Workin’ for the Weekend

Posted August 4th, 2009 at 11:25 AM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

I am currently standing behind the counter of my local frozen yogurt shop, where I was privileged to find a job this summer and it has me thinking…should I get a job when I move back on campus?

My freshman year, I was scared enough (haha)and felt overwhelmed, without the stress and time that comes with a new job. However, I now feel as though I am fully capable of working somewhere on/near campus while still succeeding with my studies. Then again, in the back of my mind, I know that...

It's Summertime...

Posted July 29th, 2009 at 04:07 PM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

...For now anyways! Is it just me or did summer seem to FLY by? No really, I feel like I finished my May Minimester yesterday! I have about 3.5 weeks until I load up the car and make the long drive back to college (and the fabulous dorms )...it's bittersweet. I love college life, despite all of the studying, there are invaluable experiences that take place! Then again, I love being at home with my family (and puppies), hanging with my friends, whipping up creamy concoctions in my ice cream maker,...

The SPOT

Posted July 23rd, 2009 at 11:22 AM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

My friend, Alexa, and I tend to get into a routine once school starts up... Lunch at 1 on Tuesdays in the Student Union, dinner at the dorms Monday and Wednesday at 6:30, KEVA Juice after my Chem Labs, etc. It may seem a little trite and boring; but, in the midst of worrying about all of my classes, it is nice to have a little routine. Plus, thanks to our frequent trips to Keva Juice (purchasing my beloved Kevaccino), the store manager and all of the workers know us by name. They give us samples...

Campus Cuisine

Posted July 22nd, 2009 at 09:55 AM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

Eating healthy strictly off of the campus dining plan CAN be done. And to see more, you can check out my food blog, Nutritious is Delicious. However, just for the heck of it, let’s do a little scenario of what a healthy day of eats might look like (This would be a typical day, where I am rushed and have run out of food in my dorm, so I am stuck relying soley on the campus’ options…)

7:00- Wake Up, Get Ready, Run By the Convenience Store type place in the lobby to grab a LUNA or CLIF...

STILL?!

Posted July 10th, 2009 at 08:20 PM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

It amazes me that I still run into people who are without a cell phone (or without a reliable cell). Despite the hard economic times, etc; I think it is important to fit a cell phone plan into your budget and make sure that you are getting the best deal possible.

You will need a cell phone while you are away at college. I italicize need because I guess you could get around without one, but let’s be serious…
1. Your alarm fails to go off and since you don’t have a cell phone...
