Let me tell ya, college finals week when you don’t have any finals is something else. While a majority of the school is scrambling to finish assignments and cram for exams, me and the roomies have been chilling. I’m so grateful our Fashion Merchandising professors overloaded us during the school year so that we could have a relaxing, go at your own pace final few weeks. I grinded last week so that this week I could do nothing more than socialize.
And that I did. It’s safe to say my social battery is running on E but I’m loving every second of it. There is simply nothing better than soaking up these last few days all together. I move out on Friday and am feeling all the feels—so not ready for all of the goodbyes + tears this week.
With love, McKenz

Sunday, May 1
Off to the Mansh for one last event as an Alpha Phi. We had our end-of-the-year barbeque where we got to eat, pass down old merch, and receive senior gifts. My sweet little Logan wrote me the nicest note and got me a Dairy Queen + Barnes and Noble gift card. Grabbed ice cream with my people and cozied up in bed starting a new book!

Kickstarting Monday with a planning sesh + getting a blog post and YouTube video uploaded. I ran a few errands, did my laundry, and ate dinner with the roomies before throwing our final karaoke night. We had so many friends over to sing and boy did we sing, lol. There were tons of laughs and even a few tears. Grateful for this mini college tradition.

Spent most of the day cranking out my last assignment of the school year—a poster + presentation for my Fashion Marketing class. I went to the mansh for dinner and walked our old route afterward. Got dressed and headed out with the roomies. Although it was a Tuesday, it was truly one of the most fun nights of the school year.

Started the morning off with a breakfast date then off to the mall to grab some items for an upcoming collab. It’s been so long since I shopped in person so it was such a treat! We grilled out at The Box for dinner, caught the end of the baseball game, and went out to The Dusty for a little bit of line dancing. Talk about a jam-packed day!

There’s really nothing to do on a rainy Friday when everyone’s done with finals besides laze around on the couch. We spent most of our day doing so.

Saturday, May 7
Spent the first half of my day filming some of my last content here in Kent! I grabbed Lauren for a long walk along our favorite trail and then got ready for another night of socializing. I had appetizers with the roomies at Ray’s, birthday dinner with my Aphi girls at Bricco, and then put everyone all together for a night on the town. How cute was my butterfly top!
