My favorite time of the year is halloween and it's finally here. I think dressing up with your partner or friends and having a fun night is the best way to celebrate it. I also have always loved the decorations and going out to pumpkin patches and mazes around this time. On Friday I am dressing up as the Joker with my girlfriend and we're going out in Pittsburgh and then on Saturday we're coming back here to slip and I have some hometown friends coming up as well. I hope everyone has a good time because I know I will.

Lately, I have been trying to find a better balance between school, work, and taking care of myself. It's been challenging to keep up with everything, but I have realized how important it is for me to find things that help me recharge. I’ve started writing a bit and playing my game again, which has surprisingly helped me want to get my work done so then I can go back to those things. I’ve also been trying to spend less time on my phone and more time being present with friends and family. Even though life feels busy right now, I’m learning that balance isn’t about having equal time for everything, it’s deciding what to put your energy to that matters most to you.

I recently just switched my major to PAFM from SWE. I am really looking forward to what this new path has in store for me now and in my future. I’ve always been interested in health, exercise, and helping others live active lifestyles, so PAFM feels like the perfect fit. The major focuses on both the science of physical activity and the skills needed to manage fitness programs, which I find really exciting. A goal of mine has always been to own a fitness gym with equipment and fields for people to practice sports. Even though I’m just starting out and haven't really started my new classes, I already feel confident that this major will help me build success in my future and that this is what I should've been doing from the start.
