Jaw Surgery FAQ

Anything involving my jaw surgery has pretty much fallen to the back burner these days. Yet when I look at the stats of my blog, I noticed I get the most hits from my jaw surgery posts. Lately, a lot of people have reached out to me with questions about my experience. I genuinely love how random strangers will reach out to me with questions and tell me how much my blog has helped them. So I wanted to create this FAQ post about my surgery, just so people can have a reference or quick guide to my surgery. This does not mean I don’t want people reaching out to me anymore, I just thought this would be more organized and list a bunch of facts I don’t think I’ve ever talked about before. The major posts for my recovery and post-op experiences are here and here. If you ever have anything you want to ask me about my surgery experience, please do! I love talking about it.

Adventures in Ireland

Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day! I’m going to Ocean City with a bunch of friends to kick off my Spring Break with a St. Patrick’s Day bar crawl! I’m not Irish, but I did go to Ireland this past January for a few days so for the first time ever I am really excited to celebrate this holiday. I thought today would be a great time to post about my adventures in Ireland, to get in the St. Paddy’s spirit. Enjoy!

No Fun February in Review:

Even though this month was only 28 days, I feel like it was the longest month ever. As today is March 1st, I wanted to share how my month of “no fun” went. The truth is, I didn’t stick to my rules as much as I thought I would have, but that doesn’t mean this challenge was a total waste.

Adventures In Scotland

Anyone who follows my Instagram knows I spent a glorious 3 weeks abroad this past January. I went on a Communication Arts Study Abroad Seminar in Edinburgh, Scotland in order to graduate (at least thats what I told my parents). The class focused on the culture and identity of Scotland, as well as the history of this medieval city. I wasn’t really sure what to expect but this trip was absolutely AMAZING! I made a bunch of new friends, a million new memories, a ton of new stories and took an insane amount of pictures. I’ll try to limit some of these pictures so this post isn’t super long, but here is a basic timeline of my trip and some of my favorite pictures I took:

A Balancing Act

I have been a really bad blogger lately. Not that this is a totally awful thing because my life is very full of other responsibilities. I just started my last semester college (shrieks) and that certainly makes me want to cherish every moment of the next few months. This also means I am saying yes to so many new and exciting things that come up. Wanna go see a drag show? ABSOLUTELY! Hey, there are salsa dancing classes this Saturday…SIGN ME UP! Yo, I need an actress for this student film I’m directing…SIGN ME UP! There is always something new and interesting to do, but that doesn’t mean other obligations or responsibilities can fall short. That being said, life can get really crazy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get everything you want to do done.

The idea for this post came to me last semester when one of my good friends asked me how I balance being a full time student, working two part time jobs, being in clubs, running a blog, working out, traveling, having a social life and more. Now that I’ve actually typed all of that out, that really does seem like a lot, but somehow I get it done.

For anyone who feels like they’re overwhelmed, walking on a tightrope or couldn’t possibly take on more stuff than they already do, here’s how I balance my life in order to get everything I both want and need to get DONE.

Bloomington Blog: My Weekend With Taylor

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting my best friend Taylor in Bloomington, Indiana for her 22nd birthday. In case you’re wondering, Taylor and I have been friends since middle school and we always try to make a point to visit each other at our schools as often as we can. Taylor and I have been through so much together and have also almost reached a 1000 day snap streak, despite both of us traveling extensively out of the country. She’s the kind of friend that will fly from Indiana to Maryland for a single weekend just to surprise you after you have major jaw surgery. And even though you can’t talk or open you mouth and you’re swollen and ugly, she comforts you and makes you a quality ‘get well soon basket’ and truly lifts your spirits. To this day, that is the most heartfelt anyone has ever done for me and I get teary-eyed every time I think about it. But back to this weekend…

This is my second time visiting her at IU (probably 5th time visiting her at a college in general #transferprobs) but every time I come to Bloomington, I fall in love with it a little more. The weather was grey, cold and rainy, but that didn’t stop me and Tay from walking around and exploring the quant little town. Despite a wild start to the trip that you can read about here, I had such an amazing time with Taylor. We celebrated her birthday by going out to dinner, making cupcakes and going to see the new Fifty Shades movie (because we are trash). She was a real trooper about No Fun Feb and totally put up with me despite being a mess with no phone. We made waffles one morning and watched the Olympics all day. I tried some of her special “Vegan Cheese” and honestly, it was pretty good! This weekend was exactly what I needed to recharge and relax and I am so happy I got to spend some quality time with my bestie. Here are some pictures I took on my camera because I didn’t have my phone.

Traveling Without a Phone: What Happened When My Phone Got Stolen In the Airport

The WILDEST thing happened to me over the weekend. Yes, I got to go to Indiana and see my best friend Taylor for her 22nd birthday, but it was definitely not an easy trek there. Long story-short; I spent 5 extra hours in the ATL airport without a phone because I missed my connecting flight to Indiana and a woman stole my phone in Baltimore. Everything ended up working out (praise GOD) but it was one of those days where anything that could have gone wrong, did. I got my phone back and still had amazing weekend with Taylor (check out this post for details and pictures from my camera) but I spent the entire weekend without a phone and had a bunch of Kim thoughts about that. So here’s the story:Read More >>

No Fun February

For more recent and updated posts on No Fun Feb, click here and here!

Hi everyone! I haven’t posted in a super long time because I was studying abroad in Scotland and Ireland. Currently I’m really sick and that has also delayed my posting of anything. And when I say sick I mean like actually skipped all my classes and work today sick. I’m praying its not the flu because I have a big weekend ahead of me.

I can’t wait to share all of my Scotland and Ireland pictures! I took over 1700 so I’m no where near done editing. My trip was ah-maz-ing. However, I went a little crazy with the drinking, junk food and spending money while abroad. Not that this is a bad thing! I am a firm believer that while you’re abroad you should fully immerse yourself in the culture, even if it hurts your wallet. Trust me…my wallet is hurting. So I devised this concept of “No Fun February” after one of my good friends did “No Fun November” a few years ago. His concept was a little different than mine, but the basic principles stand. I’m not sure if this concept already exists, but this is my personal plan.

Past Travels: Paris, Winter 2017

I leave for Scotland in two days, but I have been working on this past travel post for a few weeks and I wanted to share it before I left. Paris has got to be my absolute favorite place I have ever traveled to. The city is pure magic and I want to go back so badly. Here are a bunch of my favorite pictures I took in Paris last winter when my study abroad class went there for like 4 days. The food was amazing and the sparkling Eiffel Tower is the most mesmerizing thing I have ever seen.  This is definitely not every second of my trip, but these are the best pictures from my DSLR. I may make a travel guide later this year, but I would highly recommend going to all of the places I featured in this post.

The Last Five Years: My “One Line A Day” Book

Happy 2018 everyone! I told myself I wasn’t going to post anything involving the new year, because I have been so busy with New Years Eve and catching up with friends and I’m about to leave for Scotland. But I just realized something that I think is so cool: I just completed my five year “One Line A Day” book.
