Taking July Off

In the spirit of enjoying my last summer before grad school, I am going to be traveling around Europe for the month of July! So you won't hear from me again until August, so I fully intend to be back in business once I am back in the country with some posts about the new cities that I've visited. Have a nice summer!

This Is Beautiful: Not Working

Honestly taking a break from my job before going to grad school was one of the best things that I've done. I could sleep in, go do tourist-y things that I never had time for, and hang out with the people I wanted to say goodbye to. It was some well-deserved rest and relaxation.

I think stay-cations are awesome to be honest. Vacations have just been co-opted into the working mentality with the idea that you HAVE to take time off and HAVE to go somewhere else and HAVE to do all of these other things. But what if you didn't and just had a low-stress, stay-where-you-are-and-chill kind of vacation? Honestly I would highly recommend.

Summer is now here officially, so consider just taking it easy and taking some time off to just relax at home! Travel is a hassle, just stay put and appreciate what's around you.
