In the 4 years I attended my university, I never once visited this placed called the Botanical Gardens…and I’m mad I never did! This place is absolutely beautiful!

My undergrad is known for citrus and plants so the garden is FILLED with so many different plants and flowers. I spent the day with one of my sorority sisters. We had a little picnic and just caught up on life.

Definitely felt extremely nostalgic being back on my old stomping ground…literally Lol

Quick sidenote (kind of a long read): There are days when I get down on myself because I feel like, mannnn, I’m not liking my progress at the moment. We’ve all been there, where we feel like we should be doing better than we are. My thoughts when you start to feel that way, go ahead and feel that way! But, only for a few hours…and then you get yourself back up and say, I am exactly where I need to be at this moment. If you were meant to be somewhere else, more recognized at the moment, more “popular” or whatever, then it would’ve happened at that moment. But I have learned, and I’m still learning, to appreciate the now. APPRECIATE. THE. NOW.
