What Cha Really Really Want

What else can be added to the Spice Girls empire?  Back in the day, I had all the CDs, music videos, dolls, Spice World, pencils, notebooks, and who knows what else!  And a few years ago, when the girls did a U.S. reunion tour, most of the 15-20 year olds in the country turned back into preteen crazed fans.  All I wanted was to go to the concert, which would be my 5th time seeing them.  I know, I was a complete fangirl :-P.  But then it turned out that they would be coming to D.C. a few weeks after I had ankle reconstruction surgery, so I would still be on crutches and painkillers.  So, no go.  I actually felt pain looking at my friends' Facebook pictures and hearing their accounts of it the next day.  I thought I was more mature than that, but I guess a blast from the past can do that to you.

I'm back at home for the other weekend, and the other night my dad was telling me that he heard that a musical is being made out of one of my favorite movies, but he couldn't remember which one.  We couldn't figure it out, since most of my favorite movies were musicals first.  This morning during breakfast, someone said something about the Spice Girls.  I don't even remember what it was anymore since I've been in such an excited craze since then.  I was skeptical at first, because sometimes he makes up crap for fun just to get us excited.

But after some time on Google, I believe him!  Mel B has been talking to several publications about the plans for a musical.  I haven't been able to get many details, but this has still made my day!  Apparently, Simon Fuller and the producer of Mamma Mia got the wheels rolling.

It's going to be awhile until the musical hits the stage; in various articles I've seen 2-3 years.  And unfortunately, it is being launched in the West End.  It didn't even occur to me that it would end up in England, but that does make the most sense.  I'm really hoping it comes to the U.S.!

Five for Friday: Snow Day Movies

I love lists.I make lists about everything...even when it's completely unneccessary or fruitless. I love organization, but practice procrastination. Most of the time, my lists don't get completely finished and end up being a reminder of how lazy I am. But, as I say in this UDress article, having tangible reminders of your shortcomings that you consistently see can light a fire under your ass.

Every Friday, I will end the week off with a list for you...no, I'm not going to give you a bunch of boring things to do. These lists will be fun.

Given the weather predictions for the weekend (although both the Newark and Baltimore areas have horrible forecasts...Maryland, Delaware, and parts of Pennsylvania seem to be in this weather bubble where normal rules don't apply :P), my mind has been on my favorite snow day activity: watching movies.

Some movies are perfect for snow days, and some just don't work. When you're stuck inside, cozy, vegging with your family or friends, longer movies are good. A lot of great movies don't get watched often because of the time it takes to get through them. Either you don't have the time or you don't have the patience to sit in front of the same characters for three or four hours. But it's a whole different story when you have a fire, hot chocolate and other foods that are bad for your figure, and nothing else to do!

Even if you've seen these movies before, and even if you love them already, give them a try the next time you're snowed in...

Start Your Year with a New Style!

Hello, all! I'm always really optimistic about New Years resolutions...in fact, I wrote an article for my school's fashion magazine (that's right, we're so cool that we publish a fashion magazine!) giving my fellow Blue Hens some tips for keeping their New Years resolutions. Now that January is almost over, people are starting to lose momentum and excitement and the progress of their resolutions slow down, and eventually stop. I'm a victim of this too, I am definitely no expert! But I always try hard, and even if I break a resolution I will most likely pick it up for at least a few more weeks randomly in the year.

The contents of the article are things that I am going to tell myself every day! I made a resolution to exercise more, and the momentum got me to work out at least 3 times a week all of January. Now that its getting later in the year, I'm not as excited about working out, but I'm used to it. My routine has become wear sweats with gym clothes underneath them to class and work (I only work in a computer lab at my school's admissions office) and then go straight to the gym. I go to class and work everyday, and now it seems natural to head over to the gym afterwards.

I'd love to find out some people's resolutions. I plan on updating on my progress throughout the year, seeing as that can actually increase progress (see the article). Why don't you keep me updated too?

Now what's so bad about a night on the couch?

I came across an article on one of my favorite blogs while I was at work yesterday, and got so happy to find out that I'm not the only one that is sometimes too tired to want anything more than a night on the couch.

Another reason why I love Gala!

I have been extremely behind on my spending hours and hours exploring Gala Darling’s blog, iCiNG. So it’s a good thing the online database at work is down again. Thank goodness I caught up! This article is the kind of thing I want to print out and post on my refridgerator door!

And another one comes into the mix...

Once again, I have opened up a new blogging account. I don’t know what it is about me…but I always need to “start fresh,” even though it doesn’t really have an effect. When I was younger, I started a new journal every few months. I would want to write in it regularly, and if I broke the pattern, instead of fixing it, I would just start over. Maybe the new set of blank pages would start up a new life, where I did journal every day. But I doubt I thought about it that much back then.

Hey cutie co-eds!

Welcome to College Sprinkles!!! A blog for anything you want, anything you need. I will write about fashion, beauty, friends, family, sex and relationships, and anything else that seems to be a big topic among college women.

What I love about blogs is the ability for interaction. I may be a girl genius, but I can't read minds (yet!). I would appreciate and questions and comments you ladies have on writing topics, or anything and everything else.

I've been blogging for years, and am really excited to take this one seriously and practice what I'm studying in school: journalism and online techie-nerd stuff hehe.

Stay tuned!
