only took about 1 hour and I helped save 3 lives! 4/25 hours
