WELCOME TO THE LOVE ZONE!

Here you will here dating advice from Dr. Love!

Enjoy

Dating!

Dating! What can we say about dating? There has been volumes of books and literature written about dating? But truly does anyone truly understand the rules, signs, gestures of how the dating world is in this present time? Today I would like to start at the beginning with sharing with you some simple pointers about going on a "First Date" .

When you hear the words "First date" what comes into your mind? Does your heart start bounding and sweat droplets begin to accumulate on your forehead and hands? Does your mind go through your closet and then your dresser trying to find the right thing to wear, so you can "Dress to impress?" Are you thinking about what to say? What to ask? What to do? Well lets start answering some answers by going over some simple pointers with you of "Things not to do on a first date" :

1. Don't be late!

2. Don't allow your eyes to wander?

3. Don't text/talk on your cell phone!

4. Don't talk about yourself too much!

5. Don't mention your last boyfriend/girlfriend 1000 times during the night!

If you can follow these five simple rules, and focus on your date, and have good communication and make the night about getting to know each other, it will turn out to be an enjoyable one. Now I want to make clear to all of you reading this that I have not said you have found the "One" but you have started to build something with the one you are on a date with and maybe in the end it might blossom into something great!!!

Sincerely,

Dr. Love

Wolverine Wednesday, the funny one!

This week’s Wolverine Wednesday is going to make you laugh… not the actual words that I’M writing, the club that I’m highlighting… Really, because that’s what they do… they make people laugh… Something, I am not very good at. Hey! Maybe I could join… (drum roll please)… THE IMPROV CLUB!! (As you can see from my introduction, I need a lot of help with the funny stuff.)
The Improv Club is a UVU sponsored club, which has been around for two years. It was started by Reed Parkinson, a student at UVU. The other members of the club come from many different areas of the school. They have everything from chemistry major to Spanish, from religious studies to communications majors; ironically, none of the club members are actually studying anything to do with performing arts.
So, what does an improv club do? Well they practice and perform improv. Every Wednesday nights at 7pm (in PS202) the club meets to have fun. They play improv games; something you might see on the show “Who’s Line is It Anyways?”. However, most of the time the meetings are just full of fun and laughter; something any college student could use. If you wanted to join in on the fun, the club is open to all. Just head on over to the meeting, I’m sure you’ll have a great time.
However, if getting up in front of people, to try and make them laugh is just not your thing, that’s fine! The improve club is still for you! In fact, this week they have a performance on Friday July 9, 2010. The performance will be at the UVU Centre Stage (in the Student Center). The show runs from 7 to 9 pm and… (are you ready for the best part)… is only $2!!! Yep and that’s not even 2 bucks just for you, grab a date and it still will only be $2!!! It’s bound to be one of the best, if not cheapest, Friday nights of your life! So there it is for ya, a perfectly good invitation to a (cheap) night of fun filled laughter!
If you want to learn more about the improve club you can either: 1. Show up at one of their meetings or 2. Email them at whatssofunnyimprov@gmail.com. Hope you enjoy the show!

Super Cool CA Spotlight

I know it’s not Monday, however, yesterday was a Federal Holiday, therefore, to most of the country this is the first working day of the week. So I’m going to turn in my “Get out of jail free” card and post Marvelous Mondays on Terrific Tuesday… Just for this week.
This week I would like to introduce you to Kami Poll. Kami is one of our greatest Community Ambassadors. She has been with us for a year now, and has loved every moment of it.
Kami came to us from Morgan, UT. She is a junior at UVU, where she is studying Recreational Therapy. Kami loves to eat ice cream, play the piano, talk and laugh. However, her favorite thing to do is go outside and play a good competitive game of softball. She even played for UVU her freshman year.
Kami became a CA so she could (and I quote), “CHANGE THE WORLD”. To do so she plans programs such as hiking, human mattress dominos, sleepovers, camping and of course laughing. She looks forward to getting to know her residents and “becoming their best friend”. If Kami’s residents could learn one thing from her, she hopes it will be to, “be happy and no matter what, and LIVE YOUR DREAM!”
Kami will always live her life motto to be positive, be nice and serve others. Kami once told me, “Life is superb and I love it!!!!”. There’s nobody better to make you feel that way, than Kami Poll.
