A Month in Review: Summer 2014 Edition

Oh man, guys. I'm still out of the whole blogging thing, but hopefully, now that school is starting, I'll be getting back into the flow. Doesn't necessarily correlate, but let's see! Anyway, I'm super sorry for not actually being around all to much this summer. I'm a senior in HS now, so it's a pretty crazy time, and I've been super busy. But alas, I apologize!

Since I missed July's Month in Review, I'm just making a big summer edition, given there's not much anyway (*cringe*)
