I realized the other day that this quite possibly could be my last school break ever. After May 20th, Winter Break, Spring Break, and Summer will not exist in my life. The real world will run on non-stop… or so I here.
With this realization, I’m soaking up my final days of my lonnggg break; in other words, double WREC days, chick flicks in bed, deep cleaning/reorganizing, pampering my training toes with a pedicure, etc.
Here are a few favorites from the past five weeks, in no particular order.
country music.
…specifically Sugarland, Lady Antebellum + Rascal Flatts.
the daily sprinkle.
Every morning I read The Daily Sprinkle via the sparkling and spunky, Syracuse-lovin’ Miss Katelyn. It’s like Positive Monday every day.
iced coffeeee.
Every morning, my dad would make an extra cup of fresh, drip coffee for me and stick in the fridge to chill so I could have iced coffee with my oats – thanks, Dad! #spoiled
the ocean.
If the Pacific Coast isn’t a place of peace, I don’t know where is.
training like a fool.
…with new gear courtesy of Santa Clause.
gluten-free breakfasts after long training runs.
reading this book.
Hope y’all are enjoying your wintery weekend.
Stay warm!

I can relate to this on so many levels. I adore the Pacific – it truly is the place to be. And your waffles look scrumptious! Which recipe do you use?
For those waffles, I used a store-bought gluten-free mix. Shhh, it’s our little secret ;) For the pancakes, I used oat flour in my favorite Puffy PB Banana Pancake recipe.
Genius, thank you!
… just out of college, your cousin lamented when talking about his new job: “We don’t get spring break”.
Great list of faves! Lady Antebellum and Sugarland are my two fave country groups :D
Ah crazy, hope you’ve had a nice break! I’ve been back for 2 weeks, so winter break seems like agggesss ago!
have a great weekend! :D
Wheeee! Thank you for the shout-out my dear :) I’ll sprinkle on.
Isn’t it scary to think this is the last ‘break’? I know summer will still be enjoyable since I’ll be lifeguarding at my old pool one last semester, but then I have NO idea what I’ll be doing. I want to press pause!
I definitely agree that life should have a “pause” (and “rewind”) button. Good luck!
Just doing a little random link surfing and found your blog! I am a postgraduate Nutrition and Psychology student, on my summer break, so we have something in common ;) I am luxuriating in having a clean house. Really hoping to keep it at least a little de-cluttered once the craziness of study starts again. I love your pink laces. Doesn’t pink workout gear just make you work harder? I think so… xx
While it does take some time to get used to the real world that doesn’t include month long vacations, I promise you will adjust and you will enjoy the freedom you work into your own schedule. I agree, some of my favorite things are as simple as getting new underwear ;) And I do love new exercise gear, it motivates me to work out.
