Mayday, mayday..

Dear Earth, 

Could ya slow down just a little bit so that maybe this year wouldn't fly by so fast?

Is it actually May 2nd already, or is this some kind of sick joke? 

Just curious,

Love,

The girl in disbelief.

Now, I'm not sure if it's just me, or students in general right now who are loving and absolutely hating the month of May. I think there are general pros and cons to each month, but May really enjoys confusing the hell out of all of us. Here's my pro's and cons..

-Pro: It's finally starting to warm up, and there's not 18+ inches of snow on the ground!

-Con: All of the really obnoxious and disgusting bugs decide it's okay to come out...and it's actually not okay.

-Con#2: It's still about 65 degrees here, which in theory is not THAT warm. Apparently, someone sent a memo to girls that it's okay to wear shorts ( and when I say shorts I should actually be saying underwear with a denim lining) with Ugg boots. WHY. Please someone explain to me why Ugg boots with shorts was ever considered "trendy" by anyone, anywhere, ever..

-Pro: The spring 2013 semester is almost over, which means summer is right around the corner..

-Con: You read it, the spring semester is almost over. I have two weeks left...which also means that finals week is in one week..Stress anyone? I think the most terrible part of finals week, is that you know that it's coming, but since it's so nice out you neglect your notes and decide to drive around and relax...or maybe that's just me.

Alright, I'll stop whining for now. I'm really genuinely happy that it's May, and it's finally starting to feel like spring. This semester in college was my absolute hardest. Shout out to me for saving two math classes until my last full semester. Thank you, advisement board, for not telling me what a terrible decision that was. Anyone who is in their final semester of school knows that the stress right now is out of control. I find myself thinking all the time, " when did we all grow up?" I feel like I was just walking across the stage at my high school graduation, when in two weeks, I'll be walking across the stage getting my Associates degree. 

    

I find it insane how fast time flies. It's so very cliche, but here's how I see it. I've had my IPhone since 2011 

( which seems like last year, right?) and I was going through the pictures on it.  I have pictures from prom, and graduation, and senior day (circa 2011). I have photos of my god daughter  from the day she was  born up (2012) until about a week ago. This beautiful, precious little (not-so-)baby anymore has grown up right before my eyes. She now can walk...and talks a mile a minute. Wasn't she just born? It's easy to see how fast time is really going as you see someone grow. 

PS: Just want to give my best friend of 20 years the biggest congratulations in the world for receiving the most incredible internship opportunity in the world. No one deserves it more than you, and I am so proud. 

London's waiting. And I'll  be waiting for stories when you get home!

April wasn't too bad, right? And even if it was, it's now long gone. 

Here's to the pro's of May, and the months to come. 

Here's to the sleepless nights and studying that are to come as well.

So here's to us, and another month in the history books.

I hope you all have a lovely May.

Thank you for following along with me through April, it means the world and more to me.

I'll be sure to post more soon.

And until then,

-K.
