The time has come to start my 8-week challenge. This video will take you through most of what I'll be eating for the next 8 weeks. Mixing and using variations of course!

The 8-week, "Best You Challenge" I am doing is with Jessica Arevalo. This lady has been a huge role model for me in the past couple of months. She's shown me what a true human is in the fitness industry and someone who knows what it's like to pick yourself back up after getting knocked down. Being knocked down and getting back up throughout my fitness journey is something I can definitely say I've gotten used to. Always being hungry for more (see what I did there) is something I've explored recently and I'm more than ready to challenge myself to different things I've never done.

Jessica's challenge involves education on macronutrient intake, a nutrition guide as well as a full training workout program. Her challenge is also mentality based and goes through different things every single day that helps me really meditate on specific situations. I will be working out 5-6 days a week and eating specific things each day that fall into my macronutrients. I'm excited to learn more about my body and to put myself through a challenge that I am passionate about!

The hardest part of this challenge is definitely going to be the food plan. I've always done flexible dieting but I want to REALLY and literally challenge myself. I want to know what it's like to really treat my body with only the essential nutrients it needs and see what happens. I will be eating A LOT each day, but a lot will be things that I'm not used to eating on a daily basis such as egg whites, quinoa, steel cut oats, bison (WHAT) etc.

Day 1 is officially complete. I'm sore and tired but it has never felt better. I cannot wait to challenge my body and really prove to myself what I'm capable of. I hope you will follow me on this journey and maybe even try a challenge on your own!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
