Music holds a special place in my heart. I am a sucker for making playlists. When I got Spotify premium it was like my world had erupted. I not only found a better way to procrastinate but I also found music that helps soothe my soul. I literally have over 20+ playlists and will continue to make them!

Summer is the worst and best time for me when it comes to playlists, I have so many for all occasions. My favorite one is my Late Night Drives playlist.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
