Well, I thought I would start out with a Helpful College Hint today. I'm sure I'll be discovering a lot in the next few months. These are not going to be in any particular order, they'll just come as I think of them.
Hint #1
Invest in a comfy wardrobe.
As a newly initiated "working girl", I have found that I'm a lot more active than the days of high school. Granted, I'm paying for my own gas so I refuse to use my car unless absolutely necessary, thus compelling me to walk and bike everywhere. Nothing is worse, however, than not being comfortable throughout the day.
I was recently hired at the BYU Broadcasting service and my days include a fair amount of physical work. While I'd like to show up in grubbies and my dirty sneakers, that is in no way professional. My problem: finding a wardrobe that fits my needs. Everyone will be different, but my advice is to take into consideration how long you work, how much work you do, and how you look while working. For example, when having to bend over and pick up large and heavy objects many times I would not recommend those cute jeans that squeeze and hug you in all the right curves and makes your rear look quite fine. You'll be clawing to get out of them by lunch.
Shoes are another matter entirely. I've always had a soft spot for adorable shoes, but Honey, those aren't going to cut it after an eight hour day. With my work I like support and comfort. I've recently acquired a pair of Sketcher's Shape Ups. They work miracles in the department of footwear. They advertise that they help tone and use more muscles, however after having mine I've never experienced a comfier (is that a word? It is now.) tennis shoe. I'm sure I am committing fashion suicide, but I'd like to take care of my feet and legs so I can have them for a long time.
Another good thing to have (though not in the "wardrobe" category, strictly speaking) is a lanyard for your keys. For me, at least, it makes it 10 times easier to find my keys when trying to fish them out of my purse or wherever I seem to have left them.
There you have it, my first of many college helpful hints. This is Megan, signing off.
