Hey there friends! I hope your day is going well so far. Mine has been crazy and super busy. I had work this morning from 5am to 10am then I decided to try doing yoga, again. I did a quick 11 minute yoga workout and I'm defiantly not a flexible human-being who is also super clumsy which doesn't help when it comes to yoga. So I had this thought during the middle of my awful yoga session that I should probably re-introduce myself to those of you who are reading this blog post for the first time and don't really know much about me, other than the fact that I stink at writing weekly blog posts ..read more

Hey there friends! I hope you have been enjoying the New Year of 2020. It feels so weird to say we are living in the twenties again, especially since I didn't live in the original roaring twenties. Picture via PinterestIf you made any New Year Resolutions, I hope you are still sticking to them and killing it at whatever you set your mind to do. Rather it is going back to the gym, setting a budget and saving your money, or whatever goal you wanted to set for yourself. I'm always awful at keeping my resolutions because by the end of the second week I'm completely done with trying to do what I ..read more

2019: College Graduation Hey there guys! Happy New Year and welcome to 2020. I hope you all enjoyed yourself last night celebrating the end of a decade and the beginning of a new. Last night I sat down to write out a post about as we leave 2019 behind we should leave all of our fears and anxieties behind with it and venture into the new year with open hearts and the mentality that this was going to be our year. Our year to do what we wanted to do in the previous years but were too scared to take that chance. I know that change can be scary. Trust me I know that all too well, but sometimes ..read more

Handcrafted greeting card Business: Lucky Dog Mail Club Hey there, The holiday season is already upon us! We are officially about three weeks away from Christmas and people are already rushing to get their Christmas shopping done, instead of waiting till the last minute like myself! (Yes I did just out myself for last minute shopping. That is just what I do!) But while we are all shopping for that "perfect" gift, we should stop and remember our local small businesses that have exactly what we need. For this holiday season, I decided I wanted to partner up with a local business to help pr ..read more

Hey there! Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are having a most wonderful day spending time with your family and friends. I can't tell you how blessed I am to have such great family and friends to spend the holidays with, even though this season I'm unable to be there today. Along the notes of celebrating this holiday, I also get to celebrate another year of life on this planet. I'm very thankful to share my 24th birthday on this holiday! Over these past 24 years, I have learned so many lessons, both the easy and hard way. So today I want to share with you 24 lessons I've learned so far! You ..read more

Hey there guys! So before we jump into this blog post I just want to share with you that this post can be political. I normally don't write political posts, because I don't like arguing politics with anyone. We all have our own beliefs on each party, and I have seen different views drive a wedge between people. So now that you have read my little disclaimer, lets dive right into it. As much good that has happened in America, can we really forget about all the bad? That is a question that we should ask ourselves as we see all the red ‘Make America Great Again’ hats wandering around. Yes ..read more

Hey there friends! I want to go ahead and apologize for waiting almost 2 weeks to write a new post. I have been telling myself that I need to sit down and write some new content, but my lazy butt hasn't wanted to do anything until today! Few of the key words from my column!A lot has been going on in the last two weeks though. I had a column published in The Daily Toreador about two weeks ago, discussing the ugly side of the body positivity movement. I loved writing that column, but I also struggled a little bit because I shared a hard experience that I endured during my freshman year of col ..read more

Hi friends! I know it has been at least a week since my last blog post, and I apologize for not keeping up with the consistent posting schedule. The final semester of senior year has kicked in, which means for me it's time to juggle multiple heavy writing assignments while trying to work and get sleep. Sounds like an exciting year right? New logo design for the blog! :) So far it has been exciting, but also at the same time, it has been stressful. The professors that I have this semester have been great and supportive for those of us who are soon to be graduating. Their support is very comf ..read more

Welcome back! If you are reading this, I hope you had a great week and are looking forward to having a three-day break since it's Labor Day weekend. For this post, I'm going to continue on the sharing of my college experience leading up to where I'm at today. So let us get down to my junior year! Junior year was probably my longest time at Tech, due to it taking about 3 or 4 semesters (I honestly lost count) to finish.  This year was probably the longest and most difficult time out of college, due to several events that had taken place. I had left Applebees to work at another restaurant fo ..read more

 Hey there! So it's that time of year again. School is starting back up and it's time to hit the books again! I'm so excited because this is the final semester that I get to call myself an "undergrad". My time at Tech has been a series of events, from changing my major over and over again. To question what I was doing here, and even if I belonged here. So today I thought I would share with you my story about my time at Texas Tech University. I started school in the fall of 2014. As soon as I graduated high school, I was counting down the days until I left Breckenridge, Tx to get up to Lub ..read more
