Biography »

Let's get the stats out first: Height: 5'5 1/2" Weight: ~110 lbs Bra: 32B - 30C (I'll get back to you on measurements) Dress size: 2-4 I'm a 21-year-old full-time student, part-time worker from Chicago and am getting my Bachelor's Degree in Sassy. Alright, not really. It's actually Communication with a minor in Graphic Design. What do I want to do with my life? Advertising. My personal motto for my job choice is: "I'd rather be the person who knows the misconceptions than the one falling for them." We all know the pressure that is placed on a woman in her daily life. I think that I can bring a unique viewpoint to the table because I have studied a lot (A LOT) on the subject of mass-media. I'm a pretty supportive person and I tell it like it is. My friends know that they can count on me whenever they need someone to talk to during the tough stuff. I am learning to allow myself to do the same. I'm fairly guarded and wear some masks. It's getting better as I allow myself to connect to others. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I'm excited to get to know you. :)

Brienna – Week 6: I don’t mean to seem like I care about material things, like a social status.
By Brienna
Posted in CH.II, Getting Healthy on 26 December 2009

It’s now the sixth week of Getting Healthy. Sixth. What have I learned so far? CHANGE DOESN’T HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY. You have to work at it. You have to move something inside of you. And that’s what I’m doing, I suppose. Today was a big step in the right direction. A step in feeling good [...]


Brienna: Week 5 – Always rushing, always late.

Posted in CH.II, Getting Healthy on 20 December 2009

I have an issue with schedules. Deadlines and due-dates are a game of avoidance. I don’t know exactly when I became that way, but I did, and now I am dealing with it. It’s made college fun, I guess. Anyways, this week has been one of working out! I’ve made an effort to actually do [...]


Week 4 – Brienna: She Wanna Have Whatever She Like…
By Brienna
Posted in CH.II, Getting Healthy on 12 December 2009

Sometimes I get into a hip hop mood and just want to dance. I think that’s the best way to explain my mood today. I took a page from my lovely friend, Elle, and danced my butt off while I was getting ready to go downtown. Kid Cudi’s “Make Her Say”, Radiohead’s “Jigsaw Falling Into [...]


Brienna – Week Three: 2 Steps Forward, 2 Steps Back.
By Brienna
Posted in CH.II, Getting Healthy on 6 December 2009

I apologize for being late. I was a lot busier than I expected to be yesterday. Please forgive me?! This is going to be a shorter entry. Why? Because I have made no real progress. In fact, I’ve gone backwards. I got too stressed out because of school and I let it ruin my progress. [...]


Brienna – Week 2: “It’s not whether you win or lose…
By Brienna
Posted in CH.II, Getting Healthy on 28 November 2009

It’s how you place the blame.” – Oscar Wilde Where to start? This week has been a bust. Well, not a complete bust because I did do some things right, but other than that, it seems like not much has been accomplished. But that’s ok. Maybe sometimes we are just meant to sit back and [...]


Brienna: Greetings and Salutations from the Windy City!
By Brienna
Posted in CH.II, Getting Healthy on 21 November 2009

My “Getting Healthy” Info 1. As of the beginning of this project, what are your height and weight? I am 5’5 1/2″. I always emphasize that 1/2″. Why? I believe it’s because I want that to set me apart from the crowd. I was never 5’5″. I had that half-inch step over the norm. That [...]
