In the last month, I have been very busy. Not bad, stressful busy at all - just lots of interviewing (always a good sign), meetings, traveling for interviews (also, good sign), and livin' it up for my last few, sweet, precious weeks as a college student. I was about to say as a Red Raider but, let's be real, that would be a lie. Once a Red Raider, always a Red Raider. I may not be the biggest sports fan or know all the trivia of my school. But, one thing I do know: I love Texas Tech. I love being apart of this community for the last four years. I love the Scarlet and Black, the Matador Song, going out on Broadway with all the others who enjoy a good marg, and just being in this town. I am getting sad to leave but have found that, while we must acknowledge and be aware of our feelings, we cannot dwell on the sad parts or the big change ahead. That just get too depressing and scary. Rather, I am excited for the freshness, to meet new people, to be a big kid, to have a new norm for a while.
In the coming weeks, I have some epic experiences. Here's a quick run-down of my life and the excitement that happens between now and the end of May...:
Marfa: 6 days. Girls trip. Me and my ladies, Lauren and Missy. Marfa - please, put on your safety belt. We are ready to dominate.
Orlando: 21 days. Family time. Harry Potter world. Basking in the sun - what more could a girl ask for?
Vegas: 25 days. Need I say more?

LJT Music Festival: 10 weeks. A weekend of good music and excellent company. Lucky me.
Graduation: 13 weeks. The sweet realization that a) I am done with school...b) I am "responsible and educated"...c) a job will require my full attention for at least 45 hours a week. Whoa. Bring it!
Scotland: 14 weeks. Family trip to see our "roots." A break from the heat of Texas Summers to bundle up, drink some quality whiskey, and see the world with my padres and hermanos.

Lucky me, right? I am very blessed to have so many fun and exciting events ahead. What's going on in your life to be excited about right now? Even if it's just a yummy bowl of ice cream or a weekend to be lazy, don't forget to look forward to life.
Marfa means...a place I can always come home to.
