Food is my spirit animal :)

Hello world, 
Today’s blog is about food. Who does not love food. Food is my spirit animal :) Growing up, my mom had it hard. I was a super picky eater and I still am. I am a big fruit eater but I do not like many vegetables. What is everyone's favorite fruit? Mine would have to be peaches or oranges. I usually eat one of those every day if possible. 
Going into my freshman year, I still lived with my parents, so I did not have to worry much about food. I would cook dinner every now and then but my mom did most of the cooking. Well, at the start of my sophomore year in college, my fiance started renting a house and I started to stay over there more often than my mom and dad's house. With that came the responsibility to cook dinner almost every time I stayed over. I was not that I did not know how to cook, I just did not have a lot of time to cook these time consuming meals due to me being a full time college student with a crazy schedule. That is when I started googling fast and easy meals that I could cook in a decent amount of time, but also taste amazing. One of the meals I ended up finding was this smoked sausage and hashbrown casserole. All it takes is frozen shredded hashbrowns, milk, cheese, and smoked sausage. You put the hashbrowns on the bottom of the pan, pour milk over the hashbrowns, put some cheese over the hashbrowns then put the chopped up smoked sausage throughout the pan. If you are a cheese lover like me, you can add more cheese over top of the smoked sausage pieces. 
The lesson I was everyone to walk away with today is that no matter how little time you have, you can still make a tasty dinner in just a short amount of time. Today’s movies and T.V shows make college students seem like all they eat is ramen noodles but they take fifthteen minutes to make. Tying into my last post about time management, as long as you manage your time and set time aside for meals, you can have a good meal while still having enough time to finish those thousands of assignments or study for that exam. 
Stay safe, stay happy, and keep blogging!
Love, 

The busy college kid

Sleep..... I love sleep!

Hello world,  If you are anything like me, you love your sleep. When I got older, my mom always told me that I hated taking naps as a little girl.. But doesn’t every kid? :) As we get older, I feel like we appreciate sleep more and more. Being in college can take away that time for a decent night's sleep if you do not manage your time.  With this pandemic happening and all the schools, including universities, getting shut down, everyone had to go online. This brought on a tremendous challenge for me. I know as a kid, I always wished school would get canceled for a snow day or something but that was because that meant I could sleep in and would not have any work to do (schoolwork that is). Well, with the universities finishing the semester out online, it really was a challenge. My alarm goes off every morning at eight o’clock in the morning. There will be days when I do not talk myself into getting out of bed until ten o’clock or later. Staying home every day and doing nothin

What do you think summer will be like?

Hello world,  What do you think 2020 summer will be like? Will things ever open back up?  With everything being closed, what will everyone do this summer? I know my family and I plan on buying a pool and spending quality time together. But with all the fun comes the time to work. I will go back to working at the daycare five days a week. I honestly love working at the daycare and seeing all the kids. Throughout the summer they get so used to you and learn your name and get close to you and I do not think there is a better feeling. I have been at this daycare for four summers now, and I have come to realize that I love working with kids and this has led me to want to further my nursing career into being a pediatric nurse. Not only do I work with kids all summer, but I also work with this during the dance season. I am a dance teaching assistant. We teach the younger kids dances and we work on those dances September through May until the day of our recital. Unfortunately, we had to

College kid in a pandemic, say whattt?

Hello world,  I know I talked about this in last week's blog, but this is my everyday life now, being a college student in a pandemic and nothing else.  Going from face to face classes to online classes was a hard pill I had to swallow. Going online meant I would not have the full access to the professor's time when I needed help, I would not have that quiet space I would take to do assignments between class, I would not have peers to lean on when I did not understand a concept. We all had to adapt to the new "normal". Professors had to switch their lesson plans from interactive to online where interactive may not be possible.  For me, I feel like the hardest part was going through the powerpoints and teaching myself the content of the chapter. I am not good at teaching myself things. I can not just read through the slides and retain the information. I have to have someone read the powerpoints, explain them and write them down and key points I can remember f
