My Finals Perspective

Finals are approaching so fast.
Earlier this year finals seemed so far away and now my first final is literally this Wednesday.
It is weird to think that my first semester in college is almost over. Hopefully my last minute cram study sessions pay off. I'm excited to get these finals over with because I feel like I need a break. I am enjoying the social part of college but all this work I constantly have to do is starting to get old so a month break is exactly what I need right now. I am hoping to do reasonably well on my finals to start me off with a somewhat strong GPA. Going into the medical field is exciting for me, but the competition for it stresses me out everyday, but at the same time it pushes me to get to where I need to be.

My Breakfast Food Perspective

This week I am going to talk about breakfast food. If I had to pick one thing to eat for the rest of my life it would be breakfast food. Breakfast food is such a wide variety of food, yet it is all so good.


Whether its blueberry pancakes. Honestly it can be any time of pancakes because pancakes taste amazing with just about anything. Personally my favorite pancakes are the real thin old fashioned pancakes.





Or thin waffles drizzled with warm syrup. Picture creds to Waffle House. Home of the best, cheapest waffles. Sadly I do not think there are any Waffle Houses in the Kalamazoo area or at least not to my knowledge.





Donuts are the best because if you are to lazy to cook up something yourself you can go pick up a fresh box of donuts. There are so many different flavors where everyone has to at least love one of the many donuts. One thing Kalamazoo does
have is donuts.


As good as carbs are, believe it or not healthy food actually tastes good as well. Sometimes eating a bunch of carbs at the beginning of the day is not the smartest choice depending on what you have going on later in the day. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Sometimes a fruit pizza with an oatmeal crust is just the pick-me-up people need to get their day going.

My Thanksgiving Perspective

This thanksgiving I went down to Texas to spend the holiday. I had a great meal and ate a lot of food. Sadly I did not get to try everything my mom made because my dog got ahold of some of the food and he didn't even leave a crumb behind. I'm excited about the leftovers I will be eating over the next few days.
The good thing about coming back to Texas is that I got to get away from Michigan's cold weather. Its so nice being able to wear a shirt and shorts outside without having to worry about being cold. Along with the good weather, I also got to see some good friends I haven't seen since literally summer. I had a nice time catching up with them, but wish I had more time to catch up because it didn't seem like enough time to catch up with everyone.
Thanksgiving gives me a lot to be thankful for. I am thankful that I got to come down to Texas and see my friends, family, and my dogs. I am also thankful that WMU finished the season 12-0.

My Music Perspective

                                My Music Perspective
I have always enjoyed music for as long as I can remember.
Unfortunately I have slowed down with concerts since I moved to Michigan for college. I guess I expected there to be more a few concerts on campus. I am unsure if there have been any, but none to my knowledge. Kalamazoo, Michigan is not exactly an ideal tour stop for more popular artists. They visit other Michigan cities usually and I would be so down to go to more of a low key concert for a not so well-known band, but I do not even know of any good places for events like that.  I feel some what disconnected from music. I haven't been to a concert since the summer. Occasionally small artists will come into my Direct Arts Encounter class but it feels more like class instead of a concert because of the fact that it literally it class. Every now and then I walk around with headphones but sometimes I just try to conserve my battery on my phone because I know I will not be going home anytime soon. I did a majority of listening to music in my car, but instead of driving to school I walk because even though I am paying a buttload for a parking pass I am so limited on parking. Anyways if any of y'all know of any places in Kalamazoo for music and or any fun concerts coming up drop your ideas in the comments below.

My Netflix Perspective Part 2

Movie Edition

Last week I posted a list of some TV shows that in my eyes are worth the watch. I promised y'all a list a movies for this week so here it is.

Movies

The Lizzie McGuire Movie- Recently added to Netflix but for real a classic.
Back to the Future- Haven't seen this movie in a while, but always fun to watch.
Mean Girls- My little cousin Nick watched it for the first time a few weeks ago and thought it was hilarious. Most girls know a majority of the lines to this movie.
Grease- Perfect classic when you are in the mood to sing along.
Sixteen Candles- The old one not the Disney Channel remake.
Clueless- Good movie, but I do not suggest starting a romantic relationship with your stepbrother.
Jaws- I would not watch this movie before a swim.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off- When is skipping school not fun?

FYI I use Netflix for TV shows really so my movie list is looking a little rough... But if y'all have any recommendations for good Netflix movies put them in the comments!

My Netflix Perspective

Nowadays a good majority of everyone watches Netflix.

Sometimes we find ourselves wasting time browsing for a good show or movie to watch.

Here is a list of some good TV shows to watch if you find yourself stuck browsing Netflix.

TV shows
 New Girl -  Currently my favorite show on Netflix. I find it really funny but the episodes are unfortunately short. There are currently 5 seasons on Netflix.
Scrubs -  Scrubs has stupid humor, but it still is funny and informative. The episodes are only around 20 minutes like New Girl, but there are 9 seasons to keep you busy for a while.
Arrow  -  This action filled TV show has longer episodes, but only 4 seasons. You always want to know what will happen next, definitely a must watch.
That '70s Show -  This 9 season long series is everyones favorite. I have not come across someone who doesn't like this show.
One Tree Hill -  9 seasons long. Starts off a little slow, but keep watching because it gets soo good.
Cuckoo -  3 short seasons, but HILARIOUS. You have never seen Taylor Lautner like this before.
Friends -  Everyone of all ages loves this classic TV show. All 10 seasons are on Netflix.
Grey's Anatomy - Currently 12 long seasons on Netflix. A tear jerker, but honestly very informative. I learned a lot just by watching this. Have not even started the third season though so no one spoil anything for me...
The Vampire Diaries -  7 seasons on Netflix. Another show called Originals even formed from this show although I have never seen it so I am unsure if it is worthy or not for this list.
Saved By The Bell -  I am very disappointed the college years are not on Netflix, but this classic is popular to many different age groups. 6 seasons on Netflix.
The 100 -  Very unpredictable show for me. 2 seasons are on Netflix, but I am pretty sure they made more seasons.
Jane the Virgin - I love the way this show is narrated. This is honestly a must see. 2 seasons are on Netflix.

Netflix is full of fun stuff to watch. They are constantly adding and deleting TV shows and movies. Here are a few TV shows I suggest for y'all. Stay tuned for next week to see my list of Netflix movies worth the watch...

6 Places I Would Rather Be Than Class

6 Places I Would Rather Be Than Class

Tired of class?
Don't want to be here?
Do you want to get up and leave?

Because SAME

Here are 7 places I would rather be than class...


1. Bed
If the teacher is just standing there going on and on and on about nothing in their monotoned voice I am more than likely going to fall asleep.  So I mine as well sleep in my designated sleeping spot.




2. The Beach
I want to go back to when my biggest worry was if I forgot to put sunscreen on. I miss the sand between my toes and people watching at the beach.



                                                3. Disney World
They call it the happiest place on Earth for a reason. I have not been to Disney since I was little, but that does not change the fact that I want to return there and relive my childhood for a future vacation.



                                              4. Hot Air Balloon
I'm not exactly sure how this would work out with my fear of heights, but it is definitely on my bucket list still. It is a good way to check out the best views around.





5.Valley Dining
9 out of 10 times that I am thinking about something other than my work in class it is about food. Valley dining has such a wide variety of what to eat. They have EVERYTHING. It is a blessing and a curse.



6.  This Garden
Sometimes all we need is some fresh air. This peaceful and tropical garden is the perfect get a way spot to relax.  My only suggestion is bring bug spray.
