About Me

hello blog world!

My name's Victoria and I am an 18 year old student athlete and pescatarian - aka vegetarian + fish. I just finished my freshman year of college (I'm young for my grade, I know. I skipped a grade. haha) where I am a design major, soon to be design/english double major, and on the varsity swim team. This combination gets pretty hectic sometimes (lie. all the time) but I'm a bit of an overachiever and a perfectionist, so you know, I deal.

I made that chair out of cardboard and it held my weight. I'm not light.

I also draw a lot:

I'm originally from the New York metropolitan area (NJ to be specific), and I'm home in the dirty jerz for the whole summer. I'm about a  15 minute drive from New York City, so I go in pretty often. I love college, but I miss the city so much when I'm away.

That is neither my soda nor my animal print dress. don't judge

Anyway, I wanted to make this blog because a.) I've been blog stalking for forever, and I've always wanted one of my own to legitimize my creepster ways,  b.) to keep record of my food/ exercise/ etc. and  c.) because there are a ton of food blogs of runners out there and pretty much ZERO swimmer blogs (trust me, I've looked), so I like to think that I'm pioneering the trend. 

Swimming is obviously really important to me (and obviously imperative to my eating habits because during season I'm capable of eating incredible amounts. no lie. haha). I can't remember a point in my life when I wasn't swimming.

Aside from the copious amounts of food, I'm totally in it for the endorphins and I just love competition.

kicking ass and taking names

Haha. Lies. That's totally me on the 8th place spot. I was just excited that I got to stand on the podium.

some random fun facts:

- my favorite color is gold. I feel like I'm destined to be overly competitive - my name is Victoria (i.e victory), I love gold, and I'm a great big perfectionist. haha

-my favorite season is winter. I love the snow!

-I'm really bad at spelling. I've probably already spelt a lot of things wrong

- I love art and drawing, but I go to a really nerdy school, and get made fun of for my major all the time by my engineering and computer science friends

-I have a secret love (not all that secretive) for hard core rap. I think it's the jersey in me. haha

I'm so hood.

hah. I was actually Lil Wayne for Halloweeen :D

Anyway, so that's me.

peace out girl scouts!
