Not really aesthetic, but it sure is realistic.

I honestly adore this part of the semester. The calm right before the storm that is finals week. I have about 4 weeks until this semester is over and I'm sad but also excited for this summer. I haven't secured an internship for my fellowship yet, but I have a feeling something good is about to happen!

I have two (maybe three) research conferences coming up, an internship to secure, 3 final papers to write, and LSAT studying to do but I'm thriving!
