Finally I’m almost finished! I have one final project on Monday and then I’m FREE! I can’t wait for school to end and to see my friends that are coming home from college 
Last week was my last days at Walker, We took a couple of class photos:
I had such a blast with these kids and can’t wait to start going back during May!
Things have been really been getting better lately.Not that thing were completely horrible at any point in time but I’ve been a lot more relaxed than my regular self and it feels really good. Last night I spent some time watching the hawks and bulls game while throwin back a couple of miller lights haha What a great way to spend a Tuesday night!
This weekend I’ll be playing in the final Greek tournament of the Spring. I can’t believe tournament time is already over! 
… But, all that means is summer is around the corner. Summer= Cubs rooftop games so I can’t wait!
Go CUBBIES!
Lately, I’ve been focusing less on myself and more on the people around me. I’ve found that by doing this I’ve been able to become the person I’ve been striving to be the last year and half. I’m also starting to remember the benefit of meeting new people. I always thought to myself “the people I surround myself with are good enough” and while that may be true, it’s nice to meet someone new because you can become anyone you want with that person. You can start fresh, you have a clean slate to allow that person create his/her judgement of you based on your encounters and nothing else. Sometimes we all need a clean slate and an encounter with someone who doesn’t know us at all. I think we can become who we really are or want to be with these people we just meet because there are no past encounters or past issues we have with these people. Meeting someone new was a chance for me to just be myself again, the carefree, happy person that I knew I was but had lost for quite sometime. I had been stuck in this “realm” of over-analyzing, stressing and worrying about life instead of living it and now because of this small encounter I was able to remember the real person I am capable of being. And to tell you the truth, I really LOVE that person.
It’s really a healthy thing to start fresh and remember the person that we once were. Sometimes its so easy to lose ourselves in our relationships. It’s nice to know that it’s ok to take a step back and remember who we were by surrounding ourselves with new company.
I’m finally understanding that life is so much more about making other people feel good than it is about making yourself feel good. If you put in effort in making someone else happy your own happiness becomes a byproduct of that.
AMEN SISTAS!

I loved every bit of this post Angie! amen to that!! It’s not about us (while we still SHOULD work on ourselves) but about others around us and loving like God loves. without this, my life is meaningless as strange as it sounds!
Ahhh girl you are so right, I have learned this lately! I used to be caught up in my friend circle that I was so used to but I have been loving hanging out with new people, trying new things and it just makes life so much more interesting! I have found that when I make other people happy, I also make myself happy because I am happy that they are happy… confusing hahah a little bit? One of my girlfriends was having a bad week last week and I was next to a flower shop so I picked her up her favourite flowers because her boyfriend never got her any for their 5 year anniversary and I felt SO good about it because of the smile she had on her face! So why not make 2 happy people instead of one
COULD NOT AGREE MORE ANGIE! ive just been discovering this, this year actually- its such a big life revelation!
Angie, you are amazing! You are truly one of the biggest inspirations to me! You should feel so proud of yourself, and it really seems that you do! I’m like two years older than you, and I want to be like you when I grow up! Haha.
