Since April, my friend Claire and I have been planning an epic camping trip with her extended family in New Mexico over Memorial Day Weekend. The timing of the trip probably couldn’t have been much worse. Claire and I were and are still in the midst of finals. Graduation for the second years is this … Continue reading »

There’s snow place like CO
Finals week is calling my name, which is why I have been MIA the past week. Actually, my finals are pretty nicely spaced out this quarter. The problem is more that I spent all weekend playing in the mountains, and now I am paying for it by being forced to productively use every second of … Continue reading »
Web obsessions: Dirtbag Diaries
I have to confess, I’ve never really understood the whole podcast thing. Why would I choose listening to boring people talking to me over quality rap music? Luckily, I know I’m not perfect, and I can usually admit when I am wrong. And in this case I was very wrong. The problem was that I … Continue reading »
Happy birthday RMNPaula!
Exactly one year ago I started this blog and two years ago I graduated from college. What a crazy past couple of years it has been!

Okay, I say “our,” but I’m actually not graduating until November. Too much skiing this winter. I’m kidding. I … Continue reading »
Lions, tigers and trucks, oh my!
My friend Claire and I went on a morning hike at Rocky Mountain National Park this past Thursday, and it made me officially excited for another Colorado summer. Skiing this winter has been fun and all, but I really can’t wait to live outside all summer long. I think if I absolutely had to choose … Continue reading »
Shreya pointing at things
There’s an awesome Tumblr page called “Kim Jong-Il looking at things” that is pretty self-explanatory. Recently, my friends and I have decided that my friend Shreya always points at things in pictures. Not that I am actually comparing one of my best friends to the dictator of North Korea. I am, however, comparing her habit … Continue reading »

1803 was a good year
I have recently decided that 1803 was a spectacular year. Why? The Louisiana Purchase. Thank you Thomas Jefferson! The best $15 million investment that brought the United States the mountains in Colorado and New Orleans. Last week, my friends and I went on a whirlwind two day trip for a concert in New Orleans, which … Continue reading »
