Welcome Celina!


NAME:
Celina Alger AKA: Single Girl

LOCATION:

Provo, Utah


AGE:
26 and LOVING IT


HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN BLOGGING FOR:
for a year at yesimsingle and 5 years with my girl friends!


WHAT IS THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION THE MEDIA GIVES OF WOMEN:
That we won’t be [happy/loved/successful/important/valid] unless we are blond, thin and an actress. I think there is this idea that money and fame make women happy.


WHAT INSPIRES YOU THE MOST:

Seeing people do small things everyday to impact the world.

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING IN YOUR SPARE TIME:

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I love a good book either tucked under a blanket or laying out by the pool. I love to travel, see new places and have new and exciting opportunities. I spend a portion of my free time working with a humanitarian group that does work in Ethiopia, and the rest I spend trying to find a husband, SCUBA diving, watching silly TV shows or doing nothing at all.


WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS BLOG:

I really enjoying the blogging community and think that the more platforms we have for women to learn, grow, network or express their opinions, the better off the world will be. As women we shape the generations to come.


DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE DISH:


To eat or that I can cook in real life? I love mussman curry and anything Thai. In real life I make turkey burgers, enchiladas and sandwiches.


YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO SPEND TIME:


At home, surrounded by all the people I love in the world.
A close second is poolside.




WHAT MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE A WOMAN:

Seeing strong, confident and educated women in real life. I am constantly in awe of the women around me who are real people, work real jobs, and have real life successes.




BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU EVER RECEIVED WAS:

As a college student I took a personal finance class which I remember very little of except for this:

If you can’t learn to give of your time, talents and resources when you are young and poor
You will NEVER be able to give when you are Old and Rich.
