Throwback to the middle school years when everything was awkward, your emotions did not make sense and now that you are older you think why did I wear that but you had one person always there for you? Chelsa, was my person back in middle and high school... We were best friends, and of course we had our fair share of trials..... But to this day, I will always be thankful that God put her in my life. No matter what happens, she will always be one of my favorite people. Thank you Chelsa for letting me interview you and catching up a little bit. You are doing amazing, and God is truly blessing your life....

What is your favorite Taylor Siwft song and why?
Ahhh so hard to pick a favorite because every song reminds me of a different time in life and has a different meaning to me! All too well is pretty generically the number 1 song of hers and is a never skip for me. Hands down the best, but so many other good ones and I would probably change my mind tomorrow.

2. What is your favorite thing about Nashville?
Aside from the music & over all spirit of nashville, I LOVE the food scene here! So many people don't realize how much good food we have here.

3. I see you thriving with your hotel job, what exactly do you do?
I DID love my hotel job... sadly my position was eliminated due to Covid. I was in HR at my dream hotel in nashville- Noelle! I'm missing the team over there so much and still keep in touch with a lot of friends there. I'm currently dipping my toes in a new industry- pharmaceutical/healthcare! It's been a big adjustment so far but everyone has been so nice & welcoming :)

4. Congrats on the engagement, what is your favorite thing about wedding planning, and what tips do you have for other brides to be?
Oh gosh, wedding planning is so difficult during a pandemic, so my heart goes out anyone navigating that right now!LikeCopyReport4. Continued- my biggest piece of advice is to really partner with your fiancé on everything- it's your first test of marriage after all! Set a budget, talk through the guest list & what is important to both of you!

5. I see you having so much fun traveling, what has been your favorite spot to travel?
I don't think I have a favorite spot to travel! I just like to find new places to go and see and explore. I'm constantly looking for new places to see and sadly covid has caused a lot of plans to be cancelled this year for us. I'm looking forward to next year's travel plans- so far Napa, Asheville, New Orleans, & Jamaica are on the books!

6. Rank your Taylor Swift albums
Okay these are hard too haha, but without over thinking it- Red, Reputation,Speak Now, Lover, Folklore, 1898, Fearless & Taylor Swift. There's really no album I dislike though! I was so sad to not get to see her concert this year, so I'm excited for the new dates to be announced for next year!

7. If you could give your 15 year old self advice, what would it be?
If I could give my 15 year old self advice, I would say stop trying to please everyone and just do you. I tried so many things to fit in- extra curriculars, clubs, clothing styles, etc and I realized when I graduated that I had no real sense of self because I was always so focused on what everyone else was doing (Spoiler alert- still working on overcoming this!) I wish I would have allowed myself to be a little more selfish and figure out what I really cared about back then!

8. Did you ever imagine you would be where you are at five years ago??
I definitely had no clue I would be where I am now- but I'm so thankful to be here. Life has made me extremely adaptable because it's just been nonstop change. 5 years ago, I thought I was happy and looking back now I laugh at that thought. Everything worked out exactly how it was meant to though and I wouldn't have done anything differently.Your fine I need to eat lol

9. Where do you see yourself in five years?
In 5 years, I don't see too much changing! I want to continue to advance my career, however that looks. My fiance and I just bought a house and get married next year- so we will still be there and hopefully have a couple of babies running around by then if that's the plan! We want to keep traveling, and investing in real estate and just living the best lives we possibly can for ourself, our pups and future kiddos.

10. If you could give any advice to someone wanting to chase their dreams, what would it be?
Don't stop chasing your dreams no matter how many times you fail, or what other people say. I have a personal goal I'm still working toward and I have let myself make so many excuses on why I haven't gone for it- don't do that! Let your dreams drive your daily life and that's when results and true happiness comes.

Thank you so much Chelsa, for letting me interview you. Thankful we have been friends for as long we have.... Keep thriving.... You are doing amazing! I Hope everything enjoyed this blog, please do me a favor and share it...... Also do not forget I also have a podcast called Color Me Mental.... It is on Anchor and Spotify, thank you all for supporting me!!!!!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

What does the world outside the library look like?

Can I read this entire book tonight?

I should have gone to class more often.

Did the professor even teach this?

What is the lowest grade I can get on this exam and still pass the class?

Should I just drop out of school now?

Finals are ruining Christmas.

Just wrote three sentences so time for a break.

Need. More. Coffee.

What is sleep?

I'm too stupid for college.

Brain hurts.

Time for a Facebook Break.

I think I'm dying.

When will I ever need this information in the real world?

I can't read any of my notes.

I need my mom.

When was the last time I showered?

I need study snacks.

The struggle is so real right now.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

1. I'm so tired. I need a nap. Maybe I can sleep with my eyes open in class? Or pretend I'm not napping?

2. We have a test today? Why didn't anyone tell me? Did I know this?!

3. Can I quit school yet? It's only October, and I need a vacation.

4. The struggle is so real.

5. I'm so broke. SOS.

6. Stressed? Eat everything you own in your pantry and stuff your face with all your feelings.

7. "Did we have anything due in class today? Homework? Quiz? Test?" "Not that I know of..."

8. I need food. Where is the closest place to get food? I need it stat.

9. This is the longest day of my life. I need a drink, or two, or three.

10. Sleep? What is sleep? What a foreign concept.

11. When someone suggests going and studying in the library, let alone studying in general.

12. When the cafeteria or student center is packed and you can't find a seat anywhere so you literally have to sit in an abandoned corner.

13. When you see someone you used to hook up with. They see you, and approach you; so you have to pretend like everything is normal.

14. When you get your exam and realize you didn't study as much as you should have.

15. When you crush it on an exam or paper that you totally bullshitted.

16. I need a grande, extra strong coffee to get me through today.

17. When the professor announces you have a project due the following week with no instruction on what it's on and how to do it.

18. Is it Friday yet? Where's the weekend when you need it most?

19. It's freezing in here. I feel like I'm sitting in an igloo. I should have brought a jacket or worn long pants.

20. Did I remember my book? Damn, I forgot the book, and of course I need it for that quiz in class.

21. I would pay a million dollars to not go to class today; or actually never again.

22. I need a hoverboard to ride to class. Maybe then I wouldn't be running 15 minutes late to class every day.

23. Oh she/he's cute! I wonder if they're single. Who are they texting? They're BF/GF? I wonder if they think I'm cute. Could they be a potential new bae?

24. Why is there never any parking? I pay thousands of dollars a year for one parking spot to be open.

25. When it feels like you've been in class for an hour and you look at your phone and it has only been five minutes (I'm crying on the inside).

26. When the professor asks if there are any more questions at the end of class and someone raises their hand.
