Don’t you just love how fast short weeks seem to go? And if you’re lucky, today is also the first summer Friday of the year! #score

I’m relishing my weekend in DC after being away the past two weekends. The UVA Club of Washington is hosting a fun Potomac River booze cruise I’m going to tonight with some sorority sisters, and tomorrow Monica and I are making a much anticipated trek to Cactus Cantina. Though I don’t have much homework yet for my Visual Communications class, I am anticipating a heavy design workload this summer. Combine that with travel, and things get really tight. Thus, I’m going to try to knock out some blog to-dos so that when my schedule is more hectic, y’all still have something new to read!

Have a great weekend! x
