Graduation is a special time here at the University of South Florida – all of the baby Bulls have grown up and it’s time for them to get that diploma and move on with their life *cue Graduation by Vitamin C*. As an affordable graduation photographer at USF, I love shooting seniors in their last moments on campus – whether it be by the Bulls or in the MLK fountain. Our campus can become covered in glitter around graduation time and it’s not good for our beautiful grounds or the animals that live there. It’s pretty likely that your major has it’s own separate building on campus – why not get a photo with it in the background?

and I wanted to finally write about one of the day trips we took one weekend – to Brighton, England. The highlight of Brighton is definitely the Brighton Palace Pier which is similar to Brooklyn’s Coney Island or the Santa Monica Pier. We were being pretty cheap so we ended up just grabbing lunch at a fish and chips place near the pier and snacks from a Sainsbury’s. Don’t forget to check out my post about my day trip to Dover or my must-have essentials for traveling.

Below you can find my goals for 2019 – while they won’t work exactly for you, you can always use these to inspire you to set some goals and create resolutions for 2019 🙂 Please share your own with me in the comments! * only eat out once on the weekend * learn more about investing and invest by the end of the year * study 6 hours a week for the GRE (January – May) * stay consistent with posting once a week on both youtube and blog * spend 2 hours a week learning a useful skill for my blog or doing something to help gain traffic * get better at editing with premiere and lightroom * keep phone on do not disturb from 8am-6pm monday through thursday * shoot more with my camera(s) and less with my phone * delete apps that you don’t use * unsubscribe from food and clothing apps that hinder health goals * be able to run a 5k in 30 minutes * use headspace to fall asleep every night * travel to a new city every month

My fitness journey went off the rails (womp womp) but since I’m going to Spain for spring break and graduating in May, I have some serious motivation to take better care of myself! My two events at my office (the Homecoming Concert and Winter Wonderland) both went great and I’m super excited to see what spring semester has in store! cum laude from USF in Spring with Honors in Psychology and also from the Honors College which I’m excited for! I’m taking a gap year and going home to Minnesota for a little over a year!
