Wholesome & Uplifting

Maybe I should add a trigger warning for the Latino community.

Not OC

I went back to school for law and have had a tough time the last year in finding any jobs in my field.

I bake sourdough bread at home and with the recent rise in its popularity, I’ve had a few small successful sales.

My husband surprised me and ordered these bags for me because he thought my orders look more “professional” upon delivery.

It really is the smallest things that end up being the biggest encouragement.

Texas Tech graduate Makaela Muse earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science with her service dog Sadie by her side every step of the way. Sadie attended classes, labs, and late-night study sessions, so when they crossed the graduation stage together, the university surprised Sadie with her own “dogploma.”

This is all my sewing projects.

So I graduated college in 2019 and thankfully didn’t have too much debt as I went to a school that’s not overly expensive and has tuition reduction for students born in the state. So I made my payments on time every month, even through Covid and the lockdowns when they were on a pause and I didn’t need to pay. I then later found out about HYSAs and would put money aside per paycheck into one until enough was in there to take a chunk out of my debt. And with my grandpa passing last month, my mother got his accounts semi in order and I have some money (not a lot to some, but a lot to me) that I used to pay off the last little bit.

So yeah. One less thing I have to take care of every month! I’m just supremely lucky to be able to live with my parents (I pay rent to them each month and wfh) and don’t really have any debt in general besides my monthly credit card statement. I just wish I could’ve paid it off while my grandpa was still around..
