Daily Vlog! A Lazy Day for a Master of Finance Student
Hello everyone! Life has been giving me hell as of late. A few weeks back I had final exams which were very taxing and then they threw us right back into classes a few days later for the new quarter. I haven’t quite been able to get back into the swing of things but I…

After 3 long semesters of self reflection, I have an announcement to make; I chose the wrong Master program! There, I said it. If you know me in real life then I’m sure this comes as no surprise but to my blog readers, it might. I’ve tried to do the sunny approach to my blog…

Are finals next week? Yup. Should I be studying instead of writing this week’s blog? Uh-huh. Three guesses as to what I’m doing anyways.

Jewelry Organization
I never seem to remember to wear jewelry. I used to be the “Queen of Accessorizing” so said my mom in high school, but as of late, I just can’t seem to remember that last step before I run out the door. Knowing that, one might wonder why I would even bother wasting space and…
