I'm at home. I used to go to USC....hope you aren't one of those UCLA people (lol jk...i'm sure you've heard of the rivalry if you don't participate in it)

I am not a Bruin, but I am an Anteater. It's all about UCI. Although some people say all of the UC's are like brothers and should support each other, I always go for USC.

Good choice!

i am going to be majoring in elementary education with a special interest in spanish and special education . i have been putting off doing apps for scolarships because they are so much work. i might get around to some ....

hello rachel04! welcome to the forum!

Elementary education seems like a cool major. I guess you can expect to study a combination of child development and psychology. I am actually thinking about getting a minor in psych since I found the intro class so interesting. It seems like you are leaning towards doing something with children, maybe a teacher?

By the way, welcome Rachel. Turning 21 is going to be a big day!

I know I am so excited!! I hope to lose at least 10 lbs by then. I turn 21 in April, can't wait!! lol

You should have no problem losing 10 lbs by April. Then you can legally drink and won't have X's on your hands!

lol that is for sure! I went to the grocery store today and bought all the food I was going to need for awhile so now I am ready to start full force tomorrow!

That's good you went grocery shopping. When I first started, I wondered if there were any special low carb stores and found one that was a short drive away. I’ve never actually gone, but if I want low carb products I know where to get them. As for normal shopping, I always make sure to get chicken, meats, eggs, and water. For snacks, I suggest you get some Breyer’s carb smart ice-cream bars. Tastes like a crunch ice cream bar and it’s only 5 net carbs. Good luck on getting started.
