About Me

Hi I am Brielle and welcome to my blog! I am a sophomore at Rutgers University studying math and then education. Purple and teal are my favorite colors aka why my blog is bursting in this color scheme. A fun fact about me includes I am a foodie at heart, my dream is to travel cross country going to all the places "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" has visited. While I love food, especially peanut butter, I also love physical activity. My blog is going to allow you to follow me during my day, which always ends with me taking over 10,000 steps a day. I try to walk every where, I go to the gym every day, and am always on the move. A lot of people call me a "go getter". I literally never stop talking about either food, the gym, my boyfriend, or my recent trip I took to Greece over the summer. I was fortunate enough to study abroad for two weeks with the Lifestyle of the Mediterranean program offered through the Kinesiology and Health Department. I spent two weeks in Greece going to places such as Athens, Nafplio, and islands such as Spetses. During my trip we focused on the importance of physical activity, stress manage, and a healthy diet. My days included eating, going to the beach, eating, hiking, learning about historical sites, embracing the culture, and more eating. My favorite thing we did there was going to dance lessons and learning traditional Greek dance. I was enjoyed learning about their diet, one thing I found really interesting was that feta cheese is different there than it is in America. This trip is something I talk about often because it is a major aspect in my life, it was the first time I went outside of the country, and I was alone until I got there and met other students. When I first came to Rutgers I told myself I would never study abroad, and that obviously changed. When I came here I had different mindsets, different goals, and different habits. This trip changed my life but I have Rutgers to thank for it. I look very forward to the next year to see whats to come, I have no idea where I will be a year from now, or even tomorrow. All I know is that I have to take it one day at a time, 10,000 steps at a time.
