POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Okay…this is going to be a long caption 🤍

Today I officially finished my Master’s degree, which means I now have 3 degrees 🎓 What feels even crazier is realizing this chapter of my life is finally coming to an end. These past few years have been full of so many highs and lows, long nights, stress, happy tears, doubts, growth, and moments I’ll never forget.

There is absolutely no way I could have done any of this alone.

First, my husband Austin, thank you for being there for me every single day through it all. You’ve heard every rant, every stress cry, every exciting moment, and every little win. Thank you for always supporting me and believing in me even on the days I didn’t believe in myself.

To my parents, thank you for being my biggest cheerleaders through every school, every degree, every commute, and every vent session. You have always been there for me no matter what, and I will never be able to fully explain how much that means to me.

And my sister, thank you for being the kind of sister I can call about absolutely anything at any time. You’ve talked me through stressful days, listened to me overthink everything, made me laugh when I needed it most, and always reminded me I could get through this. I’m so lucky to have you.

To my friends and family thank you for supporting me, checking in on me, and keeping me positive throughout all of this. And to my classmates, we have truly been on a wild ride together, and I’m so grateful Seton Hill University brought us together 🤍

This journey taught me so much, but one of the biggest lessons was learning how important it is to lean on the people around you. I could not have made it through these years without all of you.

Most importantly, I want to thank God for never leaving my side. There were so many drives to class filled with prayers, worship music, stress, hope, and conversations with Him. Looking back now, I can see how every little moment carried me through.

So thankful. So emotional. So proud.

Since 20 photos is the max, here are just some of the memories from this year, with many, many more left unshared.

2025 taught me so much about myself and the world around me. I graduated with another undergraduate degree in nutrition, celebrated our one-year wedding anniversary, and became an aunt!! 🥹

I also read 18 books this year!! Which feels wild considering younger me did everything possible to avoid reading.

2025 wasn’t easy. Anxiety challenged me, but it also led to growth, resilience, and self-reflection I truly needed.

None of this would have been possible without the love and support of my family and friends, especially my family members who willingly became my “fake patients” for food logs, diet histories, and recorded assignments. I could not have made it this far in school without you!! 🤍

Through it all God carried me, reminded me to trust His timing, and showed me that He always has a plan!!

Thank you 2025 for a year of growth!! I’m stepping into 2026 with faith, gratitude, and excitement for what’s ahead!! 🤍 by @candice_awes

Finally took some pictures with my second undergraduate degree in Nutritional Science. It’s been a long journey with many ups and downs, but I wouldn’t have made it this far without the amazing people in my life!! I have one more year until I graduate with my master’s and then I’m done with school 😅
I just wanted to thank you all for walking beside me every step of the way. The finish line is in sight!! ❤️ by @candice_awes
