You're almost there!!

Welcome back readers! I hope the last blog helped you guys get through the "post spring break blues".
This week we are gonna talk about how you are ALMOST THERE!! It is almost the end of the semester but we still have to some how stay motivated and finish the school year off right! I know what you are all thinking because I am thinking the same thing!
"I am running out of gas and drive to finish all of these assignments". 
Or "My body is definitely not summer ready" or the most common thought,
 "I have no money to spend on fun summer adventures" 

Stop with these thoughts!! If you thought "post spring break blues" were terrible.... Here are the worst things about "pre summer excitement"  Let me tell you why...




1. You lose all sorts of motivation to finish school with A++
So we have passed through the spring break blues and getting back in gear was the worst. You basically have to re teach yourself how to read after spring break. Lets say that you have retaught yourself how to school again and now you get wind that summer is coming fast.What do you do??? Some things that I just keep telling myself is that if I focus and study hard now, then I can relax and do what I want to do over the summer. Sometimes it is hard to study for that accounting exam when you just want to go on adventures with friends. But hey! you can go on infinite adventures with your friend over the summer...but you need to pass this accounting exam.Keep telling yourself to stay focus so you can reward yourself with summer fun. Trust me, you do NOT want to be crying the whole summer because you failed a class...Study now, play later.  Here is a link to help you stay motivated to finish the year strong. 

2. Not having enough money to enjoy summer festivities 
If you're like me, you probably have a million plans and adventures planned for this summer. My question to you is, do you have the money for it? If the answer is no, which I have a feeling I am right.... Then take some extra steps in saving some dollars so you can actually enjoy your summer! I know a lot of people who make sooooo much money over the summer. Whether it is summer sales, a paid internship, or working overtime, they have been able to make money while still having a great summer. That is our goal guys!!! Lets make money and make memories.




3. Being fat and pale.
This is the #1 thing everybody does not want to be when summer hits. My suggestion to you is Gym and Tan, NOW! It is easier said than done, I know. There is plenty of time to prepare and feel good for when summer arrives. Here are some of my favorite cardio workouts for you to try. Lets get that body right.
Now the thing with tanning....if you want a quick fix then I suggest using a self tanner. If you want a more natural look then I suggest laying out multiple times a week and maybe a tanning bed.















My final thought to you is to stay strong and keep pushing through the semester. You are almost there!!


Until next time, Stay Spicy.

Post spring break.

Welcome back! Thanks for continuing to open my blogs and read my terribly put together content. If you are reading this, I hope you find joy and humor in my post. If you do, leave a comment and share with your friends. 

Today I am talking about whats happens after spring break, ya know reality? Everyone tends to have "Post Spring Break Depression". You will get an insight of some tricks and tips to get over that hump. Sit back and enjoy! 

#1 MONEY

This year I was unfortunately unable to have a wild fun spring break with my friends because I had to work the whole time. So unlike my friends, I made money over spring break instead of losing money. So if you are like my friends and spent all of your money over spring break don't worry! Here are a couple ways to raise quick money.

1. Donate Plasma! I have yet to do this but I know people who make $30 dollars every time. 

2. Surveys! Believe it or not you can get paid to take surveys, so easy!

 Check out this way you can earn some quick money! 

#2 DETOX

You might have spent most of your money on food and alcohol. I mean, what else are you suppose to spend your money on? I bet I can guess that 95% of the food you bought and ate was NOT healthy. We all get off track a few times with our diets and it is okay. Here are my two favorite detox cleanse drinks that are super easy to make and really do wonders after a week of bad food and lots of alcohol.

1. Green Juice

2. Liver Flush (because we all know you destroyed your liver..)

Here is the link for the recipe for these two drinks!

 

#3 SLEEP

Sleep seems to be a common thing when writing my blogs. But hey, I am gonna talk about it again. Now that spring break is over you can get back to your normal sleep schedule. No more late nights with friends on a Tuesday. Check out the easiest and quickest ways to fall asleep. 

I hope these help! Stay Spicy

Midterms

This week was filled with tears, stress, and midterms! You may think finals week is the worst week, but I beg to differ. Midterms are usual given the week before spring break which makes it the longest week of the whole semester!! No one has motivation the week before spring break, because we are all thinking of the sunny days on the beach with no homework. We definitely are not wanting to think about tests or studying for tests. I do not want you to worry because this blog is gonna talk about all the motivational tips to keep your eye on the A+  so then you can enjoy the sunny beach even more.

1. Pour a cup of coffee, throw your hair up and HANDLE IT.
Sometimes the best motivation for me is a big cup of coffee. Not only does it keep me awake, it is one of my favorite drinks and usually puts me in the best moods. For me, throwing my hair up in a bun and sipping some coffee is all I need to get through some studying.



2. Go to the Library
Some people get more done and stay more motivated if they doing homework or studying in the library. I use to spend hours and hours at the library every night my freshmen year. I remember going home after class and filling my backpack with different foods so I could study.
Maybe you stay more focus at home studying. Find your study spot and learn to love it! Here is a link to some more tips with studying at the library.


3. Stay Well Rested
I know for a fact you will find yourself at 2am going through the study guide one last time before the test. A lot of students find this the most effective way to study...staying up way too late. In reality, you are not even retaining any information that late! The best advice for you is to study but then go to bed at a reasonable hour so your brain can actually process the material. I use to stay awake until I could not keep my eyes open. I felt like I studied hard but in reality my brain was not remembering anything.







I hope this help you through your week of exams!
Until next time, Stay Spicy.

Junior year...What am I doing with my life??

Your junior year is filled with questions. "What am I studying?" "Why haven't I found a job yet?"
But the most important question you will ask yourself during your junior year will be, "What am I doing with my life?"

Every college student has asked themselves this question, many many times. Some of us are still asking this question. I want you all to STOP asking yourself this question every single day! Yes it is important and you should think about what you are doing with your future, but don't keep yourself up at night about it. Today on the blog I am gonna talk about how you can stress less but still make a plan.

1. Don't let these thoughts consume you
Yes I think planning your future is extremely important...I mean we are in college for a reason, right? I'm not saying don't plan and think about your future. What I am saying is don't let it ruin the present. Don't let the thoughts of the future affect your day to day routine. DO put some time st aside to focus on your end goals after graduation.

2. Keep the relationships that matter
What I mean by this is, as an undergrad you surround yourself with good and bad people. After graduation people's lives shift. Some of the friends you made might still be in your life, others will only be interacting with you through Facebook. The important thing is to keep the positive people in your life after college.

3. Get some sleep! 
I know how hard it is to get some sleep when your  mind is running around in circles. You might feel like you need to have your life figured out overnight. Unfortunately that is not the case whatsoever. So stop keeping yourself up at night. Check out this link on  how to get a good nights sleep. Trust me. You'll want to read this.

Until Next Time, Stay Spicy
