The students are all away this week: some went home, a few traveled with sports teams to compete in warmer weather and others even took a long plane ride overseas for the annual Spring Break London trip.
It's only mid-March, and my year has already been quiet eventful. And, there is still a lot more to come! I get to spend some time with my Big this weekend in the city. Girls' day! She has some ideas for what we should get into, but I just want to make memories and eat some good food, as always.
Modest Muskies.

It's been a tiring week. Monday we announced the 21st president, it's the last week of Phonathon and it's almost spring break for the students. Why has this made me tired? I don't know. My alarms were set for 5 a.m., 5:15 a.m. and 6 a.m. What time did I get up? 6:29 a.m. Yup, waking up to my alarms is a new issue.
A project I'm helping with for work has given me the opportunity to speak with students. Man, do we have a school full of great individuals. While I was a student, I was involved and busy, but I wouldn't say that I was anything more than an average college student. I was cum laude, Broadcaster of the Year, a scholarship recipient, and graduated a semester early. I wouldn't really boast these things or think of them as accomplishments others couldn't have earned. But, many people tell me how amazed they are for what I've accomplished while a student and since graduation.

A lesson from Leo's Academy Award win.
February 29, 2016
I just really need to get this off my chest. Leo DiCaprio is no doubt a fantastic actor. He have proven multiple times he can craft almost any type of character. His good looks certainly help as well, and I must add he is aging very well! Fans across the globe, nomination after nomination, rant and complain he should win an Academy Award. Well, yesterday was finally the day he got his award. OH JOY! I am happy for him, really.
Reminders for all of us.

1. Take a minute to breathe. Breathing is very important. You're not too busy to take a minute to just close your eyes and take a few breaths. You'll find yourself more relaxed and ready to tackle your next project. This is one of my major faults!
2. The world is not going to end from a few small mistakes. I've been working a little too fast and losing sight of my detail oriented-ness. Mistakes are going to happen. Whether it's a human error or not, it happens. When it does, you might get a slap on the wrist or a few moments of embarrassment, but it will not define who you are as a person or professional. Learn from the mistake, take your time and prove to yourself you're better than those mistakes.
3. If you have a job and usually don't go crazy on your spending, it's okay to treat yourself every once in awhile. When you have limits and stick to them, it's okay to splurge on that quarter-zip you've been eyeing. I really want this ASA pullover. It is really, really cute, and I know I'll take care of it. Have to drop $50.00 to get it? Do it. We have to remember our spending routines and just switch or opt out to other things later in the year. Money isn't the world, and you're going to be fine.
4. Sleep is more important than fitting in an extra work out. When people say weight management and loss is determined by what you eat more than working out, I want to believe those people! Sleep can help fight sickness and stress, so let's get those extra hours logged into those Fitbits.
5. Breathe. Seriously.

'Big Girl Panties' was different than I expected to say the least.
February 18, 2016
I've already completed six books this year. Just today, I finished Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich. Don't you hate it when you're reading late at night and you start falling asleep? You fight so hard to remember what you just read then spend the next 10 minutes reading the same page before you drop your tablet on the floor... whoops!
