WHAT IN THE WORLD!

HOLY MOLY... WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I GOING TO DO AFTER COLLEGE!!!!!
I am flipping out [if you couldn't tell!!]...

So I am not graduating until December [to prolong stepping into the "real world"] but this is still on my mind because TIME FLIES... Also, I have been rejected/have not heard from pretty much ALL of the internships I applied to [out of state in the field I would love to work in] so I am feeling a bit dejected from that as well...

So I need your help [everyone who actually reads my blog... or happens to STUMBLE upon it through an internet search]... WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY LIFE?!?!?!

My interests include:

- Nutrition & Health & Exercising
- Meeting New People
- Making People Laugh
- Cooking & Healthy Food
- Laughing
- Socializing
- Aiding People When They Need Help
- Celebrity News & Gossip
- Dancing
- Modeling/ Posing
- Getting Attention [ha ha, yes yes it's true]...
- Writing
- Snow Boarding
- Exploring

And yea, that list could go on for days! I would LOVE some advice or I would LOVE to hear what career[s] you believe I would best fit in with!

**Bear in mind that I am graduating with a broadcast journalism degree so I am not afraid of being in front of cameras and am a very outgoing person!

How do you stay motivated?

(GAH! What in the world do I have to look forward to!!! ha ha)

Being a senior in college... I am starting to struggle with a severe case of... Senioritis! Yep, that's right, it doesn't just occur to seniors in high school, college students are suffering hard core too! (Isn't there a PILL FOR THIS!!!)

It's only been 4 weeks into second semester and already I want out... DONE... I WANT TO BE FINISHED WITH THIS NON-SENSE!!!

I really don't think it helps that I am taking ridiculous classes that mean nothing to me and my major and are filled to the brim with ODD CHARACTERS (enough said right there)...

So how on earth am I going to stay motivated until APRIL 30th!

This coming week will be a "long" and tiring one... but come next Sunday I will be grinning from ear-to-ear for sure!

I have to get up at 4 am two more times this week (already did my first 4 am wake up call today)... I have to cover a news even on Tuesday Morning (I will post my video on here by Tuesday afternoon, so stay tuned!)... I have a history of Africa test on Friday... I have a paper due (uh, yeah, not sure when, ha!)... I have to read two books... I have to critique people's writings (and let me tell you, IT'S HARD because everyone's stories make no sense in my mind... did I mention I have some ODD characters in my classes?)... And all of this is just school life, then I have my "life-life" to attend to... Oh joy! Perhaps I should put that part of me on hold?

February is just going to be a royal pain in my booty... GOOD THING it's a SHORT MONTH and there's NO LEAP YEAR! ha ha!

So how do all of you keep yourselves motivated when you really just "don't care" anymore?!?! I need some pointers - STAT!

UPDATER!!!

So yea, I figured I'd just post a quick update on things... nothing TOO special is going on... but things ARE "GOING ON"...

1. Started my new internship today as a WEATHER INTERN... AND MADE MY ON CAMERA DEBUT! TAKE THAT COLORADO... Hope you enjoyed me on the tube because there will be a lot more of where that came from!

(yep, that's where I go to school... CU-Boulder)

2. Started Spring Semester last Monday... have tomorrow (Monday) off... Only have class Monday, Wednesday & Friday... Taking 3 classes for the time being... Will have a 4th class during the month of February... and then a 5th class (the 4th will end) in March... until mid-April... and then NO FINALS... SO school for me is done... APRIL 30th! Wo Wo!

(Amalfi Coast, Italy)

3. When school is over for the "year" my family and I will be headed to ITALY! Yep, originally it was TURKEY but my dad is a scardi-cat and wants to stay in Europe... well I cannot complain, Italy is still cool... PLUS THERE ARE CUTER BOYS I AM SURE.. OH AND BETTER FOOD...?!?! ha ha! No offense TURKEY but I like Olive Oil better than... YOGURT!

(Yea, that's NOT ME... or my trainer... Although my trainer has a HOT BOD... JUST LIKE THAT... Perhaps which is why I am weight training in the first place? We all need some sort of motivation right?)

4. I am officially weight training (yea for me that's big news because I used to never even LOOK at dumb bells...)

5. Oh... I am once again going to graduate in DECEMBER 2010... instead of MAY 2010... My parents think it's best for me to just simply stay in school... and since there seems to be NO JOBS WHAT SO EVER out there... SURE WHY NOT!?! ha ha!

6. But since I am staying in school I am applying to every ENTERTAINMENT internship under the sun for the summer months because... the ENTERTAINMENT WORLD needs me! I wonder which company will be FIGHTING over me later this spring!!! (HA HA, yep... NONE PROBABLY!!)

.... You know, I thought I had a lot more going on in my life... Oh well I do but it's not like i am going to update you on the pages in X & Y book that I have to read and all the topics to papers I have to write... I will save you from that TORTURE... unless you're interested in say... WRITING THEM FOR ME?!?!?! ha ha ha!

Any ways... I'm OUT... I HAVE TO WATCH "THE GOLDEN GLOBES' RED CARPET" so I can get tips on interviewing celebrities on the red carpet... IF I close my eyes I can see myself in a strapless black dress with a bit of blue ribbon intertoven... on the red carpet interviewing... oh who am I kidding, I cannot single out any one in particular HUNKY celebrity cause they're all pretty fine... well except for the DUDE who's in THE HANG OVER... who plays ALAN... Ah ha ha ha ha!

Well Well Well...

IS SUMMER REALLY ALMOST OVER???

Well... I'm back... While my law class isn't over until tomorrow (my last test is @ noon)... I am in "vacation mode" already and ready to think about ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the next two weeks... And then of course, back to school! Hm, back to school... for all you who are going back... Here is a check list of what you should consider getting yourself so you're organized and ready to TAKE ON your new load of... "stuff":

(Check List is Geared Toward College Students BUT Anyone Can Use These Ideas)

# 1: A Planner (or a PDA or your high tech cell-phone, black berry, etc)

#2: Your Computer & Printer (that's right - EVERYTHING at school is VIA computer access these days, from writing papers to taking on-line classes - like my law class - a computer is a MUST!!)

# 3: Pain Medication (Advil, etc - We all know going to class can be quite the headache... as can the morning after - ha ha)

# 4: Comfortable Walking Shoes (sneakers are best - and if you're concerned with "cellulite" invest in those cellulite busting shoes - ha ha: at school YOU WILL BE WALKING A LOT to all your different classes that could be on opposite sides of the campus - just be aware!)

# 5: Class Books (yes, they cost a TON but you can always order them off of Amazon - used - for a lot cheaper if you THINK in ADVANCE!!)

# 6: A Mini Fridge (yes, most dorms come with mini fridges in each room - but sharing a tiny thing with your roommate is just ridiculous!)

# 7: Sun Screen (you will be outside a lot - and even if you don't go to school in the warmest local, sun screen is still needed - your nose & ears will thank you later!)

# 8: Bottled Water (or bring a refillable bottle - you must keep hydrated!! ha ha)

# 9: Money/Cash (yea, well this is a given because everything costs MONEY these days and you know you're going to want a pizza at 3am or some sushi - ha, at least I do)

# 10: Energy Drinks (preferably sugar free & calorie free - or even better: green tea or coffee - because you know you're going to pull a few all nighters... although I recommend you PLAN things in advance!!)

# 11: The Name of Your Guidance Counselor (going to college is pretty overwhelming and knowing who your counselor is will definitely benefit you because they have "been there, done that"... take it from me, I didn't know mine until second semester Junior year!!)

# 12: Bike/Scooter/Roller Blades (if your class IS ON the other side of campus RIGHT AFTER another class - these things will help you BOOK IT - just be sure to not HIT any walkers!!)

# 13: Pillow Top Mattress Pad & Comforter (enough said - comfort is key!)

# 14: Backpack (yes, even though you may no longer be in high school or what not, backpacks of brief cases are VERY useful because some classes DO require you to bring books - bogus I know!)

# 15: iPod/MP3 Player (when you're walking around campus it's always nice to have some music - I know it puts a "pep in my step")

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST (although I am pretty sure there are tons of other things you SHOULD bring to school)...

# 16: THE MOST COMFORTABLE SWEATPANTS YOU OWN!!! That's right, sweats are the STAPLE on all campuses - who the heck is going to primp themselves if they have an 8am class... yea, didn't think so!

***PS: Just because I didn't say it doesn't mean you SHOULDN'T go to the school gym - typically you're College ID Card will grant you access - USE IT - it reduces STRESS for one and two... you know you will probably have one two many beers... or slices of pizza... you get the picture!***
