  • Why it Sucks Being a Millenial

    Why it Sucks Being a Millenial

    Hi yes, hello it’s me, another 25-year-old bitching about their privileged life with a macbook and an iphone 6s next to me. I don’t earn a living wage, and I live in income-based housing, the sweater I am wearing has a hole in it and I haven’t had a real…

  • I wish, I wish

    I wish, I wish

    If only it was as easy as blowing out candles and getting a unicorn. We all have wishes. Or rather hopes and dreams for our future. We wish for more money, better hair, another child, to travel the world etc. These dreams give us goals to strive for something better…

  • Writing, because sometimes nothing else makes sense

    Writing, because sometimes nothing else makes sense

    I’m not the person that always wanted to be a writer. Which is weird considering a large amount of what I do is write. Yet, I wasn’t the kid that always journaled, and I wasn’t the kid that needed to write every day. I’m still not that person. Instead I…

  • Weddings and other nonsense

    Weddings and other nonsense

    I love LOVE. I love romance, and stories of two people fighting the odds. I enjoy laughter, and nights in with my partner to watch the x-files. I enjoy sushi dinner dates and picnics. I enjoy rare vacations where we dress up and eat fancy and enjoy each others company.…

  • Top 10-Denver

    Top 10-Denver

    I love the “big city” of Colorado. AKA Denver, which serves as the capital but also as a massive metropolis of something like 30 suburbs and small towns all connected and smooshed together. Denver proper is rather small, but is packed full of exciting and enjoyable activities for any visitor.…

  • Ask and you’ll receive, but what about gratitude?

    Ask and you’ll receive, but what about gratitude?

    I love the concepts presented in the Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer. Ask for what you want the universe will grant your wish and you will be happy and flourish. Which is a great and simple way of explaining hard work, good friends and sometimes privilege. This isn’t to bash…

  • Camping- The Magic Land in the Backyard

    Camping- The Magic Land in the Backyard

    First I should say we don’t actually have a backyard. BUT we are only an hour and a half away from one of the most famous and well loved National Parks in the United States, Rocky Mountain National Park. 2015 marked 100 years of Rocky Mtn. being a National Park, and…

  • Tough Decisions in Pursuing a Dream

    Tough Decisions in Pursuing a Dream

    I recently made the hard choice to leave a job that I had bled into for four years. The decision was a sudden one, but one that I needed to pursue, even if it meant that I wouldn’t have my same comfort level. I don’t write this to bash anyone,…

  • Summer School

    Summer School

    Some of you may or may not know, but I am working on my master’s in International Journalism. As a result I haven’t been blogging so much lately. So attached is my summer work, a documentary on geek culture in Fort Collins, Colorado. ENJOY!

  • Mulan

    Mulan

    Regardless of some of the nonsense that inevitably comes with Disney movies, this one is still in my top five. The others came to me in my later childhood and adult life. Lilo and Stitch was innovative and hit home to how important family is to all of us and…
