Commercials advertise restaurants with platters of eye appealing, mouth watering food especially their dinner rolls and biscuits. In most places where I’ve dined the bread is normally served first. The commercials have been misleading in many cases. When you pick up a biscuit should it crumble to pieces? Uh NO! Should it taste like cake batter? Yuck! Should it look unappetizing? No way! There’s no question when it comes to Red Lobster’s biscuits. I absolutely love to eat there, because of their delicious biscuits. They have a wonderful taste. The biscuits are both fluffy and buttery. I cannot guess the seasoning they use, but it is not too overwhelming to my taste buds. What makes the taste better is the smell. Whenever I need a wonderful treat, I order a side of biscuits to satisfy my appetite. The texture of the biscuits are delightful and appealing. In most seafood restaurants you get an entrée of  buttery, rough textured garlic bread sticks or biscuits. Red Lobster gives you biscuits that are never to flakey. They are just right and this is simply quality. They are better than your normally made “out the box” biscuits. Their biscuits look, feel, smell, and taste exceptional. Any food critic would absolutely love these whether for a snack or for dinner. I enjoy eating the biscuits because they excite my taste buds. I love Red Lobster’s delicious biscuits.

Yesterday was the rapping up of career week. I attended the successful interviewing seminar. It was very helpful and needed to say the least. You only have one time to make a good impression! Making sure that I am prepared for a successful interview is very important when trying gain a job in this economy. At the successful interviewing workshop, I learned a lot of things that I need to take into consideration before I actually attend the interview. Before attending an interview, being prepared and confident will always motivate and give me the energy I need to continue on. Moreover, doing your homework in advance is most crucial. Firstly, I learned that I should always research the company that I am trying to work for. It’s always smart to increase your knowledge of a company and be prepared if the employer asks about what you know about their company. Filling out an application is important, too. A lot of people think that a resume is the application but the application process is important as well. This workshop was very helpful and now I am able to better asses myself before going into an interview. I know, essentially, that the proper preparation obviously equals success in any area. Successful interviewing skills are very essential in the field that I am going into. I want to make sure that I follow all the steps that are needed in order to leave a wonderful impression whether I receive the position that I am interviewing for or not.

We all know that this is February. This is the month of Valentine’s day. It is crucial that we not only show love just on that specific day, but every day. The amount of love and compassion that Jesus shows to us daily should be enough to make us strive to be like Him and do the same. There are multiple ways for us to show love to our classmates, friends and teachers as we go throughout the day. Opening up a door, a smile, and even being attentive and showing respect to our professors are all ways that we can practice and show love. Romans 13:8 says; “Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.” If Christ can think enough of us to love us despite ourselves, we should make it our obligation to do the same. John 3:16 says; “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. The reality of it all is that God loves us and it’s not because of anything that we’ve done but He loves us unconditionally. In our effort to be more like Him we should try and love our neighbor unconditionally and be excepting of everyone.

So show some love today, tomorrow, always, and forever!!! =)

This is career week! It’s a week where SAU students are able to attend workshops that will be helpful to their overall success in the business world. I attended the workshop about learning how to properly put together my resume, write a cover letter and letter writing. I am glad that I attended that workshop because there were a lot of helpful tips that I gained. Discussed were the different types of resumes and its various functions. The most important thing that I grasped from the workshop was that your resume will get you an interview and the interview is what gets you the job. Knowing proper resume headings, desirable characteristics to put on it and essential components to include are all very crucial in making sure that your resume is nice, clear, concise and better yet professional. The list of “Do’s and Don’ts” help me to have a better understanding of what employers are looking for when they view a resume. I enjoyed it and jotted down notes to pull out while putting together my resume. There are many other workshops from, finding your vocational fit, 90 second pitch, successful interviewing and many other workshops that will be available to SAU students. I can’t wait to attend another one and jot down tips for success!!

Chapel has officially started back up again. I had the most wonderful feeling as I left my morning class and observed my friends and other students walking briskly to the Free Methodist Church to get ready for chapel. As I stood in line to get my card swiped for attendance, I noticed how packed the chapel was. It seems like every semester we get more new faces which is awesome. It was so hard to find a seat at first. The row I normally sit in was already taken so, I ran into some friends and grabbed a seat quickly. As Ron made announcements about the visitors that were in chapel, everyone was so attentive. After, the lights were dimmed and chapel band took over with praise and worship.  It was so amazing to see everyone engaged in the art of corporate worship, lifting their hands unto Christ and singing along. Then President and Mrs. Webb were the speakers for the first chapel of the spring semester. It was so nice to see that President Webb was back on his feet and feeling well. God is Good! He and his wife are such awesome people and I, just like my peers, were glad that they were able to grace us with their presence in sharing the Word of God with us this morning.

Well, well, well ….We have finally arrived at a new semester. This semester I am really excited because I am setting new expectations for myself. It is so crazy how fast this year has actually been going. I’m pretty sure that many of my colleagues would agree and say that fall semester just flew by. I am doing well so far managing the busy schedule that I have and remembering that when it gets rough to just continue to stay strong and rely on Christ. Before this semester began last week, I could feel myself growing in my intellect as well as my faith. I am pumped up and ready to put my best foot forward in every class. Every morning I continue to encourage myself and rehearse an affirmation that I learned in high school called “Today This New Day.” It goes like this…”Today this new day, I am a successful student. Overnight I use my mind and body has produced thousands of new cells to give me the greatest advantage possible. I am born a new, revitalized, and full of energy. I am rare and valuable, unique in all the universe. I am nature’s greatest miracle in action. I have unlimited potential.” It continues to go on and gives me the strength I need each day to complete what ever task that I need to for the day. I am excited about what is to come this semester.

Have a wonderful spring semester everyone!!
