I Passed the Semester!

Today in the life,
I finished the fall semester of senior year last week and today found out that I had passed all my classes! YAY me! I am very proud to say that the spring 2015 semester will be my last before graduation. Now of course it feels like time has swooped on by but time is relative. It will have taken me 6 years to graduate but at least I will be able to sat I did it, I graduated from one of the most respected engineering schools in the country. That fuels me to keep going. About 5 more months to go! Eeeek.

**My advice for those of you going through college is to surround yourself with as many driven and positive people you can. They will not only keep you company but will support you and push you to be better. They will also make for some amazing connections once you are in the workforce. So keep that in mind.**

Anyways, to be honest this "break" is driving me nuts and it has only been a week. I am the type of person who strives on stress and constantly doing something, "anything" lol. Maybe I will get back to the gym and working out again.... we shall see. Until next time.

One Day At a Time

Today in the life,
I have been playing catch up. Sometimes life throws a million and one things at you and you feel helpless. Well this was me all week, but then I remembered I was strong, that I have picked myself up numerous times before and conquered many things because of it...so I've been trying to pull it together.

I do though, have to give a shout out to my friends, because without them I wouldn't have been able to get everything done alone. So word of advice, if you have bitch face like I do and have a shy personality like me, good luck! I couldn't have made it through college without opening up and talking to people, so I suggest for you to try to open up, smile, join clubs and get to know people. The connections you make in college will most likely be there for you always whether you are in the same state or not. So get out there!

 

Anyways, I have a transport phenomenon exam tonight! Wish me luck. Senior year is almost halfway through and I couldn't be more excited...this is what I will use as my motivation to keep pushing forward!

Have a fantastic day :)

Cupcake candle

Today in the life,
I have so much homework due this week and I thought I would share my study habits that I normally practice in order to get through it all in one peace!

Shown below is my new cupcake candle. I won it in a raffle at a long time friend's baby shower. It is the cutest thing and it smells like milk chocolate :) so delicious! My room smells amazing lol.

So this is the first thing I do when I have my room to myself (my fiancé and son are out getting haircuts) is to light a good smelling candle so that I can calm down, breathe in the good and breathe out the bad.

Next up, I turn on the radio. Ugh watching television and doing homework does not work well for me, but put on some slow R&B and I'm in good shape to get some major work done.

But first, I spend 5 to 10 minutes on social media... ugh I know that darn internet, but it gets my internet fix done with, and I can finally focus on my work :) 

When others are around, I put in earphones to keep from getting distracted or I simply find a quiet place. In my house though there are very seldom places to have a quiet room to yourself lol so I sometimes have to leave and study at school. 

Well hope this helps ya out!
