Summer is a month and a half away.

Aghh! After posting about how much I want spring to come, I realized that summer starts May 5th. Crazy. I don't have enough time to get the things I need to get done!

1. Lose weight- If I'm guarding/managing my water park this summer, I NEED to get back in shape. These Christmas lbs are not cute. I've been working out daily for the past two days (not much I know) but I really need to get this ball rolling. When I get back to school it's going to be studying, working out, and eating right. No vegging out in front of the tv for hours on end. It's not going to cut it anymore!
2. Get an internship- I've talked to my dad about this, he's talked to the PR firm that his company hired. Apparently they have a partner in D.C. that might have something for me.. we'll see about this, I'm not getting my hopes up though. I also plan on talking to my advisor who's a professional journalist, the career center, etc. Any PR ladies out there with some tips? Any PR/event planners out there looking for a summer intern??
3. Get better grades- Once again, I've started slacking. It was more going through the motions waiting for the next break. Now that it's almost over, I've hopefully caught a second wind and can get those grades up.

....this post really resembles my New Year's Resolutions post... sighhh....

I've been doing really well with Lent. I've given up Colas which has in turn meant giving up caffiene- it's been REALLY hard, especially during exam weeks when I get little to no sleep but totally worth it. I feel much better, let alone I'm much more conscious of what I'm drinking. Reese's peanut butter cups and Peanut M&Ms are also on the give-up list. I haven't been as tempted to eat them but I know when Easter comes around those Reeses peanut butter eggs have my NAME on it.

Anywayyy I better get to bed.. Preppyboyfriend is off of work tomorrow and taking care of his little sister (she's 12) who got her wisdom teeth pulled today. She's already eating pancakes and wants doughnuts tomorrow! (CHAMP) Maybe I'll take his family's pug for a nice walk, it's supposed to be 62 degrees here. Should be good walking weather for the pooch, any hotter and he likes to quit. Straight up sit on the sidewalk and give up. You'd have to pick him up or call the house for someone to drive over to pick you up! Silly puggy.. My family doesn't have a dog so he's the closest I have! How could you not looooove that faceee!!

Happy Friday bloggy friends! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and hope to hear from you all soon! Take care!

Onward and Upward!


So one of my resolutions was to be healthier and get in shape. I'm taking baby steps but I'm certainly proud of the changes I'm making. Everyday for lunch, I've had one of these StarKist Lunch To-Go things! The past couple days, I've also had a cup of raw veggies (celery, brocoli, and carrots) with ranch dressing that my school sells. To hit my sugar cravings, I treat myself to a couple "fun size"reese peanut butter cups that were in my stocking at Christmas. My other spoiler is a 20 oz bottle of Pepsi that I drink as I'm at my desk for the afternoon. Hopefully I'll phase the soda out soon but I'm making progress! I no longer have it at dinner, instead I've replaced it with a 32 oz cup of ice water. Wahoo!

Before this semester, I had a slice of white pizza everyday for lunch. It was really good but so greasy and I definitely could feel the pounds piling on. There aren't many "healthy" things to eat here so I've picked something packaged with Nutrition Facts on the back. Next year will be much better, I'll have an apartment, be off this crappy meal plan here, and making my own food!

Any college girls out there? How do you eat healthy on a tight budget and possibly without a kitchen?

As for working out, I plan on going to the gym and taking fitness classes. Kickboxing Wednesdays, Yoga Fridays, and a couple of Muscle toning classes on Mondays that I decide not to go to work! Classes start next week so for now, I'll be heading to the cardio room with PreppyFriend, she was my roommate last year but is an RA this year so we both have single rooms!

Fingers crossed everything goes as planned! How are your resolutions coming?
