The Eve of a New Year

Well, it looks like we made it y'all. It is the final day of the year! 

Before I turn to reflecting on the year gone by, and the year to come, I firstly wanted to say a big thank-you to everyone who has supported The Aussie Prep over the past (almost) 12 months. Being able to share aspects of my life with you all has definitely been one of my highlights for 2016. As we approach The Aussie Prep's First birthday in roughly two weeks, I am extremely excited to continue building this little blog of mine, and see where it takes us.

The Thank You Note

Happy Christmas (and Hanukah) Eve Eve y'all! As Christmas is literally right around the corner, I thought that I will share with you a post I have been thinking about for a while: the art of the Thank You Note. The holidays are the time to show your friends and family how much you love and appreciate them. While this can be shown through the act of giving a gift, on the other hand, another way to show your appreciation and respect is through the thank you card/note. While my mum does not send thank you notes herself, growing up she always taught me to thank others for their kindness and generosity. This has stuck with me as I've gotten older.

Graduated in Lilly

If you thought that December could get any more exciting, what with turning 21 and it being Christmas, we all thought wrong. To add to the excitement of this month, last Thursday I graduated from the University of Melbourne! The past three years have been such a journey, I can't believe it is all over. If you wanted to hear my thoughts on finishing my degree, you can read my blog post reflecting on my Uni experience here. What I am excited to share with you all today is the outfit I wore to my graduation ceremony!

Twenty One

If you haven't been following along on social media (which you can follow here, here, and here), this past weekend, Claire and I celebrated our 21st birthday! Our birthday party was on Saturday night, and our actual birthday was Monday. So many of our friends and family came to celebrate with us and wished us love, which we were truly humbled about. We couldn't of asked for anything more!
