Two exams left! OHMYGOSH only THREE more days of school! I honestly can't believe that my freshman year has come and gone..but I am so excited for sophomore year! I'm able to stay in the same dorm, same room to be exact, with a wonderful roommate, a new major with a schedule I'm super excited for, as well as another chance to make friends and cultivate the friendships I already have.

Beckham Family: #SquadGoals
#FoodGradients: Obsessed with this Instagram feed! I love all the colors!
Giraffe Named At Dallas Zoo: Kipenzi--Swahili for loved one
Grey's Anatomy: If you haven't watched last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy, do so right now! If you have and want to cry (again), read through these 24 reasons (I won't say why, just click the link, or I'll spoil 11x21 for people). You're not alone. Millons of people are crying with you..including me. Just google Grey's.
Promposal: An act of true friendship!
smileshineinspire: I just gave my Tumblr a makeover and I love how it turned out :) see for yourself!
94%: This app is so addicting!

Go have an awesome weekend! :)
I'm just trying to prepare myself for these last few days of freshman year..
Relax and make sure you take time to rest!

What a sweet birthday! :)
Turning a year older feels different with each passing year..but this has definitely been one of the best!
I loved being able to celebrate with some of my favorite people!
Pizza I could eat and birthday cake Oreos (of course!) and Lifesavers and cookie cake also helped ;)
I was so excited when I found out the book, The Longest Ride, was turning into a movie and even more thrilled when I learned it would be released on my birthday! 
I. LOVED. IT. The movie was great and lived up to my expectations!



I am so thankful for another year.
I hope this year I will grow more and learn more and become more.

I wore my So Worth Loving shirt today, because I thought it only fitting that I celebrate myself today as well as every other day and urge others to do the same. On birthdays, you feel special, but we should remind each other that we are So Worth Loving every single day of the year! 

To whomever is reading this, I love you and I hope that from this day on, you know you are loved and will be reminded to inspire others of this same message :)
Go spread the love.

Happy birthday to any other people who have an April 10th birthday! :)

Wow! It's already a new month!
Transitioning between March and April has been hectic, but I'm loving it :)
I have the biggest to-do list, but I've been checking things off almost every day!
The sunshine sure does brighten my mood and lift my spirit!
With less than a month to go of my freshman year (I can't believe it!), stress levels are high and the assignments are piling up..but it's almost over and bittersweet to think about.

I found some great gems on the Internet over the past few days/weeks and almost forgot to share :)

Holi Festival in India (One day I will go here!)
KJP's New Spring Line (I want everything!)
Wildest Dreams (Acoustic) (Love this version!)

Girls Are Asking Guys To Prom (And it's pretty awesome)

Easter is THIS Sunday and I can't wait!
I'll be the first to admit I love the decorations and holiday-themed aisles of Target. What's even more awesome is that I don't need any of that to be reminded of what God did for me and how He changed my life. Peeps and dyed eggs are cool, but what's amazing is the act of love and grace God showed me through the sacrifice of His son, Jesus. He chooses to love you and me each and every day, no matter how many times we fail Him. Offering the gift of eternal life to us is crazy, but I am glad He does anyway. He forgives and takes away our sin and for that, I am so very grateful.

Have an egg-cellent weekend :)
