I’m not gonna lie, 2018 has been long as hell. It’s been a good year though. In this post, I’m highlighting some of my favorite moments of the year. I hope that you choose to reflect on the good things of 2018 as well. If I don’t post anything on here before then, Happy New Year!!

Goals for 2019

2019 is already looking like it’s going to be a huge year for me. I take Orgo II which is the last medical school prereq that I have to take!! Upon graduation (2020), I’m planning to do a masters program, so I have to start working on the application for that. As far as life stuff, we’re going on a cruise in May! I’m so excited as this will be my first time out of the country. I’m also getting an apartment in August. There’s been a lot of pinning and window online-shopping over here. I’m hoping to blog more consistently as well, but you never know with school. I just want 2019 to know that this year is mine!

For whoever’s reading this, I wish nothing but health and prosperity for you. Happy New Year!
