Hey there everyone!
Can you believe that we are already in week 12 of the
semester? I sure can't! I hope everyone’s semesters are going well! Mine has
been going alright, very busy!
Around mid- September one of the main events that happened
to me and my family is that my dad got married! My bother Andrew and I gained a
step mom, Jill, along with two step siblings, Justin and Alyson. I also gained
another dog, named Wren. The wedding was very small, but special. Below is me
and the new additions to our family.
October was also a busy month for me. I attended the College
of Agriculture Career fair to search for a potential summer internship. I had a
phone interview with a company and am still waiting to hear back from them. I
am looking forward to finding out what my summer plans will end up being! Also
in on October, 8th I had a birthday, marking my 2 decades in this
world! I can’t believe that I am 20! I had a great fall break/birthday weekend
spent with family and friends.
As many of you know, I am a member of the Purdue
Horticulture Club. This last month we took our fall trip to Chicago. We visited
the Chicago Botanic Garden and Garfield Park Conservatory. We had a great trip
and got to see some neat plants that you defiantly don’t see on a daily basis. On our way home we also stopped at Fair Oaks
Farm at their new restaurant, Farmhouse. I recommend visiting all of these neat
places if you get the chance! Pictured below is a neat bridge at the Chicago
Botanic Garden.
I just recently I signed my first apartment lease! I am
excited to live with and build my friendship with the wonderful friends I have
meet here at Purdue. We will be living in the apartments right across from the
horticulture building. I like the dorm life, but couldn’t be more excited to
live in an apartment starting my junior year!
As we all look forward to Thanksgiving break, I hope
everyone enjoys the last weeks of the semester! I wish you all the best of
luck! Keep cheering on the Boilers! Basketball season is up next!!
Go Boilers!
