My 2009 Halloween Costume - a 1950s French Flight Attendant
Name: Shelly Marie
Dream job: Taking College Lifestyles to a full fledge magazine and TV Show! Can we say Editor-in-Chief of College Lifestyles! I would like Tyra’s spot OR the 5th hour of the Today Show!
One word to describe me: Intuitive
Favorite movies: Say Anything, Casablanca
Favorite TV Shows: True Blood
, Glee, Mad Men, Intervention, pretty much anything on the Soccer Channel, TLC, Food Network, and A&E
Favorite Color: Yellow
Coke or Pepsi: Diet Coke
I can’t live without: My Bunny, My Kitties, MACBook, Internet (sorry, I can’t), IPhone, CL Interns, Lil Sis, Big Bro, dark chocolate, coffee, carmex, mascara, Shelly cooked food
Pet peeves: Rude People; people who talk and laugh really loud, especially if I am at dinner with my bunny; people who talk on their cell phone in the bathroom (gross); guys who call me ‘Girl’
This makes me smile: Hanging out with my loved ones
; cooking
If I had $1 million I would: Buy a CL Loft and Business space (probably in Chicago) and CL would become an officially published magazine (see question 2)!
Cats or dogs: Cats (I have 3 – Max, Gizmo, and Theodore Roosevelt)
When I feel blue I: Crank up the music and dance!
My friends say I am: Witty
Anything else to add: I have a true appreciation for anything classic – the mannerisms of the 40s/50s are top notch in my book! I love my job as the Executive Director of CL! I have the wonderful honor of serving as the National Vice President of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority!
Shelly A Marie, MS, RD, LDN is the Executive Director of College Lifestyles. She loves, loves, loves CL! How many people can say that about their jobs?












Shelly, you are amazing! College Lifestyles WILL be an inspirational, fresh, and fun tv show very soon
