A legend has passed. 

Mandela helped change the world, and it is important to acknowledge his amazing achievements.

He had the chance to leave prison, but did not because the conditions were for him to leave the country.

He did not want to leave his people behind. And in the end he succeeded. 

"When people are determined they can overcome anything" - Mandela

thanksgiving break

Finally here! I am staying at the Grand Beach Hotel on Collins Ave, just like last time. 

My friend does not arrive until tomorrow, so I have the room to myself for now. 

Got about 1 hour of  sun before it went away, so now I am relaxing in my room.

Probably headed out later, maybe do some shopping. 

AH, FINALLY BREAK!!

In less than 24 hours I will be back in Miami. So excited!

a vietti evening

After a long, hard week, I treated myself to a bottle of red and a bottle of moscato from Vietti.

I worked there this summer, and man of they make good wine. 

I'm in heaven right now.

Add some cheese and raspberries, and it's a perfect evening.

Looking forward to spending Winter Break with Aski Baski!

world toilet day

The UN has decided that today is World Toilet Day.

2.5 billion people do not have toilets.

It makes you think about how lucky you are that you have one. Only once in my life have I HAD to "go" outside, on my trek in India, and it was not pleasant. I am very thankful that I have a toilet. 

You can check out the website here.

skating with gamma phi

My sorority girls threw a philanthropy event, Skate for Strong Girls. It was fun, even though I never even put on skates. My friend Olivia also came, and she is a wonderful skater, so she showed us some of her moves!
