Hello Fellow Bloggers,
This is indeed my last blog and I am a little upset about it. I never really saw myself as the blogger type, but once I was given the opportunity (or in other words the mandatory assignment), I really seemed to get enjoy it. I like the idea of finally writing down all of those floating thoughts in my head. And by writing down those thoughts, I was finally able to come to conclusion with myself on those specific ideas and how, what, or when I should fulfill them. For instance, I was finally able to come to conclusion on my short-term goals, long-term goals, and my summer fun list. Ever since I wrote those bullet points, I have been so excited to fulfill and accomplish each one and see where those experiences takes me. After I gain all of those memories and adventures, I know I will become a better version of myself and that excites me more than anything. I also liked the idea of providing fun tips to share. I don't really have the most creative or helpful tricks of trade, but anything can help. I liked to read the positive feed back in the comment area and also to hear other shared ideas to improve myself. Everyday I strive to be better and so I am always eager to learn new tips and tricks on how to do so. Overall, blogging was a fun and positive experience and maybe in the near future, when I begin a whole new chapter of my life, I will pick it up again to share my adventures. But for now, I say goodbye and thank you for reading Gluten Free by Chance, Healthy by Choice.

Summer Checklist
Hello Bloggers!
With summer vastly approaching, I began developing a mental checklist of all the things I would like to do this summer. It seems like almost every year I form these mental checklist and the next thing I know, it's the end of August, summer is over, and my check list remains untouched. I decided to final transform my unsuccessful, mental checklist into a written blog, hoping I will be able to accomplish more and to share my potential summer fun. Without further or do, here is my Summer 2016 Checklist:
-Go to the Bahamas with my family at the end of May (that was already planned)
-Go to Six Flags
-Go to the beach once a month
-Go to Country Thunder at the end of July (that was also already planned)
-Attend as many Thursday night "Concerts in The Park" in Rosemont, IL.
-Have my first club experience in downtown Chicago
-Go to a Cub's game.
-Go to the Taste of Chicago
-Go to the Air and Water Show
-Potentially attend one day of Lollapalooza
Last but not least....
-Have an amazing summer with my friends and family and cherish every second of it.
I am super excited for summer being right around the corner and I can not wait to finally be home in Chicago and enjoy it. Let me know what your summer checklist is.

Staying Productive
Hello Viewers!
Do you have ever have those days where you need to get so much done in such little time and then you end up accomplishing everything and anything else besides what really needed to be completed? If you followed me on what I just stated, this happens to me a little too often. Especially with graduation vastly approaching in just four weeks, some days I will clean my room, clean the house, go grocery shopping, workout, and then boom its 10 PM and I can barely keep my eyes open. It's all about balance and determining your priorities. Unfortunately, at this specific time in my life school work seems to be the absolute last thing on my agenda everyday because I am just so darn sick of it. But as I mentioned before I have only 4 weeks left and I need to be on my A Game to finish strong. In order to keep my focused on what is important, I began making lists of what needs to be completed in order of importance. I will also write a time frame of how long I should spend on each task, so time isn't wasted. I always feel that there is never enough hours in a day, so this helps me use my day wisely and to make every hour count. Also, I only have class on Tuesday and Thursday (second semester senior perks), but I still set an alarm for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to keep myself in a routine. Without an alarm I feel unproductive because there is no urgency to get up and start my day on the right note. If you are experiencing these same symptoms, try these tips and hopefully you will see some progress.

What's On My Mind
Hello fellow bloggers,
Happy Sunday. I am going to take about something we either like or dislike, relationships. As a 21 year old, female, college student, I can speak for majority of people that everyone has a love/hate relationship with the topic. I am currently very much single and couldn't be happier. Being single I am able to strictly focus on myself, my friends, and family. Between my internship, school assignments piling up to my ears, having to devote time to work out, go to the grocery store, clean the house, and anything else that fills up my day, it can get a tad busy. Not having to worry about another individual is extremely relieving and helps me isolate my mindset to what is important to me. Though, there is a part of me that questions if that is how I actually feel about the situation or if I have convinced myself into thinking thats how I feel. It's a toss up. I would say that it is a tad ridiculous to be in a serious relationship at such a young age, but the comfort of having someone always there is something I long for. I have great friends that are always there for me when I need them, but there is something about having just that one special person to turn to and not have to feel that you are bothering or burdening them. But like I mentioned before, I am only 21 and my life is just beginning. After graduation and once I finally have money to my name, I plan on traveling and experiencing as much as I can. Once I finally see what the world has to offer, then I will be able to open my mind and heart to a relationship. For now, I am content being single but look forward to what and who my future has in store for me.
