Tips for Cold Weather!

Warnings that the temperature would drop below freezing popped up.I was not prepared for such happenings. Aside from the ten billion jackets that occupy the space that was once the back seat of my car.
Luckily, I was gifted a emergency baskets of goodies and for some reason, my car started the next morning with no issue!

Alas, I will not tempt fate more than once!
I equipped my car with an overzealous amount of emergency gear that was inexpensive and at times plain silly.

  With that preparation, I always read up on some tips to survive the weather. Thus I am now going to share some tips with ya'll:

-  DRESS IN LAYERS!
what not to do!

-  Check your car for any issues that will be affected by the weather.

Every vehicle requires a certain ratio of coolant to water, and your owner's manual or repair technician can explain what your engine needs. For most vehicles, a winter ratio is 60% coolant to 40% water. Adjusting this ratio is an important step in winterizing your car, so if you need help, ask someone who is experienced and knowledge.

- Drive safely! for what the weather permit!             

 Keep the speed demon inside of you on the down low!

Valkerie’s Debut

Welcome to my page 

Hey readers, it’s me- Valkerie Burkart! I’m new to telecounseling. This is my second year here at The University of Texas at Tyler and I am a nursing major. I went into nursing because I want to become a pediatric nurse after college. This has been my dream since I was a little girl because of my love for people and helping others.

 I have a lot of other interests that have helped shaped me to be the young woman I am today. I love kittens, puppies…pretty much baby anything! I will make things easier on your eyes and list my favorite things a la Julie Andrews style: 

True story, the hills are alive!

These are a few of my favorite things:

Hello, we are so happy to see you <3

• ·         Traveling (I’m going to Japan in 2016 and Brazil/Argentina for GATE in 2014!)
• ·         German Shepherds (I have one named Dakota. She’s my baby <3)
• ·         Pink and Sparkles
• ·         Fashion/Interior Design (Old French Couture)
• ·         Smiling is my favorite
• ·         Sunsets and Sweet Tea
• ·         Dance/ Drill Team
• ·         Costume Conventions!

I fell in love with UT Tyler because the scenery here is so tranquil and peaceful. The university is kept so clean and neat and the people are so unique here. Everyone that I have met here in Tyler have been so kind and helpful, and I have met my closest friends here My experiences here at UT Tyler have been amazing so far and I want to guide others to a place where they can find a place where they feel as at home as I do.

The fun has been doubled. Again.

I am so excited to meet my readers and be a guide to all of you. I believe in inspiring and exhilarating those around me! I hope you will follow up on the blog and please don’t be shy in the comments. Let me know what you’d like to see from me in future posts!

My goodness, I just love kittens!

So to be proactive against this monster 

I have created a list of what i'm doing to stay awesome this week: 

1. For Monday morning
