T-Swift Year!

    This past weekend, I officially had my last birthday in college. I turned 22 years old this past Friday. While this isn't a milestone birthday like turning 18 or 21, I still wanted to make it memorable. Lucky for me, with my birthday falling on a Friday I had the whole weekend to celebrate.
    Friday's typically are very relaxed for me in general because I don't have classes. I woke up to all my family members texting me wishing me a happy birthday. I started the day off by getting ready to go to the gym. I've made going to the gym a big priority in my life. Not only because it helps me feel good about myself, but also because it's something I enjoy. It's always nice going to the gym early in the morning because it's usually empty or only has a few people in it. Luck was on my side because I had an empty gym all to myself. I went about my workout and then headed home to get ready for work. I know what you're thinking, "Hallie, why would you go to work on your birthday?" To be honest, I have no idea why I chose to come in. I didn't have much to work on, so I spent the entire shift aimlessly scrolling through my phone and computer. After work was over, I headed home to take a nap to prepare me for the evening. My friends and I headed to Findlay for a small birthday dinner at Vivir Modern Mexican. I had never been there before, but it turned out to be really good. After this we headed home and it was time to get the party started. We invited over some friends to hang out at our place. In our group, there were three birthdays in a row, so we had one big celebration for everyone. It was super fun getting to be with everyone. The next day, we spent the morning watching our friends' basketball game. While the game was super fun, we unfortunately didn't win against Marietta. I love being able to watch my friends' game because I love to support them. 

    After the game was over, it was time for a long nap to prepare for the night to come. To start the night out, my roommates and I met up at our friends' house to play different games and hang out. As the night progressed we moved locations to another house to keep the night going. When we arrived at the house, it was insanely packed. While it was super fun, things got a little frustrating being on top of one another, so we decided to leave and head to the bar. There we ended our night and shut the bar down. The next morning, my sorority held a fun sisterhood event at Axe Ventura in Findlay, an axe throwing establishment. It was a super fun experience, my roommates and I are already planning another trip! Overall, I had a really fun birthday and it was one I'll never forget. I'm thankful for all the friends I've made during my time in college and I can't wait to see what the next step in our lives will be.

Until next time XOXO,

Hallie

Gym Grind

     I've never been one to actually workout. All my life, I've been involved with athletics, whether it be basketball, volleyball or cheer, I was always active growing up. Once sports started to get more serious, I decided to stick with volleyball during my time in high school. With summer conditioning, open gym and summer leagues, it's fair to say I was in great shape for my age. Come senior year, I injured my back while playing and was told to stop playing in order for it to heal properly. Deciding to stop playing was one of the hardest decisions I had to make, but I knew if I wanted to continue being active at all I should listen to the doctors and put a pause on my activities. Since then, I tried to stay active in a variety of ways, from walking around campus to running in the gym. It wasn't until this past year that I started to really dedicate myself to the gym.     I was going through a pretty rough breakup and fell out of love with myself. I really didn't l

Back to Reality

     All good things must come to an end, break has ended. While break was a week long, it still doesn't feel like we had enough time. From the moment I arrived at home, it had been "go go go." It feels like the only time I truly spend at home is when I'm sleeping each night. Let me take you through where my chaotic week has taken me, starting with Friday when I arrived.     Immediately after unpacking the car, I had to turn right around and pick my mom up from work. My mom had just gotten a new car, so she left it at the house for me to pick her up in. I was nervous driving because it was all so new I didn't want to ruin anything. After getting her from work, we ran to some of our favorite stores: HomeGoods, TJ Maxx and Marshalls. After window shopping and picking up some small items, we ended our night with a pizza from our favorite place, Carmela's. Saturday morning, my brother, mom, dad and myself went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast because it was my brot
