After the constant business of school that I finished up in May, and the exhaustive amount of traveling that I endured in June, July was a welcome, refreshing month to truly relax, catch up, and enjoy my summer vacation. And to get some blogging in, as well. But now, it’s the first day of August, which not only means that I have only seventeen more days before I head back to school, but also means that it’s time for another Best Of post to look back at the last month.

Personal Life
I’ll be making a post about what I’ve been doing over my summer break right before school starts, so I’m skipping this section this month.
