A Day in the Life

When I decided to go back to school for the first time in more than a decade, I knew it would be a challenge, but I didn’t fully realize how much it would shift my day-to-day life. Between working full time, raising two kids, helping my husband run his business, and trying to still be a whole person in the middle of it all… some days feel like a total blur. This Reel is a little glimpse into the chaos, joy, exhaustion, and growth I’ve experienced in this season of my life. It’s not perfectly curated (because life isn’t). But it’s real, and it’s mine. If you’re in a chapter of life where everything feels like a lot, I hope this reminds you that you’re not alone. We’re all doing the best we can with what we’ve got.

Hiya! I’m Emilee Crites, and I’m a freshman student at Ventura College, studying Marketing & Social Media. I am what the kids call “chronically online”, so it makes sense for me to pursue an education in social media. I love to read (shout out to Emily Henry, Abby Jimenez, Stephenie Meyer, and John Green for getting me to this point!), musical theatre, listen to music, and rewatch my favorite TV shows. You can find me in locally-owned bookstores, at the coffee shop, or at my favorite artists’ concerts and shows. I can’t wait to bring you all kinds of content throughout my time at Ventura College!
