College Fair @ Richard Bland Community College

So I decided to  attend the College Fair held at  my school this past week.  I didn't know what school I wanted to attend because of all the Universities that were there, but I managed to narrow my choices down to 2 schools, James Madison University and Christopher Newport News University. I chose those schools because of my major and the location. I love JMU because the school is so diverse and also offer Athletic Training as a major. I like CNU for just about the same amount of reasons but they don't offer Athletic Training as a major they offer Pre-Health as program. I was kind of iffy about it because I don't want to go to a school that doesn't offer what I'm looking for and I am stuck there for 2 semesters not having a clue.
As your're reading this you can probably see that I narrowed my school choice down too 1 school. JMU !! Yes, JMU is the perfect school for me and my major. The distance is a bit far away but that doesn't matter. I'm so glad that I was able to know what school was best for me from just attending the College Fair.

Saute` & Sizzle:

This past weekend(November 2nd)  I was invited to attend an AKA event in downtown Richmond. I didnt know what to expect because it was my first year attending the Saute & Sizzle Event. But to much surprise I had a blast. The event was for local amateur chefs to show off their cooking skills and for the attendees to taste them. They also had a private biding where the proceeds benefited local community projects and provided scholarships to deserving students. Sabrina Squire from Channel 6 News was also there as the Mistress of the Ceremony.
Some of the food that I had a chance to were curry chicken & cabbage, fiesta lime chicken & rice, wingettes & peach cobbler, haitian griot with red beans & rice, fried turkey with dressing, mini cupcakes (yummy, red velvet was my favorite), shrimp & grits, strawberry in a cloud, lasagna, beyond chocolate cake & bread pudding, smoked mac n cheese & lots of water !!!!
I had a great time at the event with my family, it was nice to just have a girls night out & enjoy the festivities.
