Finishing My Second Year of Nursing School

The semester is over and my final exams are written and done. I can officially say that I survived my second year of nursing school. This whole year went by so quickly, I'm a little disoriented by it. But it was stressful, amazing and endlessly fascinating all at once. It kind of blows my mind to think about how much I've learned in the past 2 years and how much I have left to learn. The further I get into my studies, the more I love my career choice and the more I know I made the right choice.

I've reached the part of my life where 50% of me is excited for the future and 50% of me wants everything to slow down. One half of me just can't wait to graduate and start working as a nurse, moving out and getting my own place and basically just beginning my life as an independent, working woman. But the other half of me is the scared half. The one that's bewildered at how it's already been 2 years and that in just over a year from now, I'll be writing my exam to become a registered nurse. How will I ever be ready for that in just over a year???

Well for now, I can put all that on hold. Because it's summer (even though the weather here would say otherwise). I have 3 months off to myself, to enjoy and relax. I'm really excited for it. As usual, I have a lot of plans that will most likely not become a reality but I will still be content if my summer consists of reading, netflix and hanging out with friends.

I will also be back to blogging on a regular basis! So let me know if there's anything you want to see on this blog, I am very open to suggestions! :)

Hope you're all having a lovely week so far,

The BEST and EASIEST Waffle Recipe! (Blogmas Day 9)

When it starts to get chilly out, I find myself making waffles pretty often. In fact, our Sunday breakfast usually consists of waffles of some kind. And in my house, I'm the designated waffle chef. I have the best recipe for waffles that are truly delicious AND any lazy chefs dream; its all done in one bowl, with ingredients everyone has in their kitchen. Literally foolproof and delicious. Perfect for Christmas morning! Makes anywhere from 8-12 waffles, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Ingredients: 2 cups of All-Purpose flour 1 tablespoon of baking powder 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon of salt 2 eggs (beaten) 1 teaspoon of vanilla (but you can add another 1/2 teaspoon if you want a stronger vanilla taste!) 1-3/4 cups of milk 1/4 cup vegetable oil Directions: 1) In a big bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar and salt) 2) Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add your wet ingredients 3) Mix

1 Year of Covid-19: A reflection

It feels like just yesterday we were all feeling the anxiety and uncertainty of a new disease that was spreading quickly around the world that no one truly understood yet. We were facing the first wave of cases, the fear of going outside and being around people and the first round of quarantines and restrictions. It feels like just yesterday, but also so long ago. I, and I am sure many others, am feeling a mix of emotions. Sad for the loss of comfort we once had. Grief for all the lives lost and permanently changed. Thankful for my health and that of my family. Gratitude for the scientists and frontline workers alike, working tirelessly behind the scenes I hope that one day we can return to a new normal. I hope that one day I'll be able to go to work and not feel afraid to get too close to my coworkers and patients. I hope that no one will ever again have to face the end of their lives all alone. I hope that no one has their life cut short because of an insidious virus that

Blogilates Beginner's Calendar 2.0: Review & Final Update

I've officially completed all 28 days of the Blogilates Beginner's Calendar and firstly, I have to say that I'm pretty damn proud of myself, because it was pretty difficult but I stuck with it until the end. And I had fun in the process! So, how much of a difference does this calendar really make? Does it work? Here are my final thoughts. This workout program really works, but you need to work at it too. If you're going to half ass the workouts, eat badly and skip days, you really won't see a huge difference. I really did my best to stick with it and work hard at it and I really have seen a difference. The thing about Blogilates that I enjoyed is that you won't just see a difference in your body, you'll see a difference in your mindset and motivation as well. Physically, since I began the calendar, I lost 10 pounds and I feel so much stronger than I was before. My muscles, especially my legs are so much more defined than they used to be. Cassey als
