Hey everybody!  

October is just flying by, it's been a really busy month! This week is the end of first quarter, which means that I have three quarters left of high school...what a scary thought! It also means that all grades are due at the end of the week so it's definitely time to make sure everything looks good! 

I've been doing a lot of college prep, including visiting University of Oregon this past Friday. I had a really great visit and am super excited for whatever my future holds! I also submitted all of my college applications this past Sunday, which is really exciting and I'm glad to have it off my mind. Now all there's left to do is wait...

I'm really excited for Halloween! I love seeing everyone's costumes and how creative they are. My TA is doing a Halloween themed party tomorrow and I'm really excited. TA parties are the best because everyone brings a ton of really good food and we all just hangout and listen to music, or talk, or play games. I love my TA and I'm excited for our last Halloween party. 

Hope you guys are all doing well, check back in around November 11th for more!
