Ugh Debt, I\’ve Been There Too

I have two strong fears – debt and swimming. Yes I realize they’re both very different fears, however they both hit me really hard. With the help of A I am hoping to concur my fear of swimming. As for debt I actively work hard to make sure that I don’t have any. Do any of you have a fear of debt? If so the Nationwide Debt Reduction Services may be able to help you. When it came to college I didn’t get any scholarships or handouts. I acquired plenty of debt while I was in college. I worked for the school newspaper for spare money for eating out and adventures, but really wanted to just enjoy college without the worry of having a job. I went to classes, adventured, met amazing people and of course stayed out way too late most nights. When I graduated and had to start paying off my debt I about stroked out. $675 a month, how in the heck was I ever going to afford that? I ended up sweet talking them to dropping my payment to $375 a month, which was more manageable for myself – but in my mind I thought I would be 700 years old before I was able to pay my debt. I looked into debt reduction plans, and soon started regretting the amount of money that was spent at school. However without those incredible years I wouldn’t of found myself, met amazing people and had my life completely changed. So at that moment I decided that I was going to make it my goal to have ALL of my college debt paid off by the time I was 30. I picked up extra jobs, put every single penny I was given for birthday and Christmas gifts towards my debt, and cooked a lot of meals at home  and even made my own 100 calorie snack bags at home  Eight months before I turned 30 – I did it. I officially paid off ALL of my debt, and for the first time since I turned 18 I was 100 percent debt free and it was AMAZING. I know everyone isn’t as lucky to get things paid off, but there are Nationwide Debt Reduction Servicesthat can help you get out of the debt you’ve acquired. Debt is scary, and trust me – i\’ve been there too so never feel like your alone or that there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Coming to Detroit: School of Rock – The Musical

[this post is sponsored]


Class is in session, and we\’ll start rocking out April 10, when School of Rock – The Musical hits the Fisher Theatre.

Broadway legend Andrew Lloyd Webber’s high-octane Broadway and West End hit School of Rock – The Musical is coming to Detroit’s Fisher Theatre, April 10-22, 2018.  Tickets for School of Rock – The Musical start at $39 and are now on sale at all Ticketmaster locations, by phone at 800-982-2787 and online at http://www.broadwayindetroit.com or http://www.ticketmaster.com.

School of Rock – The Musical is based on the smash hit 2003 film of the same, featuring music from the movie, as well as an original score by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Glenn Slater, a book by Julian Fellowes, choreography by JoAnn M. Hunter and direction by Laurence Connor.
 
School of Rock – The Musical opened on Broadway to rave reviews on Sunday, December 6, 2015. This Ben Brantley New York Times ‘Critics’ Pick’ “is an inspiring jolt of energy and mad skillz,” raves Jesse Oxfeld of Entertainment Weekly. And in his four-star Critics’ Pick review, Time Out’s David Cote proclaimed, “School’s IN – forever!” School of Rock – The Musical was nominated for four 2016 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score (Lloyd Webber and Slater), Best Book (Fellowes), and Best Leading Actor in a Musical (Alex Brightman). School of Rock – The Musical also won the 2017 Oliver award for Outstanding Achievement in Music.

 
Based on the hit film, School of Rock – The Musical is a hilarious new musical that follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. While teaching these pintsized prodigies what it means to truly rock, Dewey falls for the school’s beautiful, but uptight headmistress, helping her rediscover the wild child within.
 
School of Rock – The Musical features scenic and costume design by Anna Louizos, lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Mick Potter and music supervision by John Rigby.
 
School of Rock — The Musical is produced on Broadway by Andrew Lloyd Webber for The Really Useful Group, Warner Music Group & Access Industries, The Shubert Organization and The Nederlander Organization. Nina Lannan and Madeleine Lloyd Webber serve as Executive Producers.

TIU Meet Up: The Lean Body Studio

On Saturday I attended another TIU Meet Up – grown up sorority as my friends call it. I seriously love getting together with all these lovely ladies – they’re so inspirational. This meet up was probably one of my favorites Kelsey (fellow TIU-er) was our instructor, and provided a serious booty kicking HIIT class at The Lean Body Studio. I loved how intense the workout was, and will probably sign up for some more classes on my own.  I forgot how much I LOVE HIIT workouts.

Snow Daze

 

You’re hot then you’re cold, Michigan please make up your mind. Warmer temperatures quickly changed to colder, ugh. I cannot wait for the weather to break and watch the leaves return to the trees. Until then you can find A and I on a snowy adventure through the woods.
