I’m six weeks into my student affairs and higher education graduate program and I’m beginning to recognize characteristics of the field I was largely unfamiliar with a short time ago. I feel as though I need to preface this blog by convincing you that I genuinely love the field and am incredibly honored to be … Continue reading

The Ohio Life: Month Two-Ish
It’s crazy to think that on Wednesday, it’s already October! Time is seriously flying. Tomorrow I start week 6 of grad school. Not going to lie, in terms of academics, it’s a challenge. And I don’t think that’s going to change very much over the next two years. But it’s a good challenge. In the … Continue reading
A Tribute to Jade Taylor: Month One.
Hello friends, family & Jade Taylor. It has been quite some time since my last blog post. Which I am frequently reminded about by my dear friend, Jade Taylor. She is the poster child for a dedicated blog reader. So in return, I dedicate this post to her. Guess what?! Tomorrow marks one month of … Continue reading
OHIO (week one)
I’ve been here in [OHIO] for a week…and here’s what I can tell you. I go to bed too late. I love decorating my room. Cooking is a “learner’s” game. It’s an endless creative experiment. Crafts are my jam. Thrift stores have been [and continue to be] the bomb. And last, but not least, Ohio … Continue reading
The Spider & The Fly.
If you’re not in the mood for heebie-jeebies and/or you absolutely detest spiders…this post is not for you. Consider yourself warned. Just a few minutes ago, I was sitting on the floor in Russ’ apartment…minding my own business, when suddenly I heard a loud buzzing. I’ll admit I’ve been caught off guard before by his … Continue reading
A Golf Course Can Teach You a Thing or Two
It’s been 54 days since my last blog post…needless to say, I’ve been busy learning a thing or two at the golf course. Mother nature has had a [very saturated] mind of her own this summer; therefore, Thornbrook is still closed to the public. It has definitely come a long way, but the greens still … Continue reading
We Bought a Zoo (Golf Course Edition)
On March 26th, my parents came up to De Pere for dinner. I had just gotten back from spring break out in Cali, so when they suggested that we Skype my sister, I threw out some ‘tude and asked why…(since I had literally just spent a week with her). But they insisted on calling her … Continue reading
I’m excited on the inside, trust me.
I have diagnosed myself as someone who has an inability to show excitement to the true extent. Some people scream, some people jump, some people shout phrases of exclamation [that sound entirely natural]…and I’m usually just asked if I’m excited or not. My Dad says I can thank him for this fine trait. It’s a … Continue reading

An Open Love Letter to The Sturz
Where to even begin with the Sturzl Center for Community Service & Learning. Let’s just say I had no idea what I was getting myself into…in a million good ways. When I starting writing this, I turned on Pandora and naturally the first song that came on was “I Don’t Wanna Love Somebody Else” by … Continue reading
I’ve been preparing for everything…except this.
As I sit here and begin to write this, there’s no doubt that I’m in denial. There are 6 days of class left before finals week begins. I have 10 classes to attend before I graduate. One exam to complete. 7 scheduled hours at a job I have become attached to over the past 3 … Continue reading
