Long Weekend in Kansas

This past weekend I flew to Kansas for a long, fun-filled weekend. If I'm being honest, after having K-State season football tickets for 6 years, I just couldn't imagine NOT going to a game at all. So when I discovered I had Columbus Day off (Thank you Christopher!) and found reasonably priced airline tickets, I decided… Continue reading Long Weekend in Kansas

Music - What I'm Listening To

Friday Jam Session Vol. 15

I love music. My taste is very diverse — continually being shaped by an unique combination of people, places and experiences. I never try to pawn myself off as someone who “knows music,” because I have too much respect for those who do. I did dance and took piano lessons growing up, but trust me, you do… Continue reading Friday Jam Session Vol. 15

Home is Where the Heart Is

I've been somewhat lazy this week when it came to writing about my recent trip to Kansas, but I was struggling with coming up with something to say other than that it was fabulous and then recounting all of the details.

I remember quite a bit about the first time too, but at that point I was a high school senior, and even though I knew that this was where I wanted to go to college, it all seemed so surreal… Continue reading A Love Letter to Manhattan, Kansas

Kansas, Life Notes

Hail, Hail, Hail, Alma Mater.

Last fall my little sister transferred to a four-year school from her community college. As a student-athlete, she's worked really hard on her grades and even made the President's list for her GPA. {Insert SUPER PROUD sister moment here.} I laugh, because between high school and college, we completely switched roles. Once upon a time… Continue reading Hail, Hail, Hail, Alma Mater.

So There's That Series

So There’s That: Vol. 5

{Sort of like  a “Friday Five” except it’s probably not Friday and I gave up on the idea of a catchy alliteration. These are some bits and pieces of my glam #postgradlife.} 1. Thanksgiving Vacation in Oregon I surprised my family by coming home for Thanksgiving. I was able to stay for a whole week… Continue reading So There’s That: Vol. 5

Friday Jam Session: K-State Gameday

Guys, guess what?!? It's K-State Gameday! And this football loving, purple bleeding, K-State alumna is as giddy than a kid on Christmas Day. Go ahead and roll your eyes at me, but there is something a bit magical about Manhattan, KS on a Gameday. And it's contagious, I have had family and friends that are… Continue reading Friday Jam Session: K-State Gameday
