My freshman year dorm room is now the equipment room for the building’s elevator. When I first realized this, after “sneaking” into the building when I visited campus for the first time after graduation a few weeks ago, I was a little sad. The more I think about it now …

Sometimes your first impression of a person will be dead on. Other times you will be surprised that they are not the individual you thought they were at orientation. So as Oprah says, trust your intuition. And as life goes, don’t assume too much. There will come a time when …

It took one month to find a date for my sister’s bridal shower that worked for all of the bridal party. We set the date for four months out. Invitations were decided upon and proofed for spelling but not exactly … Continue reading →…

With six months under my belt as a yo-pro (young professional, duh), I’m pretty much an expert at networking. Not really. I have figured out a few things I try to avoid doing at networking events though! 1. Don’t be … Continue reading →…

Monday night I realized while brushing my teeth that I was also listening to music on Pandora, carrying on a conversation via text with a friend, perusing Pinterest and scrolling through Instagram. And that’s when I realized I’d gone crazy. … Continue reading →…

Perhaps the third time is the charm – I’ve deleted this post twice now, so perhaps version three will actually make it to that taunting “Publish” button on WordPress. Earlier tonight a very good friend of mine told me, “Next … Continue reading →…

Woohoo! I am back on the blog. I’ve missed my little corner of the interweb. Where have I been? Working! That’s right folks, back in December I started my first “real” job. Real only in the sense that the hours … Continue reading →…

If my year was a 4-minute photo slideshow, it might look a little like this:…

Last Thursday, Halloween, I came home from work and had my pajamas on by 7:30pm. I was completely content with whatever I threw together for dinner and having just gotten back a few days prior from an awesome trip to … Continue reading →…

I am a firm believer in the power of positive thinking, your thoughts become your reality, you get what you give, yada yada yada, you know what I mean. Today when I woke up, I thought to myself “Today, I … Continue reading →…

Something out of the ordinary happened at work a few weeks ago. I answered the phone. That is not the unusual part. The unusual part is that the person on the other line was not: A. Looking to make reservations … Continue reading →…

I babysat for 8 year old twins a few weeks ago and one of them decided to give me some words of wisdom at the dinner table. Charlie: So can you drive? Me: Yes, I can drive. Charlie: So you’re … Continue reading →…

After having trouble falling asleep last night, I finally drifted off only to have an unsettling dream where every time I tried to clock-in at work, I was late – no matter how early I was – and then my … Continue reading →…

I miss rowing.  I miss everything about it. Camaraderie.  Rowing is the ultimate team sport.  You move together.  Every thing you do affects each individual in your boat.  You win together.  You lose together.  You work together.  If you don’t, … Continue reading →…

I look like I am about sixteen years old.  Eighteen on a good day when eyeliner is involved.  Whenever I tell people I graduated in the spring they reply, “Are you going to college in the fall?”.  And of course when I explain that I graduated from college they never …

My summer job is in hospitality, or as my bosses like to say “hospi-freakin’-tality”.

After two and half months on the job, I wholeheartedly agree that the freakin’ is necessary at times.  My job involves setting up for breakfast in the morning, replenishing all the items during breakfast, breaking everything …

“Does is feel weird to be a college graduate?” is a question I have gotten pretty regularly since May 12th.  No, it does not feel weird.  Not yet.  Right now it just feels like any other summer vacation.  Though I am sure that a month from now, when I am …

Oh man. I just watched a beautiful sunset at the beach (yeah, be jealous), but the best part might have been an interaction between two young girls and an older couple.  As the older couple was getting into their car they noticed that a guitar was leaning against the rear …

I’m starting my own occupy movement.  It is a little different than the original “Occupy”, mostly because it is completely unrelated.  Hey, I needed an attention-grabbing post title!

Since my summer job is just that, a job I only have for the summer, I’m thinking some career-planning should take place …

My final project is a video that pieces together images from freshman year and images as well as video clips from senior year. It is loosely guided by an interview I did with my roommate Lindsay. Originally I had planned on using more video clips but toting a camera bag …

If you want a video about a reflection, go here.  If you want my thoughts on DS106, keep reading.  Vlogs aren’t really my deal so I went with an “old-fashioned” typed post.  Plus, this is my personal cyber infrastructure so we do things my way.  Okay? : )

I …

I was almost ahead of the game last name when I attempted to write this post about archiving my site and switching over my host service.  Well I am glad I didn’t!

I logged into my WordPress account earlier tonight only to find that all of my posts were gone, …

Over the course of the semester, I submitted the four required new project ideas for DS106 assignments.  And by “over the course of the semester” I actually mean that I did one about halfway through and then the other three in the past few weeks.  But you knew that, right?…

The semester might be ending soon but that doesn’t mean we can all just pack up our computers and forget about our blogs.  At my internship last week we watched a webinar and this website was recommended for tutorials: http://www.w3schools.com/

They seem to have a ton of great resources and …

This post is long overdue.  Now that we’ve acknowledged that, let’s move on.

I watched Kirby Ferguson’s Everything is a Remix about two weeks ago while I paired my recently laundered socks.  The four part video series was very interesting.  Kirby’s four part series, there is (currently) only one …
