Saturday Day in the Life // Grocery Haul + Bake with me!

TEP Blog Takeover (Week 9 Day 1)

Saturday March 23, 2019

Today I got to sleep in for the first time in a while. I went to Kimball because my sister is a freshman at Holy Cross at she has guest swipes. We both got omelets! My favorite omelet has feta cheese, tomato, spinach, and onion in it. I have not been to Kimball in months so it was fun to catch up with my sister and spend the morning together.

My dad and brother were in Worcester today and surprised my sister and I with Starbucks coffee. It was so sweet of them!

Love my little sis!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To do lists are a must for a busy day.

Then, I went back to my apartment and did some laundry. I like doing my laundry on the weekends because it makes the rest of the week so much easier. My friends and I did some homework in a study room in our apartment. I was super productive and got everything but two things done on my to do list. 

 

The views from my apartment are the best.
They were so fluffy and delicious 🙂

I baked these gluten free chocolate chip muffins for a special day that I will blog about tomorrow! The secret ingredient is coconut oil instead of butter.

 

 

 

 

My friends all met up at 6:30 PM at Chipotle. I got a bowl with lettuce, brown and white rice, cheese, mild salsa, and sour cream. So yummy!

We also went grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s.
I got all of this stuff for $40! Talk about a bargain.

The last thing I did today was meal prep for this week. I love making my salads and washing all of my fruit ahead of time because it saves me so much time in the mornings.

Meal prepping is my favorite!

College Day in the Life + Apartment Tour!

TEP Blog Takeover (Week 1 Day 3)

Happy hump day! Here was today’s schedule:

9:00 AM: Pre-Practicum– Today, we learned about an active learning strategy, Four Corners. We discussed an article on the Finnish education system and compared it to ours. When I saw that my professor made my class cookies, I knew it was going to be an awesome day!

The cookies were SOO good.

10:00 AM: 20th Century America– We submitted hard copies of our 5-7 page papers on the Redemption era and continued our discussion on the Gilded Age.

11:00-1:30: Black Biographies Seminar– In class, we learned about Marcus Garvey’s life. Then, we made Jamaican patties for lunch! My professor always makes us food because our class is during lunch time– it’s the best.

Here are the Jamaican patties cooking during class!

2:00-3:15: Urban Education– We learned about what solidarity means.

After classes, I met my younger sister, Catherine, at the gym to go for a run. Then, I did homework at Starbucks with a friend.

Apartment Tour!

I also wanted to show you my room and what my apartment looks like! Here are some pictures.

Here is what our living room looks like. We are ready for fall!
This is what my side of the bedroom looks like!
Here’s the view overlooking the city from my bedroom window. It’s so beautiful!

In addition to my bedroom and our living room/dining area, my three roommates and I also have a full kitchen (with a dishwasher, fridge, and sink), a bathroom, and a shower.

Pro-Tip: You can tell how long it is going to take you to get to school when you live on city-side of the building. This video shows how you can see the traffic on the major highway, Interstate 290, that takes you across Worcester. It’s great!
