Spring Break 2011... Great Success

This spring break was COMPLETELY different that last year’s, but sooo much more productive.

Last year was the typical college spring break. Panama City beach with all my closest friends; beach all day, clubs all night, somewhat intoxicated the majority of the time.

This spring break, I went to Charleston, S.C. for the first few days to get my beach time in and wandered the city, which is ten times better than I thought. Everything was historical, palm trees everywhere, awesome weather, every designer store you could imagine and beautiful beaches.

It was hard to leave, but Charlotte, N.C. was my next stop.

Charleston was awesome, but Charlotte is my new favorite city. It’s clean, young, fun, and it’s officially my new place of residence as of May 2011!!!!

Impulsive? Maybe. But TOTALLY worth it.

How could you not want to live here?

I found an apartment with a $30,000 pool, fitness center, car wash, “man cave” movie room, balcony, and awesome neighbors... and it’s much cheaper than what I’m paying for the shit hole I live in now.

On top of that, I got offered a job while looking for an apartment. Although it’s not my first choice, it’s a great job and it will pay my rent for now, so it works for me!

PEACE OUT MORGANTOWN... you won’t be missed too much.

Oh how I love my red, red wine

Did you ever hear the phrase “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”?
Well, I love fruit and all, but I’d much rather prefer the research-proven, “a glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away."


Thanks to the research I did for a persuasive speech I’m doing, everyone, women especially, could benefit A LOT from just one 4 oz. glass of wine a day…
Here’s why.


Pros - Helps to:
1. Regulate diabetes by reducing the body’s resistance to insulin
2. Reduce degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease
3. Prevent blood clots by thinning out your blood
4. Prevent blood vessel inflammation
5. Improve cardiovascular health à can reduce risk of heart disease by 40%
6. Reduce risk of certain cancers from the antioxidants in red grapes
7. Boost your body’s defenses against infections
8. Prevent kidney stones, ulcers, etc.
9. Maintain lower body mass than those who indulge occasionally
10. Relax you like CRAZZZYYY


***BUT don’t drink more than the suggested amount because it could have reverse effects of all the benefits I just listed and increase medical problems, even something as minor as migraines (which many of you may already know how this aftermath of drinking too much wine feels like ;)


So with moderation, my dream of a healthy kind of drinking has actually come true!

You Did WHAT!?

I would love to talk about the NCAA tournament, but I don’t want to jinx my team before we even get started. SO. I’m going to talk about an experience that I had recently that I NEVER thought I would get talked into doing.

It’s not anything life-changing, but it was something that I always had a huge stereotype about that was completely broken. Well. Here it is… I went to a rave!!!

With my love for colors, dancing, and music, I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before!

Now, I’m not and have never been into doing drugs or getting so wasted that you forget what you did the night before (which were all my stereotypes of what goes on at a rave), but I would consider this more of a fantasy party. IT WAS NOT REAL LIFE.

Picture this.

A really nice, upscale hotel with an indoor water park, d.j. included and open all night long. Awesome music of all types coming from several banquet rooms, with light shows and people dancing everywhere. No fighting, no crying, nobody trashing anything. Just a ton of colored lights, insane music, and people who just want to have a good time.

For one night, I went completely out of my element. No drugs needed and a new appreciation for techno and lightshows, I’d say this “rave” was a pretty successful adventure! This was never on my bucket list, but it deserves a massive CHECK!
