The age of cable television is dying and streaming services are taking over. I, like many others, don't watch cable television. I subscribe to popular streaming services instead: Netflix, Hulu, HBO and Amazon Prime. A lot of people joke that they don't pay for their Netflix and that they just mooch off of someone else's … Continue reading My Online Watchlist

A Quick Trip to Oregon
A week ago I returned from a short trip back to Oregon to see my college best friend who lives in Portland and to see another best friend graduate. It was the perfect length of time and I got to explore the Portland area and return to my alma mater. It has been a year … Continue reading A Quick Trip to Oregon
My Summer To-Dos
Summer is finally here and I want to do so many things. And I'm sure many of you have a long list as well. There's still a bit of snow on the peaks in the Rocky Mountains here in Colorado but it's beginning to get warmer and there's plenty of activities to be done this … Continue reading My Summer To-Dos
My Workspace
Since I've been at my (not-so-new) new job now for six months I thought I'd share how I've made my desk my own. I never thought that I'd be the type of person to sit at a desk all day for work, but I am. I will hopefully have an opportunity in the future to … Continue reading My Workspace

In short, it was a wonderful trip that I will certainly remember for years to come. As I … Continue reading Five Days on the Green
Why I Jumped on the Game of Thrones Bandwagon
**This post contains spoilers from the final season of Game of Thrones.** With the series finale of the HBO show Game of Thrones, I thought I'd share why I decided to jump on the ever-so-popular bandwagon. I've always been a fan of fantasy, especially when you add in an original storyline and interesting characters that you … Continue reading Why I Jumped on the Game of Thrones Bandwagon
#DucksGive
A year ago I wrote about the Art of Giving and gave insight into the University of Oregon's annual Giving Day #DucksGive. This year, instead of sitting behind a computer and calling for donations, I was on the other end receiving the call. Giving back to the university that I spent tens of thousands of dollars … Continue reading #DucksGive
It’s Time to Get Lost on the River
Five years ago I was fortunate enough to spend six days on the Green River in Utah with fellow juniors as a school trip. That trip made my high school experience. The trip, which has been around since the 70s brings a whole different kind of high school adventure to Middle Park High School juniors. … Continue reading It’s Time to Get Lost on the River

I Went to Vegas For A Work Trip
Yes. I. Did. Every year the company I work for puts together a three-day conference for the properties' managers to go over important changes, announces, updates, etc. Well since my position is brand new to the company I became an update and was invited to attend to present my position and what I have planned … Continue reading I Went to Vegas For A Work Trip
The Art of Packing…and Unpacking
So I've recently moved from my apartment in Oregon to my mom's two-bedroom apartment in Colorado. Because I was prepared for the move (as graduation would end my time in Eugene), I began packing two weeks in advance. The little items that I knew I wouldn't need went into cardboard boxes and plastic tubs first. … Continue reading The Art of Packing…and Unpacking

It's also my third and final #DucksGive as a student fundraiser. I began as a student fundraiser my freshman year in the fall and this … Continue reading The Art of Giving
