They say that when you're in a relationship with someone, you should try and take an interest in what they are interested in. Well, I don't know who "they" are, but because of them, I'm learning to fly fish. You read that right; I've been putting on waders and trudging through knee-high Michigan rivers in search of little fly-nibbling Trout. I'm just as stunned as you are, maybe more.
Read MoreI, like many millennials out there have my own website. Partially for exposure when it comes to applications and networking, partially because it gives me a creative outlet to write and design, and partially just for vanity. I mean, I'm only human.
Read MoreYou're always just one decision away from a completely different life. In a similar way, I believe, you're always just one conversation away from meeting a person who will completely change your life, too.
Read MoreThis weekend marks the end of another year. 2017 came and went faster than on-coming traffic on the highway and yet, somehow, I am still wishing it had passed by even faster.
Read MoreI can't sleep. For those who know me - there's no surprise there. I would say that I have a lot on my mind, but that would be the understatement of the century.
Read MoreFour years ago, I was beginning to make decisions that would change my life forever. Four years ago, today seemed like an eternity away. Four years ago, I had wide eyes and ambitions as great as the day is long. Four years ago, was my senior year in high school.
Read MoreSome people seem to have their family histories all figured out. We all know those people, the ones who can trace their ancestry lines back to the Mayflower and beyond. They're all so full of pride for their family and possibly for their heritage. Unfortunately, coming from a small town in the Midwest - without any significant ethnic diversity or any obvious settlement pockets in the area - I have never had the privilege of knowing where I was from beyond my own address.
Read More"Long distance doesn't work," they say. "Long distance relationships won't last," they say. "There's no way to make sure they're being faithful and honest when you're so far away," they say. "It's like being single, but lonelier," they say. Well, I don't know who this they is, but they can take their false information and shove it.
Read MoreI can't believe it’s already over a week into the month of April. Where on earth has the time gone? It’s been quite some time since my last update and so much has happened since then; I’m sure I’ll struggle to fit everything in (or perhaps more accurately just remember it all), but I'll give it a go.
Read MoreThey warn you that this feeling is coming. "It isn't just a vacation in Europe for a semester", they say, "you will experience a time when the fun stops and the culture-shock sets in" (pfft, what do they know anyway, right? I know myself and I'll be having too much fun to notice... or so I've been telling myself for months now).
Read MoreIt's after 3 A.M. during finals week. When you consider the amount of hours I've dedicated to completing work over the last 14 days and the lack of proper nutrition or sleep I've gotten lately (things not unfamiliar to any college student this time of year), it'd be expected that I'd be passed out from a crippling combo of exhaustion, stress, dehydration and caffeine withdrawal by now, but alas I'm wide awake.
Read MoreI'm just another Millennial taking on life one cup of coffee at a time. My blog Espresso Myself is a place for me to be me, for myself, and for everyone else. Write on!
