Im Back...

So hi, its me again. I know what some of you are thinking, "ugh! she said she was done blogging?!" "I'm tired of reading her blogs" "Who does she think she is?!" Well SURPRISE! This is officially the last blog for my class. For my last blog, I want to try my best to compare it to a thriller movie!

My experience in college has been a thriller. Yes, a thriller. You know when you're watching a super suspenseful movie in the theaters,  and you’re excited but scared at the same time? Then you watch the opening scene and wish you would’ve bought the ticket to Trolls with your little sister, but it’s too  late. At this point you are full send and can’t back out now.

This explains freshmen year.. am I right? Or am I right?



The movie continues and the girl in the thriller trips and the light goes out. Your heart is racing and you cover your eyes enough to not see but see... and you know something is gonna happen but you don’t know when. Then the monster creature thing in the movie jumps out and you scream and the adrenaline is pumping and you wanna leave but are too committed at this point. Again. This is college. You are having a good time in college and then something happens and you are thrown off for a second and wanna leave but you know what? You already bought your damn ticket and spent $6 on popcorn.

Ya relatable?

At some points you are crying, telling your friends that this was a bad idea, your mom keeps texting your phone, and you just wanna know if the girl from the movie is gonna live. When the movie ends you turn to your friends and say that it wasn’t as bad as you thought and that you’d see it again...

If you can agree that college can be described as a thriller, let me know in the comments or shoot me a text! I really enjoyed writing blogs this semester and have decided to continue and post more about lifestyle and some of the crazy random things that come to my mind. So stay tuned.

Love, Rachel

DeadWeek Times 2!?

Okay, let me just tell you guys how this week and next week are going to be literal hell! College students love to call this "Dead Week". We call it Dead Week because it is the end of the semester and very professor thinks it is in the students best interest to make all final projects/presentations due within  one week span. I don't know why they think is a good idea...
Now you may wonder why the title of this blog is, " Dead Week Times 2!?" that is because my final projects/presentations/exams all are within two weeks. Basically this week is like a "pre dead week" and next week will be the official "Dead Week"....

1. Me Time 
I know I have mentioned this before in many of my blogs but seriously, Me Time. During this dead week you will be on autopilot. You might have your dinner at midnight and you wont even realize. Pay attention to these signs. If you are going to bed at 3am because you had to finish your paper then you might need to have some Me Time for awhile. Check out these tips on how to unwind and have time to yourself.

2. Get sleep
This tip is very obvious, GET SOME SLEEP. Dead week will drain you mentally, physically, and emotionally so sleep is key. Take a hour out of your studying day and take a nap. Resting your brain is very important if you are just filling it with pointless information...I mean very important useful information.

3. Play Fortnite 
This one goes out to everyone who is obsessed with Fortnite. If you are not familiar with this game then you have been living under a rock.. check this link out and get updated right now! Anyways I could not think of a third tip so I asked my friend Andrew Clemens and his immediate answer was "Fortnite" So Andrew, here ya go. Take a break from writing that 10 page research paper that you and I both know you are BS-ing anyways, and play Fortnite.

So the saddest part about this blog is that this is the last time you will be hearing from me. Remember this was for a class? Ya, well the class is almost over which means no more blogs. If you think I should still write weekly blogs, let me know!! Comment on my posts and tell me what you want to read about! Until next time (which may be never)

Stay Spicy, and thank you for sticking through till the very end.

Love, Rachel

High school senior year VS. College senior year

Your senior year of college vs your senior year of high school has similarities and differences. In today's blog we will discuss the similarities and difference in both, as well as get you ready for the duties of your senior year of college.

Some similarities between your two senior years is you are are probably feeling sentimental about leaving your school. It is normal to feel this way, I was sad my senior year of high school because I knew that all of my friends were going separate ways and it was not gonna be the same. That sentimental feeling is slowly creeping back in because it is my senior year of college.

High School Senior Year:

My high school senior year was AMAZING! My most memorable high school days were during my senior year. I was very involved with school activities my senior year and I think that is why leaving my senior was so hard. 

During your senior year you at least have your post graduation plans set or maybe are in the process. I had my top three colleges picked out my junior year of high school. Later that year I finalized my choice. Your senior year is were you have your post graduation plans set and it is the year to make the most memories. 

College Senior Year:

Your college senior year will be very similar to your high school year. What I mean by this is that you should have your post graduation plans set or at least somewhat planned out. This part is a lot more stressful now than it was in high school because these decisions are literally setting the path for the rest of your life. Some of you may be setting up internships or applying to grad school. Most of us are maybe setting up our careers. 

Whether it’s your senior year of high school or senior year of college the point is you need to stay focused. Focus on getting your path set and focus on making the most of the year!!

Stay spicy..as always 

Friday night adventures on a college budget

I have had the hardest time thinking about what to write this week and then it hit me! Why don’t I talk about how to have fun on a college budget. This idea sparked when I was hanging out with two of my sorority sisters. We were doing a bunch of fun things and I kept telling them, “guys, I don’t know what to write about this week!”. They responded with, “write about our day!” And welp, Mccall and Tati... this one is for you!

Here are the top three things to do in a college town while on a college budget!

1. Go see a play
Being in a small town you have to get creative with what you do. Luckily, one of my sorority sisters is in a play this weekend. The play was only $5!! That’s $5 to get out of your house and $5 to support a sister/friend! So if you know there’s a play going on in your town, GO CHECK IT OUT! It’s cheap and it’s something to do!

2. The Reservoir
So going to school in southern utah, there are a lot of easy ways to get outdoors! For example, I live 30 minutes away from one of the prettiest hikes! But what I want to talk about is what all of us call “the res”. The Res is just a man made lake that’s literally in the town. People like to fish, paddle board, and tan during the summer here! It’s a 3 minute drive from my apartment which makes it super easy! Find a cool part in your town and go!!

3.  Go to college events
This blog is about college so did you really think I wasn’t gonna mention this? Yes, go to college events. Some may cost money but most of them are free! Yes! FREE! Take advantage of the free events.


let me know in the comments what YOU do with your friends while on a college budget.
