Selling My Body?
We've all heard the stories of college kids selling plasma to make ends meet; well people, that's my story. Unfortunately, my part time job wasn't cutting it when it came to rent, tuition, groceries, and gas; oh the fun life of an adult! Anyway, I thought I'd at least check out the plasma center and see if it was worth it. My first impression was that the place was a little run down. The building it was located in was a little old with a crumbling parking lot. However, once inside everyone was super professional, certified, and hard working.

The Sister of an Anorexic
It's common to see an anorexic's story on the web, internet, or YouTube. My sister has her own YouTube channel where she is able to document her recovery and help others along the way. I'm proud of her; I know she's getting better, but I also know relationships take a while to heal.

No Gym... No Problem
I used to work at a gym back in my hometown; therefore, I had a free membership and access to a gym whenever I wanted. Even at Texas Tech there was an amazing gym I could workout at whenever I wanted to. I took these for granted and didn't realize how dependent I had become on a gym. I'm not talking about the treadmill or elliptical; no, I would use the weights, the barbells, leg press, squat racks, etc. I loved my gym time, in fact I didn't realize just how much until I started my study abroad experience.

The TRUTH About Studying Abroad
"Three and a half months in Spain?! Girl, you're so lucky! I'm so jealous." These are the phrases I heard all summer from my friends and family back home before leaving fall, 2018 for Spain. Yes, it's true: I get to spend almost four months in another county studying the beautiful language and culture of Spain, and for this I'm incredibly thankful. However, there are things I've run into that I wasn't expecting and/or wasn't sure how to handle.
