If you were ever a student-athlete, you know it changed your life forever. No matter how many years it’s been there are still some things you hold onto from your glory days. This is for all my fellow female athletes - if you can relate to any of these, you know you played a sport in college. You own way too many T-shirts You likely have at least one drawer of your dresser solely dedicated to t-shirts. Between your team gear and tournament shirts - you’ve probably collected enough to clothe a small country. But you can’t bring yourself to get rid of them, even if they have a hole in the armpit and the words are fading, you just aren’t ready to give them up. You wear pre-wrap as a headband And you probably have this in every color imaginable (and are able to match it to all ...
Spring Must Haves
It’s late-April and it finally feels like spring! It seems like just the other week it was snowing...oh, no wait, it was. Classic Syracuse. Spring here is a constant tease; one day it’s in the high 70s and you’re ready to blind the world with your untanned legs, but the next day is cloudy with a chance of snow, rain, or baseball-sized hail. But it’s almost May (my birthday month) and there are a few things I can’t get through this season without. Sperry’s I am honestly fashion-illiterate so I’m warning you to not trust most things I say when it comes to style - but I think this one is a given. Who doesn’t love these? Boat shoes have evolved over the years and now they come in every color imaginable, so you really can’t go wrong (or maybe you can, I don't know). Mondetta ...
5 Tips For Getting Back Into Fitness
So you’ve fallen off the wagon - you went from going to the gym 4-6 days a week to driving by the gym to go get frozen yogurt (and you probably get more toppings than you should). It’s very easy to get off track but nowhere near as easy to get back into it. But I can assure you that it happens to everyone. Whether it’s life, injury, a lack of interest, or something else that gets in the way and takes precedent; here are some helpful tips to help you get back in the gym! Take it easy If you’ve taken some time off the last thing you want to do is shock your body by trying to follow the same routine you were doing before. It will either result in an injury or some serious DOMS, which will just deter you from wanting to return. Start by just going a few days a week and add a ...
Hello World!
I’m thrilled that you’re here, so now that I have you, I’ll tell you a bit about myself. Born and raised in Syracuse, I’m the youngest of three - but the tallest (sorry Jeff). I like to think that I’m pretty simple. I like donuts, ice cream, Oreos, Netflix, and my couch. I don’t like small talk, repetition, and people who don't use turn signals. Simple. To be honest, I never thought I’d have a blog. I wrote an article as an open submission for The Odyssey Online, and coincidentally they temporarily took down the open submission link once I finished editing it. So I took that as a sign - either I shouldn’t be writing or I should make a blog so I have somewhere to write my heart out. Hopefully it’s the latter. You’ll learn a lot about me from my about me page, but I’ll fill you in on ...
