Happy isn't something I always have in my day-to-day life. In the last year, there have been a lot of days where happy feels like the last emotion I could experience. Stress over school, relationships, and my lifestyle take control of my life and their grip doesn't loosen easily. It takes a drastic change, usually found at the end of a seven hour car trip.
Life is more happy when I am home in Michigan, surrounded with familiar faces, places, and coffee houses. Even here, the stress of school still haunts me. I have nightmares about being late to class or missing a test I didn't know I had. Relationships follow me everywhere, and there always things that need improving. Sometimes the only way to do that is to have a good cry, go to bed early, and try again tomorrow. But my lifestyle in Michigan does change, drastically. I sleep. A lot. It is glorious. I also get to spend time with some of the people I love most in this world.
Now I am facing the reality of having returned to Kentucky and another three months of seven am labs, homework, and doing my own laundry. I didn't want this break to end, but alas, I don't get everything I want. Bummer. So here are some pictures of things that make me happy in Michigan. Enjoy!
