College

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

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Final {Fall} Four

04.13.2011

Oh, hello! I hope you all are having a happy Hump Day. I’ve been enjoying a rather low key Wednesday. I didn’t have class this afternoon, so that meant after “work” (internship), I was free to roam… or crawl into bed with my textbook + Sugar Balance tea. I had planned to be sweatin’ at [...]

in with the NEW.

01.25.2011

Priorities: in their current order of importance… College. It’s the second day of the semester and I’m already on information overload. I’ve had all four of my classes as of 3:15pm today, and all I can say is that it’s going to be a busy, challenging, hopefully rewarding, adventurous, spontaneous, and a happy semester… yes, [...]

Oh, hello! Today I practiced my inner Skinny Runner… taking photos of myself that is, not the speedy running. I’m not rocking any SR tan either, but I am rockin’ my newest favorite additions to my wardrobe – my Nike Frees and Champion empire top. This [...]
