Hello all,
I hope everyone has had a productive week as you all have been preparing for the end of the semester with papers and projects. As a senior on campus who is getting ready for graduation, so I know it is a tough time in the semester. I am also a student athlete at Fontbonne and I work outside of school downtown at Busch Stadium. It has definitely been a stressful few weeks since we have been back from spring break because there is just so much to do. I will give you all the advice that I have been given from other some of my life mentors who I have known for a while. Even though it may be a stressful time in the school year for students, just remember to breath and smile along the way. If you remember to smile and stay positive you will make it to the finish line. Although you may be overwhelmed with all of your assignments and deadlines, but know you will make it through to May. Sometimes I feel as though things are being thrown at me all at once, but it only lasts for so long and then the semester will be over.

There are lots of songs that came out in 2017 that I love. The kind of music I usually listen to is pop. To list a few: Shape of You by Ed Sheeran, Caroline by Amine, Under the Bridge by Adele, Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande, and Say It by Tove Lo. I usually listen to these songs on Pandora. It is an app you can download on your phone. I listen to Pandora when I exercise. I usually exercise in the DSAC. On the third floor there is a track and I walk around that.
My Spring break was pretty good! I got to relax at home while drinking lots of tropical beverages! I took the GRE so that I can apply for grad school. I’m really glad to have gotten that over with. In fact, I just returned the 5lb book I used to study back to the library today. Returning it felt really good, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders! This week I was offered the retail management internship at Dillard’s. This was a very long and stressful process. The person in charge of it had left and I had to go through the process of applying and being interviewed all over again! Had I not got this internship I would have a very serious problem!! I would have to go through the strenuous process of finding something else!!!!!
I’m really glad that from now on I can just focus on my studies and that’s it.

There are lots of things I am really excited about that are going to happen in the next three months of my life. To start with, I am interested to see what the evening is like at my high school’s annual Buona Festa auction. For the second year in a row it will be held on my high school’s campus and it is a big fundraiser event. Another thing I am excited about that many Americans have been anxiously awaiting is the premiere of the Beauty and the Beast Live action film. I am so interested to see how magical the remake of this movie will be once it finally comes out in theaters in mid March.
Something I am most enthusiastic about is the upcoming spring golf season that starts the first full week of March. My team practices at the Highlands in Forest Park and mostly we practice individually based on our own schedules. Our first spring tournament will be a few weeks after our first practice, during the weekend of April 7th up in Monmouth, Illinois. I am so anxious about my final golf season as a college athlete because I want to do my very best and leave all of what I have out on the golf course. I can’t believe there are only a few more van rides and a few more overnights in hotels with my amazing golf team. I have made so many great memories over the last three and a half years and I can’t wait to make more memories throughout my final spring season.
One other major thing I am really looking forward to this spring is graduation on May 8th. I am excited to walk onto that arena floor alongside all of my classmates and fellow athletes. Throughout this semester I am motivated to do my very best in my classes and make the most of my final weeks in college surrounded by my friends. For me it is hard to imagine not having some of my friends who are originally from other cities to not be close by anymore. But personally I am anxious about what particular job I will have after graduation as I know there are lots of opportunities for me based on my major.
Until next week, I hope you enjoyed reading this weeks post and I am definitely hopeful for what lies ahead in the coming months.

Hello everyone!
This is my first time blogging with Fontbonne and I am pretty excited to see how it goes this semester. I am a second semester senior at Fontbonne and I have truly enjoyed my last three and a half years here. I still can’t believe that graduation is just around the corner, but I know God has a plan for me once it comes around. For the last three years I have been on the Women’s golf team at Fontbonne and I have made so many friends while on the team. I have made so many memories in other cities and can’t wait to tell you more about my adventures on the golf team as my final season approaches. I have also been a member of the service organization on campus at Fontbonne for the last three years and I really enjoy taking other students to service sites off campus.
I have lived here in St. Louis my whole life and I am a die hard Cardinals baseball fan. I am also an only child and I have a dog back at home. I am very close with my family and I enjoy traveling to different parts of the United States with my immediate family. I can’t wait for my new adventure with my parents in May to discover a few new cities. Stay tuned to hear more about life at Fontbonne and who I am.
