Hey y’all! I know I’ve been M.I.A. these past couple of weeks and I apologize. Being completely honest, I fell into a bit of a writers block. Plus I got caught up in the whirlwind of my final weeks of high school. Between AP exams, grad parties, graduation practice, and graduation itself I used what little time I had to myself just for that…being with myself. I’ve always preached the importance of taking some time to yourself every once in a while, and I definitely needed to practice that these past few weeks.

As I mentioned earlier, I had AP exams several weeks ago. Unfortunately for me, the way College Board scheduled the exams all my exams were back to back, making the week seem pretty long. With lots of mental strength, I made it through! It wasn’t easy, but I had a wonderful support system around me guiding me through it all. While it wasn’t easy, it was doable. Yes, I did dread it heading in, but looking back, it honestly wasn’t that bad. Definitely something that I wasted too much time worrying about.

Following that week, I had final project after final project. Thankfully, the projects were super fun. I know I mentioned my philosophy class to y’all several times and I’m super sad that the class is over. It was definitely one of my absolute favorite classes that I took throughout high school. I had so much fun exploring my thoughts and beliefs this past semester and can’t wait to share them with y’all! I have a post outlining my final project to y’all in the works, so make sure to be on the look out for it!

Then, I had the week of graduation. Boy was that a crazy week! After endless grad parties, the coveted day finally came. While I probably still haven’t wrapped my mind around the fact that I’m no longer a high school student, I’m really looking forward to next year, where I’ll continue my studies at Ole Miss.

Speaking of Ole Miss, I actually attended Orientation last week and signed up for my fall semester classes. While I know the summer will blow by quickly, I cannot wait to get to the cute little town of Oxford in August! Along with my philosophy post, I have a big post reflecting on my high school and college decision process coming soon. I’ve learned a lot throughout the process (I feel like I say this way too much, but it’s true!) and can’t wait to share.

While these past couple of weeks have been crazy, I’m excited for what’s to come! So, stay on the lookout! Peach and Grace has some big things in the work you definitely don’t want to miss out on!
