☀ Iced Coffee ☀

Good Morning! If you read an earlier post I expressed my love for coffee! Now that summer is in full gear it seems like a hot cup of Joe makes me hotter! To have a constant supply on hand and save a few bucks I learned how to make iced coffee for the summer! It's really easy and it last all week!

Enjoy!




 
 
Ingredients
10 cups water
1/4 cup Sugar in the Raw
 
Use kettle to boil water. Pour water in large pitcher, mix coffee until well blended. Add cream and sugar to coffee and chill in fridge. When ready to serve add ice cubes to your cup and you're ready to face the day!
 
 
**I prefer instant coffee because it's quick to make but feel free to brew your coffee!

Weekend In Review

I hope you all had a wonderful fathers day weekend! Mine was a packed one. After my MCAT on Friday my parents surprised me by booking a room at the Gaylord National Resort in Washington, DC! I felt like a little princess! Saturday morning we continued our trip to the InterContinental Hotel New York Barclay. Ross University School of Medicine was hosting a meet and greet with future students and current faculty. This was a great opportunity of make new friends. I saw a childhood church friend that I had not seen in over 18 years, she is attending Ross in the Fall as well! We then visited Time Square, it was amazing! We got back on the road to make it to church Sunday morning! The guest minister was Dr. Jeremiah Wright; he did a wonderful job encouraging the young men in the church! Give all glory and honor to God, I am living my dream.

Have a wonderful week, stay encouraged!

Tips: 3 Days Before the MCAT


This morning I woke up and panicked. Just the thought of taking the MCAT can be terrifying. However, after quiet reflection and thanking God for waking me up this morning I collected my thoughts and planned my day accordingly like normal. 

Below are just a few tips to help you out before that big day!

1. Go to the gym
2. Get a massage, manicure/pedicure
3. Take a walk at your local park or beach
4. Eat healthy, remember to take a daily multivitamin
5. Take a nice long bubble bath
6. Limit your work hours if you can
7. Build your confidence, that's half the battle! Watch motivational YouTube videos
8. Don't isolate yourself. Spend time with family and friends, they want to support you!
9. Don't beat yourself up, you know the material, stop telling yourself you're not prepared!
10. Have Faith. Just realize you are where you are because of a reason and whatever the outcome everything will work out

First Visit to the Pool

After church today my sister and I headed to the pool! At first the water was freezing cold but within minutes it was warm. Visiting the pool today brought back so many wonderful memories of last summer. I met a wonderful group of students from Slovakia who were here for the summer as lifegaurds. Learning about their country and culture was amazing. By the end of the summer I could speak small sentences in Slovak! It was definitely unforgettable. 

Have a great week!
