Let's Get Started

I'm starting my first blog about the day in the life  of a college student. Doesn't sound all that interesting, trust me I know. But that's the problem, people tend to think that university life is a breeze. Perhaps 20 or 30 years ago it was different, I don't really know. These days, we've got a lot on our minds. There are a million things on my mind daily.
How can I find a job in a tough market?
How can I afford to move away after college with so much debt?
How much time do I have to study for these three tests this week?
Why do I have to work all night when what I really need to be doing is homework?
Can I fit in some gym time today after my internship?

The thing is, there's a lot of things we're suppposed to be doing to prepare ourselves for the future. Trust me, I know, it's my last year at university and it's really crunch time.
And I'll be honest, the only reason I've started this blog is, ironically, because I need to practice using social media so I can list it as a skill on my resume.
CLASS, PIZZA, GYM
You may have seen the popular MTV show, Jersey Shore. Their typical day involves GTL - gym, tanning, laundry. The title of this blog refers to MY typical day, though the order often changes. Spend some time at class, head to the gym to teach one of my classes (yoga, pilates, and cycling) then head down the street to the pizza place to put in a few hours of work as a waitress. Sounds enthralling, I know.
That aside, a college student can have some awesome stories, too. Think about it, we're surrounded by drunks and druggies on a daily basis, you know we've seen the strangest scenes out there. I have a lot of varied interests, too, especially when it comes to travelling. I've spent some time in Spain, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic, so I love checking out different cultures.

So anyway, check out my blog to see what a day in the life is really like.
