Endless summer vibes in paradise: My trip to Cocoa Beach, Florida

The Florida withdrawals are so real right now. I would do anything to see the open ocean, walk along the beach, breath in the ocean air and to feel the sandy shores under my feet. It’s incredible how beautiful and endless the Atlantic Ocean is. Everything inside me longs to be back. When my family visited Cocoa Beach, we were so blessed with an amazing … Continue reading Endless summer vibes in paradise: My trip to Cocoa Beach, Florida

Twenty One Pilots: Emotional Road Show Tour – Birthday concert in Sioux Falls

My ears are still ringing, my feet are still sore and I’m still finding pieces of confetti everywhere. In any other situation I might be complaining, but without these reminders, I’d most definitely be in denial that I got to see one of my favorite bands perform this past weekend. My family took me on a birthday road trip to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to … Continue reading Twenty One Pilots: Emotional Road Show Tour – Birthday concert in Sioux Falls

Christmas in Walt Disney World

There is nothing more magical than spending Christmas in Walt Disney World. Over my college winter break vacation, my family spent our December holidays down south.

The parks were so joyful … Continue reading Christmas in Walt Disney World

New Florida favorite: Deep sea fishing on the Gulf of Mexico

Deep sea fishing in Florida is now something I can officially check off my bucket list. It was so much fun taking one of our favorite Minnesota lake hobbies and trying it out on the open ocean. The fish we caught were exotic and the memories we made were priceless. I can’t wait to do it again. We went deep sea fishing at Miss Pass-a-Grille, … Continue reading New Florida favorite: Deep sea fishing on the Gulf of Mexico

College life at the University of Northwestern – St. Paul

So excited because it’s spring break! This break kind of snuck up on me, but in the best way possible because I am so ready for it. Time to take a deep breath, slow down from the busyness and craziness of college, and chill. I can’t believe I’ve almost finished my first year at UNW, in some ways it feels like it just started. College … Continue reading College life at the University of Northwestern – St. Paul
