Oh, summer!

Wow, I can’t believe how this academic year is flying, especially this semester. 15 more days and we are off to take our final exams . . . and then what’s gonna happen?

I’m super excited that summer’s approaching, but to be honest, I’m also a little bit scared—I’m not entirely sure what I’ll be doing during the summer. But before I talk about my summer plans, let’s talk about all the other interesting and exciting things going on this month.

I have a lot of friends who are graduating this May, so I am super excited to spend their special days with them. On May 19th, I’ll be going to a week long chapter camp with some of my friends from Bryn Mawr’s InterVarsity Christian fellowship group. It’s going to be my second time on the retreat and I am so happy to go back. After that, I will go to Wesleyan University for my sister’s graduation (oh yes!!!! I am beyond exhilarated for that day!). And then I will return to Bryn Mawr to work reunion weekend. It is going to be a busy week, but worth-it :D. I’m also thinking of working in Carpenter Library for three weeks or so, so that I save some money before I go back home for the rest of the summer.

We shall see what this summer brings us! If you’re in a similar position and you didn’t get a formal, paid internship, it’s alright to move on and volunteer in organizations that can also give you wonderful experiences. Don’t go too hard on yourself, relax, lay back and enjoy your summer! I hope that you’re having a wonderful end of the semester and are open to whatever the summer brings you!
