Ayooo party people. It’s Wednesday! Halfway through the week… I’m pretty thankful that the days seem to be flying by! While this year is a bit academically easier (no more physics/ochem/bio/labs at one time), I feel like I’m constantly running around and juggling to balance school/friends/the blog/and my new job.
Anywhoooo, one thing that makes Wednesday a little more fun are all the What I Ate Wednesday posts by my fellow bloggers. Here are some of my eats:
My alarm rudely woke me up at 6:40 in the morning and I stumbled to the bathroom and took of some smeary eyeliner from last night (oops), put some makeup/clothes on, and made my way downstairs to get my boots on and went off to meet Kyle at one of our local coffee shops. They were having a special for $0.50 lattes (OMG!), so we knew we needed to fuel up with some espresso to fuel us through our 8 ams. I got an [unpictured] medium one with an extra shot of espresso for a bit of a kick.
After a loooong molecular genetics class, I grabbed a brown sugar crumble oatmeal from Jamba Juice and spent some time working out practice problems for said genetics class. An hour later, I was off to a free hour-long tutoring session. Lunch followed quickly after and consisted of a chicken salad with sweet onion dressing from Subway.
I had 15 minutes to eat before I had to bike over to my psych class. I swear all my classes are on opposite ends of campus, so I’m biking 25-40 minutes each day. At least I’m getting my workouts in! After getting back home from psych, I took a much needed nap to get some rest in while I waited for the lighting got a bit better to take photos of one of my new favorite recipes- Chocolate Chip Cookie Baked Oatmeal. YOU GUYS. It’s to die for! Recipe will be coming soon .
Besides stealing a few bites between shots, I snacked on a delicious plum from the Farmer’s Market while editing the photos.
An hour or so later, Kyle brought over some asian-style salmon, rice, and salad for dinner before we drove off to the library for a hot date. Before leaving, we picked up another latte from the same coffeeshop. It almost felt like a crime not to since they were 50 CENTS EACH. I REPEAT. 50 CENTS!!! If you can’t tell, I was just a little excited about it.
So there ya have it! I’m currently typing this up in the library as a way to take a break from studying. I’ll probably have some sort of sweet treat before bedtime to round out the night.
Hope you had some wonderful eats as well! Stay tuned for that chocolate chip cookie dough baked oatmeal recipe!

Things I don’t miss about school: The constant nagging feeling that I have something I should be working on. Your making time to eat real food, that’s a step up from my college experience!
Christine Skari says
Tell me about it! It’s hard never feeling like you can fully relax!
Erin @ The Almond Eater says
.50 lattes?!!! I’m major jealous. Although, Starbucks did forget my drink yesterday so they gave me a “drinks on us” coupon for next time haha sort of almost the same thing, right?
Christine Skari says
Hmmm I guess that counts haha! I would take a free drink from them anytime ;).

That salmon looks like perfection. And I haven’t crave Subway in a long time, but suddenly I am!
Christine Skari says
Salmon is Kyle’s specialty, so it always comes out super tender and delicious! Mhm :).
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
Can you believe that I have never ordered a salad from Subway?? Yours looks SO good that I might have to start doing that!
