2019 Reflection + Goals For 2020

i used the exact same image when i wrote my goals for 2017!

On paper, 2019 was a really great year. I traveled, spent time with my family, saw some of my favorite bands in concert, and even had the biggest weight lifted off my shoulders when I received multiple job offers for after graduation! Yesterday I shared my highlights throughout the year, and it was nice to take a step back and realize how many great adventures I had throughout this past year. However, to me, 2019 was a bit of a disappointment, and it all had to do with my mindset.

Highlights of 2019


Happy second to last day of 2019! I wanted to share my annual post of curated highlights throughout the year. Tomorrow I plan to pop back in and share a more in-depth reflection of my year and some goals for 2020, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this little walk through my last twelve months! I would love for you to share your highlight(s) of the year down below, too!

If you're interested, you can find my highlights of 2018 here and 2017 here.

My Christmas List

Christmas 2017 in Dallas
How is Christmas one week away!! The entire concept of Christmas really hasn't occurred to me this year, especially not until I finished my last final yesterday and my dad *finally* asked me for my Christmas list ;) kidding, kind of. So, as usual, I'm sharing it here in case any of you, like me, haven't thought about adding anything to your own list until the last minute.

November Favorites

Is it just me or did November go by faster than any other month... ever??? I feel like Halloween was just last week, and now I'm in my last week of classes and thinking about Christmas gifts!!! Here's what I loved throughout November:

My Cyber Monday Purchases


Admittedly, I've been spending far too much money this semester and need to start dialing it back. We are talking major retail therapy being had over here when things are good, when things are bad, and when I'm bored.... which is a lot if you knew how much I've been skipping class lately. ....yeah, senioritis is so real.

Running 15 Miles (+ new running playlist)


On Friday I ran 15 miles!!!! I know that might not mean much to anyone else, but to me, I am so excited about this! The half marathon I did about three weeks ago was previously the most I'd run, and then on Friday, I decided to push myself and just see if I could do even more than that!
