ONE HOT MESS

Well folks, we have hit the end of the semester and my life is a series of laughing out loud. 

College is a weekly cycle of "I just need to get through this week and everything will be chill next week" and then it's next week and everything is not chill. I might have seen that quote on VSCO, but it is the MOST RELATABLE thing I have seen during this semester. 

This semester has been the semester from you know what and I am so ready to be done and home with my family. Now, I'm not trying to be all negative ... there have been a lot of great moments and I know I will remember this semester for the rest of my life. 

But y'all, I have been put into quarantine. As you know, I live with six girls and three of them tested positive for the COVID. I will be chilling with the COVIDs until the end of the dead week and then I pack up and head home for a month. I feel horrible my roommates had to go through the scary virus, but I have been healthy during this time and I tested negative. I just pray for a smooth recovery and we all make it healthy during these crazy times. 

This semester has been really rough for me. Whether I am worried about capstone, basketball, my weight, working out, the COVID, the election, my grades and literally so much more, I'm ready for a break and for it to all be over. I'm trying to see the positives of the current situation and me in quarantine. I'm thinking God wanted me to take a rest and listen to His word. 

I have been blessed with the most amazing people and I'm realizing they keep me going. My professor (well, some of them) are so helpful, my roommates are my best friends, Chris is my rock, my teammates and coaches bring me joy and my family helps me laugh. 

Something I didn't know happened with the COVID is how much it messes with your mental health, but damn, it really messes with your mental state. I think for the first 48 hours of quarantine, I cried the entire time. I was a hot mess, but we got through it because I have the best people. 

I'm super thankful the weather has been nice because I have been able to get outside and run. I am not able to go to basketball so I am back on my running and body workout routines, which I have honestly missed a lot. 

I hope everyone stays safe, healthy and doesn't catch the COVID. I know this blog was all over the place, but this semester was all over the place so it is very much on brand. I love blogging and I will keep blogging my life. 

Happy senior year. I love you all. 

XOXO, Em out.
