I’m off to Washington DC later this afternoon with the rest of Pierce College Puyallup Student Government. We’re off to attend a national conference on Student Councils retuning on Wednesday. I am very thankful and excited for this opportunity — I have never been to Washington DC and this is only my second time on [...]

Anyone who knows me knows that I love, love, love music. It’s a really weird obsession I have – seriously, I listen to all music (except Country) from all time periods. I am so thankful that I grew up having music a large presence in my life because music is definitely what gets me through [...]

This Veteran’s Day, it was definitely not a day off. I spent the day working my other job (not my Student Government job) in Lakewood. While it’s nice to get away and have a change of pace mid-week (usually I work out here on Fridays), I could have really used this day to catch up [...]

I forgot to mention one very important thing in my last post — Starbucks starts using their red holiday cups tomorrow (Tuesday, 11/3) and begin serving their holiday beverages, too (peppermint mochas, egg nog, gingerbread lattes, etc.)!! It could possibly be one of my most FAVORITE days of the year — outside of the day [...]

Okay, I appreciated the extra hour of sleep on Saturday night/early Sunday AM. However, after that first night there is really no benefit (for me, anyway) with falling back for the fall and winter. I get tired a lot earlier in the evening now, and wake up earlier than usual! Plus, driving home in the [...]

I’ve never heard anyone say that they’re excited for Monday… unless they’re on vacation or a holiday falls on a Monday which means you don’t have to work! But you always hear people excited for Friday and the beloved WEEKEND!
I am so ready for the weekend – plus, we all get an extra hour of [...]

Do I dare say it?! It’s beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS! I think I’ve hinted at this before, but I really love the Holiday season. Probably more than the average Holiday enthusiast, too! Throughout the whole year, I have nothing to look forward to – my birthday falls on December 1st, so I [...]

I’ll admit it – I’m a big Lady Gaga fan… It’s weird, either you hate her or you love her. I personally love her, but know many who hate her. No matter what anyone thinks, I genuinely believe that she has an amazing voice — especially when she sings acapella (like she did on Saturday [...]

The illness that I posted about last week turned into something pretty serious. I was ordered to stay at home all week by my Dr., so I took advantage of the opportunity to catch up on sleep and let my body rest. I will admit, however, I started to go a little crazy being combined [...]

Fall is here! I am just now starting to embrace the vivid colors of the trees and leaves, pumpkins, hot cider, crisp mornings, and now the rain and wind. The end of the year always gets me excited – maybe it’s because my birthday falls on December 1st and so does Christmas and New Years [...]
