An Update | July 2019



Well hello, there Internet!

I told you it might be a while till you heard from me again and I think a 3-month wait isn't too bad compared to my usual posting schedule of maybe once a year. *more like once every year and a half but who's counting?* 

So I guess y'all might want an update of my life happenings, or if you don't feel free to just skip this post and I'll see you in a year! But to those who do stick around and hear me out, I apperciate your faces and wish to squeeze them all one day.

Let's start with a big thing - I graduated from college! And oh boy am I happy to be done...at least with undergrad. Because that's big thing #2 - I got accepted to graduate school! You know me, the overachiever who knows is considering going for her Ph.D. *someone remind me of my student loans every time I think about that idea, please and thank you.* I am quite excited though to start this new chapter of my life and start to narrow my focus in my studies to communications and marketing which has always been my first love.

I also accepted a job offer to work for a company that is absolutely incredible and they treat me with such kindness and provide me with the freedom to do a lot more than I ever thought I would, especially at this stage in my career. I'm incredibly grateful.

What else, what else?



OH! I got a new pup, his name is Frankie and he's my little bud. He follows me everywhere and between him and my boy, Louie, they make my heart so happy. They've been my saving graces as I went through a rough patch over the past few months.

Speaking of the past few months and my rough patch, I spent the greater portion of the winter and spring in a constant state of anxiety, panic, and depression. I never felt so out of control and thankfully I have a fantastic support system around me of not only family and friends but doctors and therapists that got me through a difficult time. Maybe I'll write a whole post about those few months another time, but I'm finally feeling better and I just want to focus on that for right now.

So to those who will read this, remember this: you're not alone, and there is always hope. :)

I will speak to you all soon, thanks for staying tuned. I know this wasn't much but I just felt like saying a quick hello and getting back into the swing of things, since well this blog gives me tons of anxiety. Lol!

Have a lovely summer!

Speak soon!

An Update | April 2019



I'm just going to go ahead and say it - yes...the donut was delicious, thanks for asking! 

No no no, I'm here to answer the age old question of "why can't Haley keep to this blogging thing?'

The answer to that fantastic question person inside my head is that I get anxious almost every single time I open up this thing. It gives me nothing but a pit in my stomach of impending doom, guilt, with a dash of ugh. Isn't that lovely? Probably not what you wanted to hear and if it is, well then...you're not nice. 

But seriously, this thing gives me more anxiety than I usually like to admit and it's something I don't think I'll ever bring back full time but who knows. For now, though, I guess I'll continue to come and check in every once in a while to give y'all an update. 

A lot has changed since I started this blog at 15 years old. It's been 7 years and I still remember the first time I wrote a blog, I was so excited and terrified of people finding out I did this, and I don't regret one moment of it. I think about blogging often and how maybe I should have kept up with it or I should have pushed past all the fear that I associated it with. But I didn't and I'm okay with that because it was a part of this crazy journey I've been on. 

I mean seriously, in front of all of you, I got my first job, graduated high school, started college, transferred colleges, turned 21, met some of the most amazing people, lost people and pets, and now I'm getting ready to graduate college and go to grad school. I don't know, but it just felt right that I should let you all know what's going on. 

So to wrap this all up, I want to say thank you for reading this little space on the Internet I've been fortunate enough to hold for so many years. And I promise to keep you all updated on my life and all the boring things that happen in it! Haha! 

Maybe I'll talk to you soon, maybe I won't. Either way, I hope you have a fantastic day. 

Talk soon! 

- Haley 

P.S. Yes, I did hide all my old posts. You're welcome for less cringe existing on the Internet, no one ever needs to see some of those again! Haha!
