Lately, I've been stressed out with trying to balance 6 classes (18 credits), church activities, and 3 jobs. So I decided that to do something that would help me to relax and loosen up so that I have the motivation to finish the rest of the semester strong. What better way to do that by reliving your childhood memories? Or bringing out the inner child in you? For me, on Monday, it was pumpkin carving! On campus, they were having a pumpkin fest and giving out free pumpkins to carve along with some treats such as pumpkin rolls and apple cider (they were to die for by the way). I love getting my hands dirty by scooping out the squishy, stringy, orange gunk inside of the pumpkin. Then I carved...a lot. It took me about 1.5 hours to get this pumpkin done. My favorite part of pumpkin carving is waiting until it's dark outside and then putting a lighted candle inside...then the inner beauty shone through my creation! I love it!
