Earth Lovers: I’ll Pencil You In…

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

As good as I felt today, smelling so wonderful and all, I couldn’t help but remember that Saturday is my busiest, most jam-packed day of all spring.

Cal Day is an open house of sorts, mostly for newly admitted students but also for the community at large. As a member of the Cal Band, we play at 3 performances between 8AM and noon. We then board buses to head up north to Picnic Day at UC Davis, where we participate in a battle of the bands until we get too tired (~8PM) or when our director gets too cranky (~4PM). The whole day is super fun but extremely exhausting.

Thinking back to my slip-up the other day, I need to strategize so I can keep up at the Earth Lovers 3-Minute Shower Challenge. This is what I’ve been thinking:

  1. Slightly vary my alternating hair/shaving schedule so I won’t need to do either that night, keeping my shower time down and letting me focus on getting the day’s grim off.
  2. Keep my 3 minute song poppin’! As much as I love “What a Girl to Do” by Bat for Lashes, I need something to keep me moving, grooving, and efficiently bathing during my limited time span.
I feel silly planning my weekend around my shower Saturday night, but that is the small sacrifice I make in order to conserving water. I guess it would be the same as planning my route to work around taking public transportation rather than driving.

Coming up later this week: half way point!! Woo! 1 week down, 1 more to go. Also, a personal reason why I’m taking the 3-Minute Shower Challenge.

What I did with my extra time: turned in an application for somewhere place to live next year – and it’s not a cardboard box!
