Yay!

One more semester down. One more semester closer to my goal. Yay! I celebrated with a cranberry-orange mocktail and movie night with the family! We even had popcorn and freshly baked brownies.

I have been chatting with my close friends from high school, who are now considered my sisters. We’ve been talking about celebrating our achievements big and small. So today was the perfect day for me to do that. I often get frustrated with how long it is taking me to finish school. It doesn’t seem like a semester is worth celebrating, but we’ve been talking about how important it is to love ourselves, and how appreciating our efforts no matter how small they feel is one of the greatest ways to do that!
