Of course there were always those … Continue reading Average is Alright
Seeking the Heights
Two weeks ago, I stood in the Indiana University Tennis Center with a thousand of other talented, beautiful women counting down from ten to reveal where, and with who, we would be spending the next three and a half years. Sorority recruitment, to say the least, was nowhere near to what I expected it to … Continue reading Seeking the Heights
Finding Closure
As I reflect on the past year, it is safe to say that I have grown as a student, a sister, a friend and as a person. I have had some of the most incredible souls come into my life and I have had some of the most toxic make their way out. With a year … Continue reading Finding Closure
