I spent this summer taking two courses: Human Physiology and Primate Evolution. They were both really enjoyable but took up my entire summer. All I had time for was those courses and my dog, Yumi. She's a 1-year-old toy poodle, and I spend way too much time spoiling her.

Recently I have been going through a Harry Potter phase that has no end in sight. In May, I went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida which only served to intensify my love for it. I had read the series as a child but did not realize the magnificence of it until I re-read the books in January this year. They have reignited my love for stories and fictional worlds, and they are pretty much all I think about these days. Also, I have just started reading a series called The Raven Cycle, and I have a feeling I'm going to adore it just as much.
My future is unclear in spite of my junior/senior status (I took a gap semester last fall and am now confused about my status). Most of my friends already have their careers planned out while I only recently settled on a major due to my indecisive personality. Nursing is my current plan until I can find something that suits me better. I will be happy if that is what I end up doing, though, because taking care of others is something my heart finds immense joy in doing. My dream job would be creating a cartoon/animated show, but I have not yet found any doors/opportunities for that route. All I know is that cartoons have always brought me happiness, and I would love to be able to spread that same kind of happiness to others.
Good luck to everyone and here's to a great semester!
