Good morning guys—today is a BUSY & productive day in my life at James Madison University. I started the morning kind of non-verbal (you know when you just need music for an hour?), but I always tell myself once I’m up and I’ve made my bed, I’ve already done the hardest thing. Then I headed to my media arts & design class (one of my favorites because I have it with a bunch of friends), and used my long break to study with my friend Anna for my first exam of the semester. I went to the rest of my classes after that, and even though I didn’t vlog a ton on campus, it was one of those days where you’re constantly moving but actually getting things done. After school I went to Bible study (literally love them), came home to decompress for a second, and talked through everything I have going on—especially with recruitment starting soon, I’m trying to stay not just on top of my work, but ahead. For dinner I made my pumpkin spice banana “pancakes” (egg whites, protein powder, banana… so easy and so good), then headed to my first Madison Dance Club practice of the semester. I’m on jazz and contemporary this year, and coming home at 11pm exhausted but so happy reminded me why I love being busy—busy is a blessing.
