My Healthy Lent|| Hell Week!!


By Maureen Mullarkey
March 13, 2013 - 7:48pm

Everything was perfect. I had gone to the gym every morning this week, as usual. When my neighbor offered a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie, I smiled, and politely declined. Instead of eating processed foods, I treated  myself, with healthy foods of nutritional value, like dark chocolate coated almonds or Chobani yogurt with dark chocolate chips. Feeling pleased with myself, I felt prepared to finally go home for my mom’s birthday weekend. On Friday, I ate a tasty salad for lunch, and bought a fruit cup for the bus ride. And because I’m not depriving myself, I even bought some vegan chocolate chip cookies from the dining hall to munch on.  When I went home, my sweet mother had thoughtfully prepared whole-wheat veggie lasagna....

I seriously thought that Freshman 15 was a myth and that the summer body that I acquired after months of grueling work at the gym would be a-ok after a couple months of college. WRONG. READ MORE

February 28, 2013 - 10:21pm

When it gets closer and closer to graduation, I get more and more concerned with 'what am I going to do when I'm done?' and when it comes down to it, I'm terrified that what I choose won't make me any money. But every now and again, I start to think about this video and realize I need to think about what what makes me happy and what I would want to do if money were no object. READ MORE

  Hello, fellow collegiettes! Can you believe that we’re at the end of February now? It only feels like yesterday that I was decorating my room for Christmas and buying presents for loved ones. Once again, winter break flew by faster than Usain Bolt at the London 2012 Olympics. Okay, maybe I’m stretching it a little, but you get my point.   READ MORE

Things That Changed the Way I Look at Life || Mary Lambert - Body Love

I've decided to start blogging about things that have changed the way I view life. With the end of my time at Binghamton University approaching with every passing day, I've started to think about graduation, about what I'm going to do afterwards and I have to admit, life is sort of terrifying that way. For my New Year's Resolution, I decided to redesign myself, be a stronger, more dignified version of myself, but I realize that I still need to draw strength from others in order to be that woman. So this blog will be about things that have started to change the way that I present myself and the way I look at life. Maybe one of these videos, images and whatever else will help to form another collegiette's views....

Why Everyone Should Study Abroad

It’s hard to believe this semester is coming to a close. It seems like just yesterday my mom was bidding me farewell at JFK airport as we repacked my 20-pound overweight suitcases (not an exaggeration). Not only did I get to live with my best friends in Florence, one of, if not the most beautiful city in the world, but I also got a chance to explore Europe and open my eyes to different walks of life. I have travelled to more countries, visited more museums and met more diverse individuals in the past 3-½ months than I have in my entire life. READ MORE
