Day 8 and 9 of my #Octoberbloggingchallenge OOTD and Throwback Tuesday




My ootd yesterday. I wore: a purple short sleeved sweater with slacks and white shoes.


I wore the bracelets that hubs bought me. I'm also wore my college ring from my alma mater.  Right now, I'm experiencing water weight and this ring fits me best.

I had a successful meeting with The TCC Connection yesterday. I enjoyed meeting everyone and donated to their fundraiser for NABJ. (National Association of Black Journalists). I am looking forward to this coming semester and all it brings. I sincerely hope that comes with a position as Office Manager. Their faculty advisor seemed interested in having me on board for the job!

Day 9:

Throwback Tuesday

I racked my brain to think of what to say. My life has changed so much since last year. I am back in school and preparing to re enter the work force. I am traveling around town on my own. I am more confident in myself and my abilities, despite what anyone says.

Most importantly, I am unafraid. I've been afraid in the past and I'm not afraid anymore. No matter how far I go, at least I tried and I am proud of that.

Finish strong!

We're down to the last few weeks folks! I have to finish my editorial on the college admissions scandal this weekend and this month will be attending a religious service for intercultural communication. On the 18th, I will be attending the Campus Activities Board for student leadership recognition and then a gala for winning a scholarship! This has been a challenging semester with lots of illness and pain, but I can see the light. I will have three weeks off until my summer classes start. I am taking Social Media Marketing and Honors TCC Connection. My job requires all students working there to enroll in a class each semester to advance their learning. In the fall, I am taking Principles of Advertising, Honors TCC Connection, Digital Photography, and Japanese I. Wish me luck! Gabrielle

Why going back to work was the best thing I could have done

I was a stay at home wife and furmom for the better part of a decade. I enjoyed it, but it got to where I needed more. I needed challenges and interaction from other people. I went back to college at Tulsa Community College last fall and aced my class. I applied and started working at The TCC Connection in December 17th. It has been a great experience for me and I'm loving meeting new people. I love the interaction with my coworkers and the camaradie. I also enjoy being involved in campus activities and being a part of the campus activities board. But mostly, I've enjoyed being a part of a community again. I enjoy being busy and having exciting new challenges everyday. It's days like today where I am at home ill that makes me appreciate my new life. I enjoyed my old life, but I have a great new one and I couldn't be happier.

One month in...

Yesterday I hit a milestone. It has been one month since I started working at The TCC Connection. I must say, it has been a learning experience. I love having a job that I come to work excited about. So many don't have that luxury. I love that where I work is an award winning newspaper and that many of the staff have won awards. It's rewarding to think that I have an opportunity to do the same. Working at The TCC Connection affords me so many opportunities I never would have had in just any job. I was able to attend a state regents education board meeting yesterday which was an interesting experience. I never would have had that opportunity if I didn't work with the college newspaper. Working at The TCC Connection is easily the best decision I ever made in recent years and I'm looking forward to all the great opportunities ahead.
