Peace, love, happiness, and a balanced diet.

Life is all about balance--but I believe that you should balance things in your own way.

For instance, I'm not the kind of person who can spend all of my time studying, but I also can't goof around all the time. I can't spend a ton of time with my friends, but I can't be without them for long stretches of time, either. The biggest thing is that I have to be going constantly. I can't "stop and smell the roses." That drives me insane.

So far, I feel like I'm leading a pretty balanced life at college. First and foremost, my diet has certainly become much more balance. I eat a lot more fruits and vegetables, and I almost never eat pizza and other junk foods. I'm making straight A's in all of my classes as well as spending time with my friends and going out a couple nights a week. I've been able to do extracirriculars, too--I'm very involved in fashion board and Delta Zeta. I don't always excercise at the gym, but I do walk most places--I ususally spend an hour or more walking every day.

The only thing that's not very balanced is the amount of sleep I get. I don't always get enough, that's for sure. Red Bull has become my best friend because of my lack of sleep. However, the way I see it, it will all pay off in the end.

Keep it classy and fabulous!
xoxo, Laura

  1. Life's about balance. Currently, I've been taking more junk food. It's the hardest part to let go. Becoming balance in life requires planning and inner work. For mine, I'm working on it. :)
