Now, here are five random facts about me...

1. I am pursuing a career in Pharmacy. I am attending Wingate University School of Pharmacy in August! I cannot wait to start this new chapter in my life. Pharmacy has always been something that I have been passionate about since I was little. I knew that I wanted to be in the health field but I wasn't sure exactly where.  I knew that I wanted to help people, I loved to cook, and was interested in the chemistry side of medicine. Then my mom started talking to me about a career in pharmacy. It was like all of my passions were blended together into the perfect career. I want to change the world of pharmacy. I want to be more than a face behind the counter. I want to individualize medicine and combine life style, diet, and health history into pharmacy. I know I have a lot of hard work and time to put in but I cannot wait for the next 4 years of my life :)

2. I am a Margarita Junkie. I love margaritas. It is something about that cool refreshing tart taste that just relaxes me. It reminds me of long days at the beach with friends, college nights out, and family dinners. I order a margarita at every restaurant that serves them. It is my drink of choice. It is a way of life.

3. I am a huge football fan. It doesn't help that my dad is an offensive line coach! I have been around football all my life. It just doesn't seem like a saturday without a football game. My dad says that I have the best offensive blocking form he has ever seen ;)

4. I am a mountain girl. I would rather live in the mountains than on the beach. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE THE BEACH, but I belong in that fresh crisp mountain air. My family has always been an outdoorsy family. Not the hunting and fishing type but hiking and exploring. We have been vacationing in the mountains my entire life. I think that was one of the big reasons why I chose to move to North Carolina for pharmacy school. There is just something about waking up on a mountain with no phone signal, cool breeze on the porch, and all the beautiful green trees surrounding you that just instantly relaxes me. 

5. I am addicted to trash reality tv. I think it is because I am so focused and busy during the day that when I come home to relax I just want to watch nonsense. My friends joke that Bravo is always on my TV. What can I say, I love the Real Housewives! 

I hope you have a great weekend!
