My break was much needed. I had a very good break and really enjoyed my Christmas. I was really surprised with the things that I got. I honestly think that I got too much, but I am very appreciative.

One thing that I am a little concerned about is, why didn’t we get any snow? It felt almost like spring for Christmas. I heard that we will get hit with a huge blizzard like last year, and I am not looking forward to that at all. I hated all that snow; I hate snow, period. I do like the idea of getting a break off from school though. Robert Morris never closes and if it does because of the snow that will be news to me.

Overall I really enjoyed break and the time off. I’ve been going to school with no breaks since Sept 2010, so I’ll take any type of break that I can get. To be honest I didn’t do any type of work, I just needed to relax. I think I relaxed too much though because I can back to school and forgot my locker combination, I forgot everything.

To be honest I can’t wait until our next break. More free time for me, which I need. I’m sure I’m not the only college student who feels this way.

Valentine's Day

More...

Valentine’s Day is almost here and all I can see is people freaking out. Valentine’s Day is a day for the ladies and Sweetest Day is for the guys. So now ladies are trying to find a man so they could get stuff and be spoiled for a day. To be honest I don’t see what the big deal is. This is my bf and I third Valentine’s Day together and we never seem to make a big deal about it.

I think V-day is about love and spending time with that special someone. Or taking you out and appreciating yourself for once. I just couldn’t be one of those people who stress themselves out over one day, or people who just find a guy just for this day. That’s just too much work for me and it’s really not a big deal. When you find that special someone, every day that you are together should be Valentine’s Day.

That’s exactly how I feel with my boyfriend so don’t think I’m just making this up. I have nothing against the people who just look for that one guy, for that one day but maybe you’ll find that one guy for a lifetime. Who knows, V-day could be a lucky day for you, a day that you will never forget. I say let it be a fun day. V-day should never be a serious day.

I wish everybody a happy Valentine’s Day and to have fun. Don’t stress, remember it could be your lucky day.

Accomplished

I couldn’t think of a better title because accomplished is how I feel. I will be graduating next Tues. with my Associates in Fitness and Nutrition. I am very proud of myself and I have come a long way since High school. I never thought I would make it this far to be honest. I am going to prove myself wrong and go farther.

I can’t wait until I finish school, I can’t wait to go on in life and work in a career that I love. I have so many plans for myself and so many ideas of what to do next. My mom wants me to do better than she has and I am going to make her proud. My mom is my motivation to keep pushing every day. Don’t get me wrong college is hard!

It’s not really hard in a sense of classes but time wise. You really don’t get that much time in college. Most people don’t get to see their families because there is not enough time. College goes by extremely quick and RMU is an accelerated school as well. You just have to stay focused, and sometimes that’s not always the easiest thing to do.

But I’m trying everyday even though I do make some mistakes. Even though I have made those silly mistakes, I learned from them and look where they have led me. I am so proud of myself and can’t wait for graduation. I’m excited for the day that I get my BA and then go on further than that.
