Today’s #reflection is about the time I went to #edsheeran #edseeranconcert it was a lot of fun. Simple but loud. I wish I can go to a concert once a month as a stress reliever or just tradition. #decemberphotochallenge #yearsreflection #momentsofmine #last31daysof2018 #lastdaysof2018 #6daystillchristmas #concert #2018 #uglyphotosofme #uglyphotos (at CenturyLink Field) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrklwqMAaCS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gofhito9bydw

#decemberphotochallenge #yearsreflection #momentsofmine #last31daysof2018 #lastdaysof2018 #reflection #7daystillchristmas I remember #bouldering to be really fun and a major workout. I’m getting closer to recent months https://www.instagram.com/p/Brhbn8tguaI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18kx5bm94kh1q

#laketwentytwo Today’s #reflection is in #remembrance of my first best friend of high school. Thanks girl for keeping in touch. And also special shout out to Rylee, for letting me braid your hair and being my friend at a very new environment. And then my first #hiking trip in a long time. I really missed hiking. To all the new friends, new experiences, old but present friends and old but favorite experiences #cheers 🥂 #last31daysof2018 #decemberphotochallenge #yearsreflection #momentsofmine #lastdaysof2018 #8daystillchristmas (at Redmond, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrfAv2Bg6o0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f1zi9dwlz4np

Hey my name is Gbemi and I like penguins. Today’s #reflection is on my love for #penguins. I went there not long after I moved here and I remember it all#momentsofmine #last31daysof2018 #decemberphotochallenge #yearsreflection #9daystillchristmas #lastdaysof2018 #woodlandparkzoo (at Woodland Park Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrcWHxkg4-p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fy8onzoly3ae

A lot of things happened this year, still is. I graduated, I dated, I relocated, I got a job, I was unemployed, I applied to grad school, I started attending a new job. It’s a lot but I’m here with gratitude that God has been with me through it all. The truth is he watches and pushes me in the safest direction. I’m hoping to go to UW, and maybe wear the same grad gown as my 2 professors and maybe cry tears of relief after studying for 5 years. I wish I was certain of these things but I sure am glad that I’m certain of my faith. #last31daysof2018 #decemberphotochallenge #yearsreflection #momentsofmine #lastdaysof2018 #10daystillchristmas (at University of Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrZx2vngFll/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dx92ae2v8zbs

And in May I officially graduated BA in Linguistics. My mum came for my graduation and these are some pictures i took on that day. My uncle has the rest but we haven’t talked since and so I don’t have those pictures. #decemberphotochallenge #yearsreflection #momentsofmine #11daystillchristmas #last31daysof2018 #lastdaysof2018 #graduation #linguisticgraduate #linggrad (at University of Maryland, College Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrXMT3ogX06/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nm4aw5hp0aoz

Today’s #reflection goes to this scary but caring unni , I always wondered what scared her but never found it. Unni I’ll see you in 2 weeks. ❤️ The other #momentsofmine for #endoftheyearreview is my cooking. I love cooking a lot. And this year I did a lot of it. And the last post for #reflection is #linguistics my #finalpaper for #linguisticsresearch it kicked my butt a bit. I’m still gonna keep doing it. #decemberphotochallenge #yearsreflection #last31days #lastdaysof2018 #12daystillchristmas https://www.instagram.com/p/BrUe6tlgh_I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a7qu16u6xfx2

I’m only just in April, and it’s only #13daystillchristmas this was my birthday where Ruoyu threw me a party at the Bowling Ring and my adorable friends showed up and made me so happy. It was a stressful day but everyone was so patient with me till the end. I love you guys. And that’s Ruoyu eating Nigerian food for the first time with his life Chris again in my reflection, waiting for me patiently at Starbucks. Lesson, to be my friend you need patience. All my friends have that #blessed. I’m sorry guys for always making you wait. #decemberphotochallenge #yearsreflection #momentsofmine #last31days #lastdaysof2018 (at Amf Bowling College Park Md) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrR7TQ_g6Zq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6cvc4y16kl2p

Still at the zoo where I learned much about anthropology than I thought I was ever going to in a zoo. And the other is the first wedding I went with Ruoyu (David’s beautiful family invited us) where he devoured the Nigerian food served. It was a good month! #decemberphotochallenge #yearsreflection #momentsofmine #smithsonianzoo #17daystillchristmas (at Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrL0UfLAanJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jexz9jjpnzk

Still on Miami. I have some really good pictures but for some reason I can’t bring myself to post them. I haven’t gone rogue lol. And here’s when I made fried rice on a fried pan (first time i think) and my first visit to a zoo. #momentsofmine #decemberphotochallenge #yearsreflection #19daystillchristmas #selfreflection #miamibeach #smithsonianzoo https://www.instagram.com/p/BrKS8BUg-VK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wmqxliss6s8d

Extra pic. Someone said I look like my mum. So here’s a picture of my mum and I, swipe, and you get to judge. Judge the resemblance only. Save the other comments to yourself. Thank you very much. I miss you mum and I love you. (at Redmond, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrHvv_zAhiB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j8sjovtq73nd

Before I forget todays post. Here’s the 2nd trip I took this year after Texas, a trip to Florida. Like I said I spent more than I budgeted but thank God for my family who came through with the money donations. #2018 has been good #2019 you ready? What’s good? #momentsofmine #decemberphotochallenge #yearsreflection #18daystillchristmas #selfreflection in 2019, I wanna take a trip with @the_girl_named_joe to Japan, I’m really thinking about it let mw know if you’re up for it. And @derah_forevah let’s just travel somewhere again. #disneyworld #disneyflorida #florida #disney (at Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrHuvRvgfgO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wakra82ijggb

Already in March, that’s how fast this year went by. I can’t really remember all the things that happened this year. I remember all my trips away though. This was on the way to a planned trip to Miami with @derah_forevah We planned this trip for a while on a tight budget but yet spent like double or more on this trip. More photos to come about the trip. #yearsreflection #selfreflection #reflection #decemberphotochallenge #19daystillchristmas #2018 #momentsofmine The last picture is the food I ate in March which I really craze right now. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrEUv8Pgbmm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sx9umq6z5435

#yearsreflection #selfreflection #reflection #decemberphotochallenge #20daystillchristmas the location at the beginning of the year was college park very different from my current location. Fact is I had no idea where I was going to be from the beginning but I’m quite satisfied with where i am now. I miss college from time to time, like my friends there, my challenges and all that but I’m grateful it passed. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrB4cqHAgRk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wr7tkbl7lfj3
