Weekly College Life: Weekend Edition


Image result for welcome back gif





Hey, its me again! It's also week 7 which means that midterms are slowly upon us. Luckily for me I don't have legit midterms to take for my last semester. However, I still have the stress of my Senior design project, balancing a social life and sleep. Stay tuned for the last two months. Stress levels will be at an all time high.


Weekend Doody Friday/Saturday 

My weekend consisted of RA duties and stressful last minute Airbnb bookings. My last weekend duty (Woo!) as an RA was rather quiet which is what every RA hopes for.  For those of you who don't know what that is, you're basically on call for part of the weekend and need to carry a duty phone on you. If called, you need to handle any situation residents throw at you. I'm talking to you Freshmen! While nothing dire really happened, I woke up to a knock on my door and it was a fellow resident awkwardly asking me to assist him with an issue. Mind you, this was around 3-4 am so you best believe I was thrilled. All I will say is that you should always stay at a friend's place after drinking so you don't walk into the wrong room and sleep in some random resident's bed. Take that as a piece of friendly advice. Weekend duties can be wildcards though. Either you sleep like a baby through the night or its constant chaos and it feels like the world is ending. I've had my fair share of dealing with absolutely nothing (which I pray for every time) or I am running in my dorm or to other buildings trying to handle RA related issues in the middle of the night. All I can say is that it's somewhat bittersweet that I have finished one of the biggest roles in ResLife but a lot of good, bad, and funny memories were made. Also, that ringtone from the phone gives me PTSD. Never again.

Sunday Stress

Homework, homework, homework. Sunday is "productive" day as you all know, but most of it really was booking Airbnbs. Another piece of friendly advice, never book places when you leave for your trip 2 weeks before! Simple. I will be spending Spring Break in LA visiting one of my best friends on her Hollywood Semester. The places we booked were really nice but somewhat pricy. But the price you pay is what you get. It's also due to our lack of motivation to book two months in advanced. Luckily, we got this really nice place near Hollywood and The Grove. I can't wait to look at things I can't afford! Oh well, you can still have fun on a budget. I love cheap thrills...anyway,  I've never been to LA before nor have I ever booked an Airbnb so this should be very fun. I'm using the term fun loosely because I am going with another good friend and we have never traveled by ourselves before. I'm just really curious to see if my friends and I will run into the Kardashians or something or maybe some famous vlogger...I really do want to see some random dude walking down the street talking into a camera though. I'll definitely blog about my experience in the next week and a half! I'm excited to share it you you guys!

Anyways, signing off. Until then, I will be preparing for Spring Break and continuing Senior stuff. Warm weather and beaches are calling my name!

#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...
