I still can't believe I'm going back to school today as a second semester senior! Ok, technically second semester starts Tuesday, but still. This year is flying by and to be quite honest, it's kind of scary not knowing exactly what's coming next. I'm someone who likes to plan things out ahead of time. Just take one look at my Lilly agenda and it becomes blatantly obvious. At the same time, I'm so excited to see what the future holds! There are so many things to come and I can't wait to …

College Interview
This week I went to my first individual college interview! I was pretty nervous beforehand because I wanted to make the best possible first impression. It turned out to be a wonderful experience and quite a lot of fun!
