So This is Summer?

As you may know if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, I am officially done with University for the year, which means the start of a summer of rest and relaxation... Right? Wrong. In planning for my summer, I applied for a few opportunities that I didn't think I'd get at all... They were long shots …

The Conflicted Thoughts of a Contact-Lens Wearer…
