Honorable Mentions: August 2024

August 31, 2024

Aside from the weather, which remains persistently hot, August stands out to me as a transitional month. In the past four weeks I completed an internship, traveled to Colorado with 33 of my best friends, and had my last first day of school ever. As a result, this month’s mentions are haphazard, yet thoughtful. From my well-worn cowboy boots to a fresh haircut, you will find that I equally enjoyed the tried-and-true while also taking the leap to try something new.
