My Last First Day at Clemson

So, today was my last first day of classes at Clemson. I feel as if it should be a nostalgic day which I should remember forever, so I'm going to tell you a little bit about it. Oddly enough, I did feel a lot different walking into the doors of Brackett this morning for my 8 am class. First off, I was a lot more comfortable walking into the building then I have been at any other time. I used to get really anxious the first time I walked into classrooms, but today it wasn't like that. This is something which I have done before and I was almost excited about completing this phase in my life. I also realized that this was going to be my last semester in the classroom and I really need to enjoy it. I need to make the most of this year and have a positive outlook on completing my years at Clemson. So overall, walking into Brackett this morning I was very comfortable and super excited about seeing what this year will bring.

My day was actually very busy. I got up early this morning and was actually able to get out of the door on time this morning. I had class from 8:00-9:55. After this, I headed straight to work. I was at work by 10:20. Following this, I worked and had to go back to class at 4:00. Then I came home to work out, have dinner, and shower. I am now spending some quality time with my puppy and kitty. It's going to be one very busy year, but I am really looking forward to it.

I'm hoping to work out in the morning before I go into work tomorrow. I am trying to finally get back in shape. Since my freshman year at Clemson, I have been very slack about working out and staying fit and watching my body. This year, I have realized that it is time for me to care more about myself and my body. In the past years, I have put it last and I no longer need to do this. I also work at GNC, so being there for over a year now I have realized  the importance of having a healthy lifestyle. Working out has been shown to improve many different facets of your life as well. I have also seen these one and two articles at MSNBC.com which show how exercise can be very useful to every individual. I challenge my readers out there to exercise as well. So, one thing I know about this year. I want to exercise more and improve my health.

Hopefully I will have time at another point this week to write another blog, but if not, I will be back soon!

  1. Much success with the classes and the exercise program. I know that getting 45 minutes or more of exercise daily has been a great help to me in controlling both my weight and my attitude towards life. It helps me relax and perform better, whatever I do. I think it will do the same for you. Keep up the blogs.

  2. Even a gentle walk in the evening - to clear your mind and find a little peace will go a long way toward a healthy lifestyle. An occasional drink helps too! (Just kidding!) Love to you! Come see us again.
