Man vs. Grandma

For this post I created a movie spoof paralleling “Man vs Wild”. The idea was that spending a few nights at my grandmother’s house was similar to a few nights out in the wild. It was an enormous amount of fun to make, and my grandmother loved being the center of attention. You will notice… More Man vs. Grandma Continue reading

Interview with the Cousins

Over the course of this blog, I have realized my posts have been less about my grandparents and more importantly about family. I have been privileged enough to be born into a wonderful and loving family that enjoy coming together over the absurdity of my grandparents. My parents, brother, uncles, aunts, and cousins have regularly… More Interview with the Cousins Continue reading

We Lift Things Up and Put Them Down

Even though our fall season has technically been over for about a month now, we really have not seen any slow down. We are either running or lifting 6 out of 7 days of the week- just like in season. Don’t get me wrong here, I actually do enjoy being with the team and getting better every […] Continue reading

Hunting For Jobs and the Dreaded End

So as I forgot to mention in my “about me” blog post, I am a senior this year. With that comes the realization that in less than six months I’ll be in the real world doing real world people things (whatever the hell that means). To be honest it’s starting to slap me in the […] Continue reading

  Time is flying! I’ve been here for almost 3 months and I have gone through a storm of feelings and sensations. I have traveled, I have known amazing people, I have laughed and I have cried, but the most important thing is that I have learned.
