#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 to it and kale happened to be one of the additives. However I'm sure it could've have been substituted for lettuce or something. The bowl also contained carrots and green onions like traditional chicken noodle soup does. Like I said, I wasn't a big fan since it tasted kind of bland and I was still a bit hungry after, but it was a free meal so I can't complain too much. I have two more of the free meal coupons so I might as well keep going back and explore the menu.

Service on Saturday 

Saturday morning, I volunteered at First United Methodist Church for a program called Loaves & Fish. This was a floor program set up by myself and other floors from Williams Hall. I got to work along side my fellow RA staff, friends, and residents. The service was basically serving people at a soup kitchen. We served food and beverages for people in need and it lasted all morning. I had a really good time getting to serve people because its something I normally don't get to do often. Volunteering opened my eyes and made me realize there's so many people in the world that have little to none so I was glad to give up my Saturday morning and give back to a community in need. The program lasted about 4 hours so I took a nap once I got back. 

Tuesday

Yesterday, was fairly chill up until I got to my Senior design class. I had something in my gut tell me something was due soon since its already April and I was right...I found out my Senior Project should basically be done in the next three weeks or so. If you're curious to know what I'm working on, see my previous blogs, "Is It Spring Break Yet?". I am still in the rough draft stages of mocking up everything so I will show more material once I get physical pieces together. Maybe in the next week or week and a half. The process is also stressful because I had to drop some dollars for my portfolio booklet (oof). In addition to that, I'm certain that I will be purchasing inexpensive things for my senior project as well. The things we design majors do...until next time. Have a good rest of you week folks!

  1. I totally feel you on the stress part! Although I already completed my senior project in another semester, I still feel like I'm drowning in assignments! On top of job interviews, extracurriculars, and work, the senioritis is definitely hitting me hard right now! Good luck on your project!

  2. The stress is at an all time high. I totally feel you . Right now it feels like there is no time to finish anything without more time. Everything just seems to be due at the same time!

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...
