I really do love college. But sometimes I just like to reminisce about my elementary years. And I have a relatively horrible memory…which makes this list even more special. But just because I remembered it does not necessarily mean that it was really significant, nor does me not including something mean I didn’t absolutely love … Continue reading

19 Reasons Why Our Parents Are Wonderful
1.) They have raised us to be independent and self-sufficient. (But at the same time, they’re always there if we need them.) 2.) They’re awesome with our friends…to the extent that they’ve gained the title of Mama Amy & Papa Steve. 3.) They taught us that common sense isn’t all that common…but regardless, we better … Continue reading
I don’t want to leave this place.
The only reason I haven’t cried today is because I’ve been too busy. Not in an entirely sad way…but more of a bittersweet-I-don’t-want-to-leave-this-place-in-9-months way. But seriously, how do three years fly by so quickly? When the topic of being a senior comes up we all prefer not to discuss the issue. Because we really, actually, … Continue reading
Non-cliché…is that a word?
I really like quotes. In the most non-cliché way, I love how they can change your attitude and your perspective. I love how they can lead you to a revelation. I love how they can explain something that you’ve been trying to articulate in words, but have been unable to accurately capture thus far. And … Continue reading
Turn that movie off so I can watch the Packers. Thanks.
“I know you haven’t seen it Laura…but has anyone else?” This is how people have learned to address movies around me. Because I just really don’t like watching movies. And people have a hard time accepting that. I usually get the, “How have you not seen it?!” Or, “I am going to make you watch … Continue reading
29 interesting & inconsequential facts about me.
I don’t like ice cubes in pretty much anything besides water. Primarily because they dilute the drink. Immediately. Likewise, I think soda goes flat in like 17 minutes. So unless I drink a can of soda really fast, I won’t drink the bottom ¼ inch. Everyone yells at me for it. Thanks to my elementary … Continue reading
That’ll be enough of that.
Here’s a list of 5 things that I just am not a fan of. These aren’t pet peeves really, or fears, they’re just things that I want to address with, “That’ll be enough of that.” 1.) When you get extremely excited because you think you are seeing something really amazing…only to come to the realization … Continue reading
Invest in yourself.
A few days ago I was with one of my friends when I turned to her and said, “I am just so excited to go back to work.” Naturally she asked me if I was being sarcastic. But for once I wasn’t. Toward the end of my first year of college, I began the job … Continue reading
5 Months Can Change Your Life.
I’m not entirely sure where to start as I attempt to reflect on the last 5 months I spent abroad. The experience opened my eyes, built me, and changed me. It was easier than I expected, but at the same time full of surprises. And while I did go into it with low expectations (i.e. … Continue reading
Hi Family!
So my family came to Ireland to pick me up and while they were at it, we decided to tour the country. Poor Steve Dad ended up driving 1200 miles on some crazy roads/footpaths…we owe him, a lot. He adjusted well to the whole driving on the left side of the road, having to stop/reverse to … Continue reading
