Blue Coast Burrito

So I am successfully moved into my apartment in Murfreesboro (pictures to come later). I still have plenty of unpacking to complete and redecorating to start. My roommate got back from vacation yesterday, so we have a lot of collaborating to do for the kitchen and family room. I already love my apartment, its become very homey. My dad is here with me until Sunday (tomorrow) so it's been a blessing! 


Yesterday we went and tried one of Nashville's own: Blue Coast Burrito. 

I got a good recommendation from a friend, but to my surprise I found it lacking something. Being from South Florida and Tallahassee I am used to the chains of Moe's and Chipotle (Moe's always won over Chipotle) Now while, Blue Coast still beats Chipotle in my mind, it didn't have the same WOW factor as Moe's. 


Positives of Blue Coast: 


1. Cheaper! It was a lot cheaper than your typical Moe's menu - 5.50 for a small burrito
2. Have the option to pick different tortilla's if you order a regular burrito
3. Get student discount if from the local University
4. Very vibrant colors and welcoming dine-in atmosphere. 


Negatives: 


1. First off, no one leaves a lasting welcome like Moe's does: "Welcome to MOESSSSS"
2. The pico de gallo ..... tasted really funny. 
3. Paid extra for chips and salsa - salsa choices very slim. 
4. Sour cream came out of a dressings bottle - very weird to me. 
5. Did a calorie count when I got home ... what I believed to be less fat and low in calories, was in fact 800 calories. 


Overall Opinion: 


I would go back to Blue Coast eventually if people wanted to meet for lunch or dinner there, but it will not become a place I get take out from or recommend as one of the first options to eat. 


One TN chain down, plenty left to try! 

The End of an Era

I have always been a fan of blogging, but now I am going to attempt to keep one (successfully) myself. At this point in my life, it is a Sunday and I am sitting in my completely destroyed apartment attempting to pack up my entire Florida life into a Penske truck. Come Thursday, I will be leaving the land of palm trees and sunshine for the rolling hills and country music state of Tennessee. Normally you hear about people moving from all over the country to Florida and describe it as the best state ..... well I am ready to say Goodbye to the state that has housed me for 22 years and excited about the new adventures that Tennessee will bring me. 

I am moving to Murfreesboro, TN mainly for graduate school at Middle Tennessee State University. I will be working on my Masters of Science degree in Mass Communications. The greatest thing about where I am moving is just the endless amount of opportunities that I will have living so close to the capital. Nashville has a large array of non-profits, commercial tourism, and of course professional sports; all in which I would love to gain experience in on my path to becoming a Special Events Director. 

Living in Tallahassee for the past 5 years has taught me so much: how to drink immense amounts of alcohol, how to love a football team more than your own family, and to grow up and find a place that fits you but just don't forget where you came from. I loved living in Tallahassee, it completely made me the person I am today. But I have hit the wall of growth here and it's time to move on and make a new name for myself. I have been blessed with so many amazing experiences, a wonderful job for all 5 years, and the ability to legitimately "bleed" garnet and gold. 

This blog is going to act as a memoir of my new adventure in Tennessee. It will illustrate my life changing moments and my struggles. I know it won't be the easiest transition: a puerto-rican/italian female from Miami - then a Florida State Seminole in Tallahassee- to now a Tennessean, but I am excited for what God and the world has to offer. My journey officially starts Thursday, July 28th.... it should be a WILD ride <3
