Snapshot

The SFA Alumni Association regularly does a snapshot of some Faculty or Staff member's office and then they get to tell you about their office. It ends up really capturing the essence of that person. Here's what you'll find in my office at any given point:

• At least one mug and one cup- I'm always drinking either hot tea or water
• At least 3 pairs of shoes- a pair of sandals for any work I'm doing in/on/around the pool, a pair of tennis shoes in case I need to do some heavy lifting/moving/handyman work, and a pair of dress(y) shoes
• An extra phone charger- it took my parents almost 12 hours to get a hold of me after they found out my brother had died. It's one of the few small grief things I have, but I MUST have my phone on and with me at all times. Serious nerves happen if I don't.
• Snackage- This girl loves to eat! Currently, my snack drawer contains Red Bull, Velveeta Instant Mac, and Trader Joe's nuts
• Tea- I have a stash of loose and bagged tea. If you need some, just drop by! Tea is my happy place. It calms me when I'm most stressed.
• Swim Suit / towel / goggles- Life Aquatics. 'Nough Said.
• Pictures- I have a trio right now: One of my parents, one of my sister, and one of my brother
• Name Tags- I have my name tag from every conference I've been to since my Sophomore year of college hanging together. It's something a few of my mentors did. I can look at the name tags and be reminded of past fun and of how far I've come since that first NIRSA conference I went to.

I'm noticing a theme. Apparently my life revolves around food, family, and fitness.
