Back to the Books

With the start of a new school year approaching, I thought I should make it part of my routine to blog more often! So here we go:

A quick update on what I've been up to since giving up my title of Miss Teen Minnesota United States: I completed my first year at UW-Madison and moved home, in Minnesota, for the summer to work as a waitress at Jake O'Connors in Excelsior. I also had the amazing opportunity to work for the Miss United States Organization as the Director of Contestant Relations and Assistant to the National Director. In addition, I took three classes online over the course of the summer. It was quite busy, but I enjoy having a full schedule.

Back to the present, I just moved back to Madison yesterday to start my Sophomore year of college! I am excited to be living with three awesome roommates in a cute apartment on Lake Mendota. We are still getting everything settled in, but I will be sure to upload some photos of our new place. I am looking forward to an awesome school year continuing my undergraduate degrees in International Studies and Spanish. Because I am only taking three years of undergrad, my schedule is full once again. I am also returning as the Volunteer Chair of the Spanish Club on campus and taking on a new role as the Social Chair of the Wisconsin International Studies Major Association. Just earlier today, I finished submitting my application to study abroad for the spring semester. I am hoping to study abroad from January through May in Seville, Spain. Classes do not start until September 3rd, but things are already in full swing as I prepare for the fall semester.

I am hoping to find a little time to blog at least once or twice a month. I have found blogging is a great way to relax and reflect on all the blessings I have been given in my life.

Best,
Victoria
