Hello, June | 2017.

June has always been my favorite month. First and foremost, it’s because it’s my birthday month, so it’s always been a month full of celebrations. It’s also the beginning of summer which means the start of daily thunderstorms, backyard BBQs, and the promise of plenty of beach days ahead.
 This year, June marks the middle of my summer semester and the beginning of applying for externship. Talk about nerve wracking…but also super exciting! It’s crazy to think that this time next year I’ll be completing my final externship and applying for actual jobs. My top choice externship location just sent out an email with an attached student survey (aka the interview BEFORE the interview) and request for a resume, so it’s safe to say it’s been getting real.
 
This month also marks my first vacation of the year – a four day beach vacation in Jupiter with Ryan! We got a great deal on a local resort there, and I am so looking forward to a few days of relaxation on the east coast of Florida. If you’re familiar with the area and have any suggestions, send them my way! Jupiter is about 30 minutes north of Palm Beach, so I’m happy for recommendations in that area, as well.
 This month, I turn 26 and enter the last year of my “mid-twenties.” Wowza. When I turned 25 last year, despite the whirlwind of emotion that 24 was, I felt very secure – secure in my decision to quit my job and go back to school, secure in my relationships with my friends and with Ryan. Truthfully, not much has changed. Only now, three semesters in, I’m struggling to figure out which path of my chosen career path I will decide to take. But I guess the mystery is half the fun, right? Still, I hope 26 brings me some form of clarity. In the meantime, I guess I’ll enjoy the ride.

What does June mean for you this year?
