Wrote a ninety-page senior thesis. I pulled a lot of all-nighters, ate a lot of really bad food and lived in a constant state of anxiety for about six months, and even though I still occasionally have nightmares where I am asked to add a new chapter or defend it, I am starting to gain enough distance that I can look back and see what an accomplishment it actually was.
Me in the stacks.
The beautiful spring morning I finished my thesis.
Graduated from college.
Toured churches in Montreal and Quebec with my college singing group. Visited many a hotel bar.

Moved to Chicago.
Had the awesome privilege of being part of President Obama's grassroots campaign in Chicago. I couldn't imagine working with a more diverse and inspiring group of people. The commitment and passion of the movement was incredible, and I am proud to be a part of this moment of history.

Started working for Barbour Chicago. As a long time fan of the brand, I am so happy to be a part of the first-ever Chicago store. I also got to model some clothes at a neighborhood fashion show, which means I can start telling people at parties that I'm a part-time model, right?
The eleven Barbour jackets in our apartment. Embarrassing?
Celebrated my first Christmas away from home, and my first Christmas with Andrew.
