may 18th, 2019: first day after final exams!

this was taken when I was revising for History Paper 2 on Labour Day ☁️

the past two weeks were not as stressful as I expected, actually quite the contrary. it feels very very good, having finished this whole IB journey 😄

hi yall! welcome to my first original post in a long, long time 🌿 also, welcome to a new year and a new semester! as I enter my senior year of college, my life is becoming exponentially more hectic, meaning that this planner will be my best friend now more than ever 📖 I’d like to do a little life update since it’s been so long, so here we go:

• My name is Shelby, I’m 21, and I’m a senior studying agricultural science with minors in horticulture and crop science

• I work as an usher at my university’s theatre and also as a research assistant in a sweet potato breeding and genetics lab

• This semester, I’ll be taking professional presentations in agriculture, organizational leadership in agriculture, integrated pest management, advanced agroecology, and current social problems

• As part of my department’s leadership and justice scholars program, I’m working on writing legislation and planning public education events to promote and protect H-2A visa workers here in my home state

• I’m planning on graduating in December 2020 and will be applying to grad school in fall 2021, either in my current university’s crop science department or horticulture department

• My new year’s resolutions include eating healthier, incorporating structured exercise into my schedule, and making time to read more!

How do you make your iced coffee if you don’t mind sharing? I’ve never been able to make it at home without it tasting awful. 😆

Of course not! Although I am not sure if it’d be helpful much as there’s no recipe but just my intuition for mixing ingredients. (I have worked for several coffee shops so I guess I could say that I got experienced some in making coffee)  

I think the secret for iced coffee is the proportion of coffee, milk(or creamer of your choice) and ice! Thesedays I use macademia/oat milk (though my favourite is almond I’m trying to use it less). The mistake I often made was putting too much milk or ice. Pouring milk/creamer until you think it’s a bit darker than you would normally like then mix with ice (I use no more than about 6-8 cubes of ice depending on the size of both cubes and the drink). So that even after the ice cubes are melted it wouldn’t taste too bland. 

and @gooddarkhuntress asked me about how I make iced mint mocha🌿 so I took some pictures while I was making the second cup of coffee today!

I put 1 tea spoon of macro cacao & mint lattee mix and 1 or 1 and half (depending on the amount of coffee you put) tea spoon of brown sugar into hot espresso and mix them until they are well dilluted. 

Then I put milk out of the fridge and poured until my coffee looks about this colour. (I used only single shot this time as I drank my first cup of coffee today already) And I put some ice cubes and stirred it until the drink got cold. That’s it! enjoy it while scrolling down Tumblr (or study!) ;)
