I had been wanting to buy a pair of Toms for a while now, but I recently went on the website and looked through the different pairs that they have. I think that Toms provides a great way for people to enjoy something for themselves while also helping those in need. If you don't know the Toms story, check it our here! Can't wait til I receive my pair and when the person who receives their from

Students to Sport Pink for Cancer AwarenessClick above to see an article that was written about Breast Cancer Awareness month at Regent U! Several of the girls on my floors (including me!) are featured in it. Share the article please! It was so fun spreading information about breast cancer and being able to do it in a fun way. As you may already know, my wardrobe consists of mainly pink items

(Image from Smashing Arts...click to see more)Fall is definitely here! And living in a state where they fully experience fall is great! Pumpkin lattes, brightly colored leaves, cool & crisp weather, fancy scarves, and even a touch of classical music lilting through the air are all things that come along with the fall season. Christmas is right around the corner, but please take a moment to sit

Recently, I have contemplated, struggled, dealt, thought about (whatever have you) with complaining. I think I've been a big complainer. Wah this, Wah that...whine whine whine. I noticed that complaining was really dragging me down spiritually. Anything I have in this life is EXTRA. I really only need God's love and what He provides. So complaining only shows how ungrateful I am. We were

Since the weather has been cloudy and rainy and cool, I've been in a tea-drinking mood. Earl grey and English have been my favorites. I even learned how to make an Earl Grey latte (London Fog tea). I've also been thinking about pretty dresses since Christmas Ball is only a few months away. I already have my dress (which I am so excited to wear!) but I stumbled across these beautiful dresses

Hey All!I haven't blogged in a while...oops. I assure you that it wasn't intentional. But I've been so busy! My last blog post was a picture that I took while I was home in Cali.

News Flash! We just battled a bug. And by we, I mean me, Stephen, and my hallmate Kirsten. Stephen and I had just finished watching a movie and eating dinner, just having a wonderful, tranquil night :) Then, as I'm brushing my teeth, Stephen practically shrieks and says, "There's a bug under your front door!" I lean out of the bathroom, toothbrush in mouth, just as the bug is exiting back

...The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising! It certainly can, can can! That's a line from There's No Business Like Show Business, one of Marilyn Monroe's movies. But the lyric always pops into my head whenever it gets really hot outside. And let me tell you! It is sweltering. Literally, I think Virgina Beach has turned into a sauna. I was surprised that the weather had actually

When I initially started writing this blog post, I was making my usual (and favorite) cup of hot English tea and making my breakfast (strawberry toaster strudel & leftover manwich). I was off work today after having a full week of work and overtime. I was so excited to have a day to spend relaxing and doing "me" stuff. I got up later than I usually do which was nice because my work schedule

So there's this new musical duo that I've discovered. They're called The Civil Wars. Their music is like sitting beneath a huge oak tree whilst hiding from the summer heat. You're sipping on an iced tea and watching the dandelions and fireflies float by as a mild young man sings and plays his guitar. The first song that I heard of theirs is called Barton Hollow which is my favorite so far.

SOAR came and went with the fan fare that we all expected. It was so much fun! I'm glad that I was able to be a part of it :) Because the events are so big, the school split SOAR into two this year. It was great being able to experience it TWICE! I met so many awesome kids who will be attending Regent in the fall, many of which will move into the Commons. I also had a fun time getting

Oh my! Can't believe I'm 22! This birthday was so different from the many others that I've had with my family in California. My best friend/roomie Sammi was in PA visiting her boyfriend and most of my other friends were busy (sad day!). AND I had to work. I was determined NOT to have a "bad" birthday even though it was looking kind of bleak. After work, I took a nap then got up and ate

During the years that I took online classes with Regent, I took all of my Gen Ed courses and some of my English major courses. Because my English cognate (focus) is multimedia communication, I had been taking many communication classes
