Oh hey Summer, slow it down.

But really. Let's get real...

I cannot believe it's basically August now and I am wishing time would slow itself down. The summer will be winding down soon and my last college program will be coming to a close as well as my time with Disney (for now). From here I don't currently know where I am going job wise but I am staying here in Florida for the time being. I will be leasing a beautiful house in Davenport with three other girls. I am super excited, scared, anxious, and stressed about everything going on in my life right now. I don't think I've ever been this stressed out before and I would be lying if I said that it isn't dampening my spirit just a little bit. This will be my first shot at really being on my own but I want to move forward and make it work.

There have been many changes since I last wrote and everyday has been a new adventure throwing me the most awkward curve balls. Although, this summer program was short, I found a new little Disney family in Hollywood Studios, I got to live with some great roommates who I'm absolutely dreading having to leave, I've been reunited with old friends and have met some very special people who have completely turned my world upside down (and for the better), and I finally feel as if I'm actually starting to live for myself. It's a great feeling.

#2 of 4 Parks 1 day challenge!

Next week will be another CP graduation and another round of "see ya laters." This time of course will be very different. I keep telling asking myself why I put myself through DCP again, even if it was only for the summer. It will tear you apart emotionally so bad and it sounds so dumb but it's all so worth it, (at least in my opinion), and I can't ever put it into words how impactful this all is. As my girlfriend Naudia always says, "Life comes at ya fast." 

Nothing has ever been more true, but I am thankful for every little bit of that time I've been given to grow. 

Next updates coming at you soon.

Stay rad friends.

and as always....

Keep the magic,
