Cutloose... Footloose :)

Tonight I watched the classic movie Footloose. I've always loved this movie and it's always put me in a great mood, unfortunately I can't say so for a few of my guy friends. But after I watched the movie I put on the soundtrack and the guys loved it! Footloose has a great soundtrack, which is more to say than most movies today. The songs are infectious and get you bobbing your head, moving your feet, and grooving to the beat. And while the guys loved the music (Particularly the end song) they still couldn't get up and dance. So this is my question... why is it that girls can just get up and dance, single or with each other and we aren't self conscious but guys have no want or need? And yet us girls love to have partners!! Is there a way we can fix this?? I believe there is... we need to show guys support for their dancing, even if their bad! So pick up your partner, put on some good tunes with a beat... and DANCE!!!

Update Time

So it's been about 2 months since my last blog... terrible I know! But here's the update on things... and hopefully my blogging will be more consistent!

This past semester of school flew by! I feel like this is happening more the closer I get to graduation. Which by the way, I am on perfect track to graduate next year! YAY!!!.... then a full year of unpaid internship (boo) but invaluable experience and Master's classes at an Undergrad rate ( YAY!!!). I think that part of the reason this last semester flew is that I took a few classes that I absolutely loved. One of them was Teaching and Technology. It was such an amazing class, not only did I learn a ton, but I also discovered different ways to find out about future technology... plus I met a really cute boy so that's always a plus ;)

I have officially been at my work for 2 years now! It doesn't seem like its been that long. My bosses said I'm doing great which is always nice to hear. While I love the company I work for, my job isn't the greatest for my schedule in the fall... we shall see what happens!

One of the greatest things that is happening very soon is one of my best friends, Kelsey, is coming home from Florida!! We were roommates in the fall, but then she got accepted into the Disney internship program and was there for the last 5 months!! I've missed her incredibly and her and my other roommate, Amy, and I make 3's company... It'll be so good to have her back!!!

So that's pretty much the dl (down low) for now... I hope everyone has had a fantastic Memorial Day Weekend :)

Biggest Loser Update

Whoo Hoo Whoo HOO I'm down 12 pounds in a month!!! The competition at my apartment complex ended and I won it!! I received this great yoga mat, Jillian Michaels and Juliane Hough work out dvd's, a $25 giftcard to meijers and a BPA free water bottle!!! I'm definitely motivated to keep losing... my motivation is my brother's wedding in October :D. If you have any advice or success stories let me know!!

Biggest Loser Time

So, My apartment complex has just started a biggest loser competition. I signed up. I'm incredibly scared. I've always been overweight, well not always but for over half my life. It's attributed to genetics, a metabolism disorder, and plain gluttony and laziness. I've always wanted to lose weight but never had the ambition/will power to. I'm hoping that this will kick my butt! I have to weigh in every friday so I'll try to keep my progress posted! So does anyone have any advice? I don't have a trainer and plan on running. I want to do the chicago half marathon with my family in August! So wish me luck!!

The perfect moment in time

Ever since I was little I have believed that there are perfect moments in time. I'm not sure if its growing up on Disney fairytales, or always seeing romantic comedies but these moments in time are very special when they happen. I've had a few of these moments, my first kiss, getting accepted to Michigan State, graduation. As I've gotten older and begin to feel more comfortable in my own skin these perfect moments aren't so cliche. For instance, right now I'm in sweatpants, sitting on my roommates bed, eating dinner and watching the bachelor. This is a perfect moment for me. I'm happy, I'm myself, I'm in great company. I feel like so many of these moments get passed away when we're young because we're so focused on having the perfect fairytale story, when in reality it doesn't exist. Live for the moment, live in the moment, and enjoy every single aspect about your life.

First Few Days of School

So this is the first week back school. It's been surreal because i only have 2 semesters left after this! I'm excited for this semester because it is a little bit of a lighter load but still have some good credits. This is my schedule:

Mondays: work 7:30-3:30 then class
Tuesday: Class from 9am-7pm
Wednesday: Work
Thursday: class from 12-2
Friday: Work

So while I have something everyday it is a little lighter and not as stressful.

Sorry I don't have much to write tonight... My most favorite people in the world are over and we're having a girls night :)

First Blog!!

So this is my first blog. I'm writing this because I've figured out that everyone's life is different but it helps to read what others are going through. This is for any girl who is in college or in their 18-26 age range (or older or younger if it applies) who might be going through the same things I am. I'll blog about family, school, health, friends, everything in life. I'm not witty or cunning but I'll be honest and tell it how it is.
