Snapshots from Atlanta, Georgia
I fell in love with another city last week–Atlanta, Georgia. The city was more beautiful than I expected, and had so much fun exploring and taking photos. So enjoy this photo dump below of my trip. I’ll have a few more blog posts coming up about what to pack for Atlanta in the spring, and…

Winter Reads
Winter is such a great time for reading–being warm in bed with a book while snow falls softly outside, or curling up on the couch under a thick blanket while velvet flames crackle in the fireplace. Winter break for us college students allows us more time to read, although I am excited to be able…

Growing Up With Anxiety
I used to think that being anxious was just a part of my personality, that it was a flaw in who I was and I would never be able to get away from it. I thought I would eventually grow out of it, but it never happened.

One of the most frustrating things to me is how there are a ton of dogs and cats in shelters, waiting to be adopted, and that people still go to pet stores instead to drop thousands of dollars on a dog. My biggest problem with pet stores is that the dogs usually come from puppy…

Where to Visit in Des Moines
I’ve been in Des Moines pretty consistently for about two and a half years now, and that’s given me some time to find great places to hang out and eat around the city. Des Moines is on the rise, and even though it’s a pretty small city, there’s still some fun things to do, especially…

In Pursuit: Staying Organized
Life is a mess, so it’s important to try and have some sense of order. As someone with a Type A personality, being organized is super important. I write everything in my planner. I color code things.
