Taking breaks throughout the year is a healthy way of finding peace, new adventures, and experiencing the unexpected. Luckily I am only interning at the moment and both of my jobs are flexible. I was traveling in Texas this past weekend for my Little sister in my sorority and visiting one of my good friends. I drove about 15 hours total with little sleep and no caffeine from Dallas to Lubbock to Austin to Dallas. It took me two and half months to plan it, and I wish I stayed longer because I wanted to go to Houston. This was a self-discovery and meaningful trip for me. Last time I was in Texas, I remember leaving on bad terms and not wanting to leave. I felt relieved to be back -- it was very emotional, I think I was crying a river but I was smiling at the same time. It definitely felt different being single in the city of Austin compared to when I was in a relationship. This trip determined my final thoughts about Austin. I love the city, the intensity and significance, with all of me.
Cheers to shorts and shirt weather in 70 degrees! The next day Minnesota welcomed me to -40 degree weather.
