It's Official!!

As of Thursday, I've heard from all the colleges I applied to! I didn't get any rejection letters [just deferred to spring semester at UC Berkeley] which made me really happy because it was like a validation of all my hard work these past four years. But, before I even heard from the last two schools on Thursday I knew where I was going.

I'm officially a UCLA Bruin!!!! To say I'm excited is seriously an understatement. I know I'm going to love college, and being at a gorgeous campus with a college town and amazing weather just makes it that much better.

To celebrate, last night my family was going to go out to dinner - but then I had the brilliant idea of hitting up Whole Foods for dinner instead! I was definitely one happy camper.

I loaded up my salad with a few new goodies and it was delicious.

• romaine lettuce
• spinach
• carrots
• onions
• chickpeas
• a TON of mushrooms <3
• cucumbers
• shredded cheese
• basil pesto tofu [top right]
• feta & walnut kale salad [bottom right]
• hummus

We also stopped at Target for a little fun food shopping [that's my idea of a fun Friday night - I'm such a weirdo!  ]

some of the loot (from both Target and WF):

both smooth and crunchy barney butter (i think i died and went to heaven!!). i also picked up a packet of amazing grass to try & my usual protein powder. 

thin mint ice cream!!

bendy straws (love them!!), pop chips, peanut butter cheerios, vanilla chobani, Luna protein bars, and dry roasted almonds

and as a treat i got 2 sobe life waters and 2 vitamin waters! 

Then we came home, ate Thin Mint ice cream (this. is. amazing. don't care that it's unnatural, it's soooo good! and we were celebrating!) and watched Cupcake Wars. It was an awesome night! 

This morning I woke up and had breakfast [tortilla with barney butter and strawberries] and proceeded to get straight to work on my anatomy lab paper. 

Someone got quite excited about my paper and wanted to be a part of it! Then, she realized it was pretty boring and decided her time was better spent getting some beauty sleep. 

After I finished my paper, I headed to the gym for the new release of BodyCombat 51. Can I just say that this release is a doozy! It was SO much fun, though - I left sweaty and exhausted, but happy!

Lunch today was seriously ugly. As most of my ugly creations go, though, it was yummy! I just scrambled some eggs and chopped spinach, heated up some of my favorite refried beans from TJs with laughing cow, and topped it all with a scoop of salsa. 

To satisfy my sweet tooth I had a graham cracker with the crunchy barney butter and MAN the crunchy version so good! I've never actually bought a jar of crunchy nut butter since I'm a smooth lovin' gal, but this jar may have just changed my mind. 

Now I'm catching up on blogs and getting a little homework done before my long shift at work tonight. 
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, guys! 
nut butter: crunchy or creamy?
