2014 In Review

2014 will be a hard year to top– I spent the majority of it wearing the same pair of black Havaiana flip-flops while chasing summer with some of my closest friends. I continued studying abroad until April, was fortunate enough to travel around Australia and fall in love with the Gold Coast where I spent 8 months (four of which were in 2014.) I traveled to New Zealand, and later this summer to Italy. 2014 was the year of 16 plane rides, success on Sparkles & Secrets, turning 21, & landing the most amazing internship ever. There was loss; but there was a lot more love.

December 2014:

I had the best year of my life with the greatest people I have ever known. 2013 was the year of self-discovery, 2014 was the year of adventure. Thus far 2015 has been the year of a nasty cough and an even nastier hangover– but that just means 2014 was done right.
