I have never been the best test taker. I am not sure when a piece of paper became my worst nightmare. When I opened the results page and saw “FAIL” for the second time in a row, I was devastated.

So, how did I get over it? Time. Lots of time. And I threw myself into studying harder than before to ensure that I could pass the exam the second time around.

I will just dust myself off and try again.

The planners I love the most are the ones that offer more than a calendar. My goal with this post is to equip you with space to dream, outline goals, and plan this next year with purpose so you can achieve success!

I am beyond grateful that I had my parents to teach me the true value of hard work and how to save money from so early on in my life. Life after college wouldn’t have been as easy if I didn’t have them there reminding me and nagging me about finances and making wise financial decisions.

Julian proposed on the evening of 6/25/2016 with both our families present. He told me we were having a USA vs. Colombia game watch party. Minutes after arriving to his aunt’s house, a trio walked in playing our song “Amorcito Corazon” with my family in tow. I was super SURPRISED. And, I was also really happy that my family was able to make the trip up to be there with us. It was PERFECT.
