College

The life of a Nutrition student with a full {and healthy} academic plate.

Fit University, Fit YOU.

02.03.2012

It’s a quiet Friday night in for me tonight. I went to a different yoga class tonight — the dance-y warm-up I enjoyed, the random jumping jacks not so much. I pedaled on the spin bike for 10 minutes prior to hitting the mat, but that was it in terms of my Friday fitness. I [...]

Semester #10

01.23.2012

Today was my last first day of school… I think… for now… until I realize a B.S. is just that — B.S. I was awake anxiously again before my alarm this morning. This time it wasn’t in anticipation of a long training run in the rain. I supported the first day jitters with extra-strong iced [...]

live it.

01.23.2012

Today is the first day of my last semester of college. More times than not, I’ve wanted the semester to speed by, unenthusiastically “living” from one exam to the next. May is going to come all too quickly this year. I don’t want to look back at the end of this memorable adventure and regret [...]

winter break favorites.

01.21.2012

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; [...]

Friday, Fall, Footloose & the future.

Hello friends! Hope you’ve had a lovely Friday. Are you enjoying some beautiful October weather, too? Hard to believe I rolled through the 8th week of the semester and October is nearly half over… crazy? I think so. I wish autumn would slowww down. Things I’m looking forward to in the upcoming fall days… A [...]

my college lunchbox.

09.27.2011

I got a request on Twitter to post about my top healthy school lunches. Lunch is probably the least mentioned meal on the blog – not because I don’t eat lunch – but because it doesn’t strike my fancy as do breakfast and baked goods ;) As a busy college student, it would be easy [...]

Today

08.24.2011

I woke up within the 6 o’clock hour, though I didn’t have class until 11:00am. Therefore, I drank iced coffee while doing my morning blog reading and finished an assignment for said magazine writing class. I went to Trader Joe’s and stocked up on the essentials like Snapea Crisps, Cherry Cashew Pure Bars, and laundry [...]

the first of the last.

08.22.2011

Today was the first day of my last fall semester of college… undergrad, that is. Back in April, I posted about the courses I’ll be taking this semester [The Final Fall Four], but since then I swapped out a class, so now I’m taking Nutrition Counseling instead of Nutrition and Physical Fitness (which I’m looking [...]

my college kitchen.

Hey there! Hope your Thursday isn’t half bad… make that good, more like it :) I’m exhausted and am just wanting it to be Saturday (Race Day!) already. Anyway… the show must go on until then. I was in dire need of groceries, so after a few hours of a.m. work, I hit up TJ’s [...]

just DO it.

06.12.2011

Last week, I made the decision to act on something that I’ve had on my mind for quite some time. After several unsure phone calls to mom, she told me to “just do it!”. Instead of “beating the batter” any longer, I dialed the 800 number, asked a couple dozen questions, and finally [...]
