The Blogger 411 - Get to Know Me!

Since I am fairly new to regularly blogging, I thought this would be a great introduction and a way to meet some others in the blogging world!!


1. How long have you been blogging? And what got you started on blogging? Has your blog changed?
I started this blog exactly a year ago this month! I didn't start regularly blogging until the beginning of this summer when I had some free time and could keep up with it! I guess I am still learning the ins and outs of blogging (if you have any tips--send them my way!). In terms of my blog changing, the only thing I have done is change my layout twice.

2. Did you go to college? If so where, and what did you study?
I'm currently a Senior (!!!) at Shippensburg University in Central PA. I am studying Human Resource Management and Finance.



3. Where have you traveled?
Sadly I have not been many places. I don't even have a passport. I have traveled to California, Las Vegas, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. I've also been to the states in my general area like Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Delaware, etc. I do hope to go on a graduation trip somewhere tropical with some friends from school though! 

4. If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would buy?
The first thing? Hmm this is rather difficult. I'd probably buy a place to start my own business, a beautiful house or an awesome vacation for all my friends and family!

5. What are your 3 biggest pet peeves?
1. Terrible grammar
2. The leftover paper after you rip off a page in the rings of notebooks!!!
3. People who cheat the system (AKA Those who don't need to be on welfare, kids who get money from their rich parents, etc)

6. What is your favorite movie?
Just one?! I can't pick just one! I love Happy Gilmore, Grandma's Boy, The Harry Potter movies, Because I Said So, Friends with Benefits and Crazy, Stupid Love

7. What is your drink of choice; wine, beer, or liquor. Or Water, Soda, Tea?
Wine. Hands down. I wanna be a wine connoisseur. Non-alcoholic drink? I love water and iced tea!

8. What is something you enjoy to do when you have me time?
<3 me some me time. I like to put headphones in and block out the world while I read other blogs, browse the internet, go on Pinterest and catch up with the social world. I also love to work out, take a nice bubble bath, clean the house or bake something!

9. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be?
I think I'm gonna have to go with Target on this one. I can buy everything!!!

10. Share with us an embarrassing moment of your past? Or present.
 I don't usually get too embarrassed. I laugh everything off most of the time or just get sad about certain situations. But, when I broke up with my boyfriend from HS I left and got in my car to leave. I just saw his Mom only seconds before getting in my car and I went to text my friend something bad about the breakup/him and instead I texted his Mom. Oops.

11. What day would you love to relive again?
I've been thinking about this for a while now. Did I mention I'm terrible at spot on answers like these? I can always think of an answer until I'm directly asked the question. My senior year of high school I won the business department award (as a surprise) in front of all my classmates, teachers and parents and friends. That was definitely a moment I'll remember forever and the one I can think of right now for this question.

12. If your life was turned into a movie... what actor would play you?
I'm hoping Lauren Graham. I'm not as witty as her, but we both talk extremely fast and live on coffee.

13. What are the jobs you had in high school/college/the early years?
In high school I worked at a local restaurant as a server for 3 years. I also was a busser at Red Robin. The early years of college I worked as a secretary in the Geography and Earth Science department. I now currently work at Volvo Construction Equipment in the Quality Department.

14. Show us a picture from high school or college.

Oh high school. I believe this was preparations for Junior Year Homecoming

15. If you could travel anywhere in the world, all expenses paid, where would you go?
Every single place in Europe! or New Zealand.

16. Show us the most current picture of you or you and your family.

On the right

17. Where do you see your life 5 years from now?I hope to be settled into my job and working on moving up. Or entering the wedding planner business. I also hope to be married and purchase my first home with my husband, preferably in Virginia. I hope I have a new car by this time too! :) I also hope to be close to my family and settle into a routine with friends nearby. I also hope to be happy and healthy as well as the rest of my family and friends!

I'd love to get to know some more bloggers and hope to meet some others through this link up :)
Have a happy Tuesday, ya'll!
