Changes
“Wake up in the morning and I ask myself
is my tumblr still awesome, or should it blast itself?”
Okay, so maybe Tupac wasn’t thinking of my blog when he wrote his incredible hit Changes. But there are some big changes in store. For those of you who don’t know, the last few weeks have been completely crazy. I spent a month in hibernation studying for my final exams...
