Day 10 of 11 in 2011 Blog Challenge: Favorite Girls Night Out Event

I just have to say that I am posting while at my very new campus! School started today for most college students and this semester is new to me because I am at a branch off campus from UCF. I am at the Rosen College of Hospitality that is geared towards my major. It's such a beautiful and quiet campus compared to the university one. Plus they don't allow smoking on campus which is amazing! I am currently on a two hour break before my second class of the day so let's just say I am a little bored...

     

Yes, that is my school. Pretty, right?

    

Now onto today's 11 in 2011 challenge:

     

As I am young and a college student, most girls my age go out to bars or clubs when they have a girls night out. That is not my scene whatsoever. Not only do I have school and two jobs to worry about, I just don't see the fun in wearing inappropriate clothes and getting drunk.

So my idea of a fun girls night out would be to see a cute new chick flick out in theaters or grab dinner at a nice restaurant.

Something my friend Mackensie and I did one time was go the restaurant called The Melting Pot and we went just for dessert! The chocolate fondue is absolutely amazing there and we saved money by eating dinner at home.

I really need to have more of a social life this semester though. Last semester I was consumed by school and work and I missed out on a lot of fun.

Have a wonderful Monday friends!

Day 7 of 11 in 2011 Blog Challenge: Favorite Memory of 2010

Goodness it's hard to just pick one memory from 2010...there were so many good ones!

As corny as this is going to sound though, my favorite memory has to be when my boyfriend gave me my promise ring for Christmas. It is a promise that will go into 2011 as my boyfriend and I work on our second year together. I am so excited to see what the future will bring in 2011 :)

P.S. The boyfriend and I went to see Blue Man Group at Universal Studios on Wednesday night. It was amazing! I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Day 5 of 11 in 2011 Blog Challenge: Places I Hope to go to This Year

The family plus me and the boyfriend are in the process of planning on going on a Caribbean cruise this summer! I have been on two cruises in the past and they were both Carnival cruises so I am pretty sure we will stick with them again this year. I live in central Florida so Port Canaveral is the port we usually leave out of. It's only 45 minutes from where I live! I would love to go on one that goes to St. Maarten. I have never been there and have heard wonderful things about it.

It wouldn't be a Florida summer if I didn't plan on going to the beach! I love Cocoa Beach and New Smyrna Beach.



Since we couldn't go this past December, next December the boyfriend and I plan on going to Colorado to visit my aunt and her family. Rusty also has a friend that lives in Denver so we would visit him too. I can't wait to see snow this year!

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!

P.S. Happy one year anniversary to Rusty and I :)

Day 3 of 11 in 2011 Blog Challenge: Favorite Work-out Tips

Okay these work-out tips will come from the honest perspective of someone who said "going to the gym" is one of their New Year's resolutions...

one. Motivation is key! If I didn't have my boyfriend to nag me to go to the gym with him, I would constantly tell myself that I could go another day or I was too busy at the moment. It's important to have someone in your life that will help you stick to your goal and tell you when you are being lazy.

two. Goals need to be established before deciding on a workout routine. Are you trying to lose weight? Are you trying to tone your body? Different workouts lead to different results so doing your research or consulting someone that knows what they are doing is important.

three. Coming from someone that is now on an "eliminate fast food" diet; diet is an important part of working out. For people that want to lose weight, diet has a HUGE impact on your results. Overall, diet and exercise go hand in hand so be conscious of both.

I can't wait to read some other work-out tips from y'all! I am going to the gym today for the first time this year :)

Day 1 of 11 in 2011 Blog Challenge: New Year's Resolutions

Go link up with Kit and MJ!

These might look familiar because they haven't changed since my post from the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Challenge...

1. Go the gym at least three times a week. My school schedule for next semester should allow the time for this. My boyfriend goes to LA Fitness so I would be tagging along with him. 

 

2. Eliminate procrastination with school assignments which will hopefully relieve some of my stress.

3. Save my moolah! I have an issue with spending and if I want to move out of the parents' house any time soon, I better start doing a better job with this.

4. Let myself have fun. I am always so busy with school and work that I never let myself enjoy life. I am a college student. I am supposed to have some fun, right?

5. I need to start eating healthier because even though my metabolism is fast, I am sure the fast food that I consume is not good for me in the long run!

Have a wonderful New Year's Day everyone!
