Hump dayyyyy

UPDATE: I will now be changing my blogs to a Day in the Week of College Student because I feel like there's more content to share with you all rather than a day. This is just to spice things up a bit so I don't bore you guys. Sure, my life is just as "cool" as the next guy's, but there is more opportunity for everyone to relate to something I have to share. Any way I'll still be posting fun little GIFs of the day depending on when its posted!

It's hump day! I hope all of you are enjoying your Wednesdays. This past week, was pretty productive, more so being active rather than homework, but what else is new? While the weather was crummy, I was still able to make the most of it. On Saturday, I went to Zion with some friends to work on school work. To be honest, I really go there for the aesthetic and drinking hot chocolate because I don't drink coffee. I like to think I can fit in, so hot chocolate is my coffee. Also, I highly recommend their avocado toast. Personally, that stuff is like drugs to me. Just wish it came with two...one can dream.


With the stress of Senior project and other deadlines, what do you do? That's right, go shopping! Later that day, I ended up going to Grand Prairie Mall where it was surprisingly dead that night. No one was in the stores or near the mall which makes me wonder how a place can be so developed, yet no one is there. We passed by a Levi's and not a single person was in there. However, the weather was crap so that could explain it. My expectations was to walk out with something to buy because I ended up getting nothing. Also I was trying to spend anything that was $20 and below so there's my first problem. I even went to Goodwill to look for some cheap clothes. I was actually disappointed with the men's section at Goodwill though. I was just trying to get a nice flannel but the ones they have are not my style or size. I can't complain a whole lot because I have to remember I'm shopping at Goodwill. But's ok, window shopping is fun in its own experience especially trying on clothes, I know i'd never afford. P.S. later I found out there was a sale for jeans at Levi's. I was upset.
Continuing the night, I ended up going on an impromptu hangout at Jimmy's bar. It was a much needed night to combat the stress. Seeing a majority of my closest friends there was fun but Long islands and Moscow mules are where it's at!

On Sunday, I attended my first ever concert at Bradley. This is only for my music appreciation class because you know, credits and an easy A, but I actually really enjoyed the symphonic band. The concert was a tribute to the works of John Phillip Sousa and all his marches. Being a band kid in school, I though it was worth going to and I actually know/appreciate some of his pieces. Stars and Stripes Forever!!! I'd say it was a pretty stellar weekend.

Starting the week over is always rough though. The same old routine can get repetitive especially when you're in the middle of your Senior year. Monday and Tuesday's (which I hate, but you already knew that) are pretty much predictable for me. As the week goes on, things get tentative due to weekend plans and other obligations. Anyways, catch me next week and thanks for listening! I hope you all enjoyed your week.

  1. Hey Im also in music appreciation class! So now this is two classes that we are in the same in but different sections lol. I agree with you on Zion, I also only go for aesthetics. I try doing homework there but I get to distracted looking at what everyone is ordering and what people are wearing.

  2. I've never been to Zion before but I might have to check it out for the aesthetic! I enjoy your use of the last gif, I'm a huge Loony Toons fan because new cartoons kinda suck.

  3. I absolutely love Zion coffee and now I am in the mood for hanging out at Jimmys. I can relate to this blog on a personal level. Also, I love gifs!

#stress

What's up? This week I am back and will cover some days I've either enjoyed or days that are filled with stress! Don't worry, it's mainly good days! First off, the senioritis and stress are in full swing as I balance on with my Senior project, deadlines, and social life. The ride isn't over yet, so let's jump in Friday After my working out with one of my buddies at Markin we decided to hit up Corelife Eatery because nothing better like eating healthy food after a good workout! (We had coupons for a free meal so we took advantage). Let me just say Corelife is a really nice place to eat at. I believe they opened a little over a year ago and I tried it for the first time last year as well. While the food is good, I feel like it's missing some sort of flavor to it. I ended up getting a chicken noodle and rice broth bowl (essentially chicken noodle soup) and I thought it was meh. Since it's Corelife, there needs to be some sort of healthy greens added ...

Countdown

Hey guys, hope you're wrapping up your semesters nicely. This is it Seniors, we're basically a month out to graduation. With so little time left, there's a lot to get done. Portfolios, final projects, papers, AHHH! Granted, my finals schedule is pretty laid back, however, the weeks leading up to finals is literally hell. I'll explain this shortly. Let's get going with this week's blog! A Day in the Windy City On Friday, I went on a day trip to Chicago with AIGA, a graphic design organization. This was a great opportunity for my friends and I to network with real creative directors in the city as well as get a feel for what a design agency is really like. Personally, I feel like I could see myself in a design agency because I like open workspace as well as a fun and creative environment. Also, one of the design agencies we visited does a lot of promotional ads for McDonald's so I thought that was actually neat. However, I can't imagine staring at...

Travel day

Hello all! Hope everyone is recovering well from their spring breaks. We're getting so close to the end of the year. By this time it feels repetitive since this is my fourth year at Bradley. It's always after spring break that the year snowballs and before we know it, the year is over. This time around it will be different for us Seniors because we won't be returning. Depending on how you look at it, this is the light at the end of the tunnel for some. For me, it's a mix of emotions. I'm ready to graduate, but I know I will miss the memories I've made in my shirt time here.  Zoo Day Anyhow, this past weekend was mainly traveling. Friday was my last full day in LA for Spring Break. I spent most of the day at the LA Zoo while looking at exotic animals. I personal favorite was watching a pack of flamingos. Fun fact of the blog: a pack of flamingos is called a flamboyance. Other animals I saw included, chimpanzees, giraffes, and other aquatic animals. Heres m...
