    Happy Wednesday! As I sit here drinking my super pretty latte, I am scrolling through Twitter and Facebook looking for interesting blogs to read, and the question becomes, “What do I find to be an interesting blog?” What types of titles grab my attention, and more importantly, keep it.

  • My Declaration of Wanderlust

    My Declaration of Wanderlust

    Recently, I’ve been noticing a lot more social commentary via social media outlets on the ideals of millennials, traveling and wanderlust. There are a couple different ideas floating around the internet recently, and it’s made me both agree and contemplate how I fit into this all with my personal views. Somewhere in Oregon near Crater […]

    The Fine Art of Microadventure

    I enjoy going on short adventures, generally close to home, to try something new or go somewhere new and exciting. I don’t like spending much money on my adventures, if possible. I also don’t get many days in a row off work (i.e. working two days, off one, and on another couple) unless I specifically request […]

    The Key to a Happy Life (After Graduation and Beyond)

    Unbroken [Book Rave]

    Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand (Source) I just finished reading Unbroken yesterday. (I know that I am super behind the times, but what else is new?!) It was amazing. It was well-written, extremely detailed, and goes into the nitty-gritty. It’s based on a true story of an […]

    Ragnar Relay: Florida Keys

    Where did the month of February go?  Last month was a pretty hectic month for me. From snowboarding lessons to Florida to Arizona, I felt like I was going the entire month. (This explains my slacking on my blog posts– sorry everyone!). I’m going to catch up on my blogging slowly but surely. Let’s start […]

    Floridian, meet Snow

    As I settle into my new home for the semester, I am exploring the Salt Lake and the new environment. I’ve never lived in a snowy climate, so many things are new to me. Katie and I walked to the park near my house and took in the sight of a winter wonderland. We saw […]
