This past year was the LONGEST and hardest year of my life. So many challenges physically and mentally, and there were plenty of days I really struggled to make it through. Despite the craziness that 2020 brought, my 27th year was filled with so many amazing memories and new beginnings that I never anticipated. I compiled a list of 27 things I learned in my 27th year, and I definitely will be doing this again for years to come. Cheers to year 28!
