I’ve been the proud owner of a Netflix account for about six years now. There have been massive strides in the streaming experience. The amount of content has increased tenfold and phenomenal Netflix Originals are added every week. It is the binge-watcher’s heaven. I only have one major complaint.
Bucket List item #258: Post to my Blog 50x
Well, here’s my 51st blog post. Boy, this has not been easy. I thought for sure I could keep up with consistently posting twice a week, and for a while, I did. It was damn exhausting though and a larger time commitment than I thought it would be. It wasn’t like I was doing this for followers or likes, I was doing this because it was a goal that I set for myself. I used to journal all the time and wanted to get back to doing that. I created this as a space for me to write down thoughts, document my adventures, and come up with something fun and productive to do with my spare time. Continue reading “#258 Post to my Blog 50x”

Bucket List item #282: Explore ice caves
This past January, I took a week-long trip to Iceland with my sister. The main goal of the vacation was to see the Northern Lights. You can read my post here about it. While witnessing this natural beauty was the main reason why I decided to trek to Iceland in the cold, dark winter, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed my other adventures around the frozen island. Battling out quite close to the Northern Lights was my experience on a glacier tour. Continue reading “#282 Explore Ice Caves”
Bucket List item #4: See the Northern Lights
This past January, I took a fairly spontaneous trip to Iceland. While the weather may have been more enjoyable in the summertime, I wanted to finally cross #4 off my list and December/January are the darkest months with the best chances for views of the Northern Lights. I scheduled my trip for an entire week because I know that even in the dead of winter, whether or not you see the lights are completely up to chance. If you schedule a week trip, it’s most likely that at least 4 of those days will be too cloudy, 2 will have low atmospheric activity, and 1 day will be just what you need. That’s almost how it happened. Continue reading “#4 See the Northern Lights”
So, I’ve turned 24 recently. In addition to that, I feel like I’ve taken some extremely grand strides in the past year… more than I have in the 23 years prior. I’ve left what was comfortable and started becoming who I really want to be. Here are some of the things that I try to remind myself in order to keep propelling forward (in no particular order): Continue reading “24 Things I’ve Learned in 24 Years of Life”

Bucket List item #192: Have a Friends-giving
When I moved to Colorado six months ago, I knew that I wouldn’t be back in Minnesota to spend Thanksgiving with my family. It would be my first Thanksgiving away from home. So, I knew that finding a good group of friends would be important to me and I could always celebrate Friends-giving instead! Continue reading “#192: Have a Friends-giving”
Honestly, a lot has been rolling around in my mind right now, so for a few minutes I’d like to just forget it all and see what my hands start typing out… Continue reading “Stream of Consciousness”
Bucket List item #95: Snowboard with Brooke
I added this one to the list knowing that I would be moving to Colorado with Brooke as my new roommate. This bucket list item has been several months in the making. The first thing I bought was my snowboard, way back in July. Over the next few months, I started accumulating everything I’d need because I’m determined to make this my new winter sport, dedicating all my weekends to the mountains.
