Exciting
Today Rihanna announced the addition of J.Cole to her tour this summer! I'm so excited and definitely going to take a trip to Sunrise or ATL to see them.
Spring football practice started today and clearly that means is football season is slowly getting closer :) Okay, I know it's months and months away, but I'm excited. I won't be here for the spring game... which is sad BUT I will be in PCB soakin up the sun and drinkin' the weekend away in 17 days!
One month from today I will be DONE with my undergrad days in college. My mentality has changed and I cannot wait to be done. All that stands in my way is 1 speech, 1 paper, and 4 tests.
Counting down.... can't wait for a summer without schoolwork!
I hope everyone enjoys their last month of this school year! I know I'm making the most of it.
XOXO, E

FEMME FATALE
Britney's new album is finally here!!!
The new dance album has once again shown it really is Britney, bitch! All the songs are so amazing and have that classic Britney flavor. She's such an amazingly beautiful betch!!!!!
Some of my favorites:
* Till the World Ends
* Inside Out
* Don't Keep Me Waiting
* Seal it with a Kiss
* Selfish
* Gasoline
*I Wanna Go
If Adele and Britney had a tour together it would literally make my year! Ahhhhhh so much talent
Everyone, listen to the new album.. OR ELSE!
XOXO, A

Schools Out for the Summer...
Ok, so maybe it's not out yet.. but it will be in 31 DAYS!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I CANNOT wait for the semester to be over. I'm definitely feeling the out with the old and in with the new mentality when it comes to this semester.
Fall '11 is going to be amazing, I can already tell. But, summer is definitely going to be a much needed break from the usual crap that is the school year.
Hope you're all as excited as I am!
XOXO, A
P.S. anyone been gearing up those bikini bods??? Lol

It's Always Nice to Know You're not Alone
This week starts the final countdown until Relay for Life here at FSU. As most of my friends know, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was in the seventh grade. She fought and beat the breast cancer and then later was diagnosed with a skin cancer. Thankfully, she also fought and beat that. My mother is one of the strongest people I know and I hope that if I were to ever be faced with something as serious and life-threatening as she was, I would be able to be as strong as she has been and continues to be.
Today during chapter, it was inspiring to hear and see how many people have been faced with similar situations I have been faced with. It is touching to know there are other people close to you who have been through similar battles. Everyone says that cancer affects everybody somehow but I don't know how many people realize how true that statement is. Think about it... even if your life hasn't been directly changed by someone close to you having it, chances are your best friend or your boyfriend or girlfriend or your roommate or your good friend was. Know the facts. Know that cancer is a sensitive subject that everyone should be aware of. Understand that it's random and happens to all kinds of people of every race, in every city, state, and country, to people of every social class. Cancer knows no boundaries. Anyone can have it and it can change anyone's life in an instant.
If you're someone at Florida State reading this, I hope that you'll wear purple this week to show your support for those donating and putting in time to funding any research and ultimately a cure, to show your support for those who have lost someone, for those who are honoring someone, and to honor someone yourself - someone who may be fighting the battle now, someone who may have survived their fight, or someone who may have lost their battle.
If you're not at Florida State reading this, I hope you will make an effort to become more aware about the facts of cancer and help spread awareness about this life-altering disease.
To donate please visit this website: Relay at FSU
And if you want to donate personally to me: Donate to Erika
We all Relay for our own reasons. Mine is my mom.

Stress
Why can't the things you want in life the most be easy? I'm so sick and tired of people saying, "the harder something is the more worthwhile it makes it". Please spare me the Dr. Phil words of wisdom. Busting your butt and having no life in hopes to accomplish something in the foreseeable future sucks.
It is nice to have a close group of friends who are there to support you and to bring a laugh when times get hard. To those of you who have been there, you're awesome! <3
XOXO, A

Get In the Kitchen!
Tonight for dinner, Kathryn and I decided to make one of our favorite meals, shrimp pizza! Whenever I tell people about it, they usually look at me like I'm crazy and/or disgusting. To all the naysayers out there, I'm going to show you how amazing this pizza really is!! And if seafood isn't your thing, well then make up your own pizza and share your recipe.
Shrimp Pizza
* Start by preheating your oven at 450 degrees. If you have a pizza stone, put it in while the oven's preheating so it gets nice and hot. (If you don't have one, a cookie sheet also works)
Ingredients
* One Publix premade pizza dough (you can find it in the bakery)
* 1/2 pound of shrimp
* Spinach (or arugula if you like. If not you can skip this)
* 1/2 of a decent sized yellow onion
* 2 cloves of garlic
* Mozzarella cheese (eye ball it)
* Provolone cheese (eye ball it)
* In a sautee pan, put some olive oil and onions in at a medium high heat
* Once those become translucent, put in shrimp and chopped up garlic.
* After, put some salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried oregano
*When that's finished roll out the pizza dough.
*Put the spinach down, and then put the shrimp mixture on top
*Put as much cheese as you like and then stick it in the oven.
* Keep an eye out on it, the pizza usually cooks around 5 to 8 minutes depending on the oven
Hope you try it out! It's so yummy!
