Life Updates
It’s been a while.. okay, a LONG while. I got an e-mail saying that today marked 4 years since I created my Tumblr account, so I thought I’d pay a visit. It’s pretty wild to see how much life has changed since my last post. So, here are the highlights:
-My dream graduate school? I ended up getting into the program, which was nothing short of God’s grace. Looking back, I feel like God was just teaching me to press into him more in those dark moments, rather than relying on my humanness for comfort. I am currently in my second year of graduate coursework, and boy is it busy. I’m juggling an externship, classes, and attempting to study for my boards all at the same time. It’s crazy busy, but I am enjoying every minute of it. Graduate School was/is a rollercoaster of emotions, but I am so thankful that I get to experience it.
-I met this boy.. This sweet, kind, nurturing soul who I am very lucky to call mine. We’ve been together for about a year, and what a year its been. I've always wanted to fall in love, and wondered what the hype was about. Falling in love has always been the topic of so many books, movies, songs, etc. and I always wondered if I would ever get the chance to fall in love? I did, and there isn’t anyone else I'd want to fall in love with. Falling in love was a journey that was scary, tough, rewarding, and so so sweet. It is so sweet to be loved by you NPT. My heart is yours.
-My sister is engaged, and to be married next year!! Its crazy. I’ve always prayed for this to happen, but I didn't think it would be happening so soon?? It’s beginning to hit me how quiet the house will be, and how I won’t have anyone to go on impromptu lunch/shopping dates with. She's been here for me my entire life.. how is it already time to let her go??
Life has rapidly changed for me in only 2 years, and I can’t wait to see how things will continue to change. But, the constant that has been in my life is Jesus. Praising him for granting me so many desires of my heart despite all of my shortcomings. He is so faithful. Praying that in another 4 years, I can come back and write about his continued faithfulness.
Until then,
-MM

Graduate School...
Ahh graduating college, the excitement, joy, and overwhelming happiness of being able to say goodbye to four grueling years, and hello to your first ever adult job! Well, not for me. Unfortunately, I have to attend two intense, scary, even more grueling years of graduate school before ever being able to say hello to my first adult job. The graduate application process was rough-filled with so many edited personal statements, transcript mishaps, and resume re-writes. Aside from the additional work, this time was filled with insecurity, worry, uncertainty, and mostly fear. I was terrified of not knowing where I was going to end up in a matter of a few short months. Yet, I trusted the process.
Fast forward a few months later.. I begin to receive acceptances! An exciting period, at least I thought it should be. After slowly receiving acceptances I came to the realization that I applied to schools I knew I was more than qualified of getting into- with the exception of two. One being my dream school. It was the perfect location, had a great reputation, and was the school I had set my sights on before even choosing where I wanted to begin my undergraduate career.
Fast forward another month.. I HEAR BACK FROM MY DREAM GRAD SCHOOL, it was a call- for an interview! I was ecstatic, overjoyed, I felt like I had practically gotten in. Oh, you wait, how I was so wrong. The day of the interview rolls around, and it was a group one. One of the interviewees seamlessly quoted Aristotle, while the other kept going on about herself. How was I? I was nothing but a ball of nerves, followed by spitting out endless streams of word vomit. OH OH and here’s the kicker- the grad school interviews 90 applicants, and only chooses 16. Call me crazy for thinking I have no shot of scoring an acceptance (shot, scoring, see what I did there, haha- I guess my sense of humor is still intact, well, sort of).
And now, to the present moment. I can’t help feeling stupid. Stupid for thinking I even had a shot of getting into this grad school. What breaks my heart even more was that in all of my friend groups, I was always labeled “the smart one,” never the “pretty one” or the “funny one” or the “witty one” my purpose in friend groups was so closely tied to my academics. So without that, what am I? I have no idea..
So I guess here begins my journey, as I realize that I'm way more than just a bunch of A’s on my transcript. I guess this is where I begin to realize who I really am...
