Come to the Morrow Plot with me 🌽🧡💙

Also PSA plz do not park the VEO Scotters in the way of the sidewalk. I was lucky I could get through. People in wheelchairs cannot just step over or around them like everyone else ♿️ 🛴

If you do the work, you will get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life -MJ

In other words, while you still taking the easy route in life, you won’t see the rewards you earned since you did not do anything hard to receive you what you didn’t work hard for.

Keep grinding.
Keep working.
Keep striving.

Peace and love. Just finished my second 10k. Out did my last race which I’m very proud of. #btnbig10k

Just a sneak peek into the fun we had at the Political Science and International Interdisciplinary Studies Convocation!
The biggest thank you to everyone who made that day possible, we could not have done it without you (seriously).
Have a great summer!

my worst kept secret!!

I had an amazing experience being a part of the Kings Guard as VP and a performer! My patience and resilience were both tested especially with chief supporters but I regret NOTHING!! Shout out to the biggest bird💙🧡
