Sunday Night Football

cheerleading
As a Packers fan, there is no greater game day than when the Packers play the Chicago Bears in Green Bay. And luckily for me, I get a front row seat to all of the action. Here are a few reasons why I considered last night's 55-14 victory over the Bears as my favorite game of the season so far.  1. Salute to...

I Don't Even Know What To Call This

college
Holy cow, I have been so incredibly busy. I'm not complaining though, being busy keeps me out of trouble. Not that I ever get into real trouble, more like it just prevents me from doing stupid things with my time, like binge watching the whole new season of New Girl in a weekend. Mainly I've kinda neglected writing here because I spend such...

With the capacity to hold thousands, it finally hits you that you will be in front of a crowd larger than you ever imagined. You can feel the Greatness in the air. The familiar smell of brats and beer is wafting around from the tailgaters outside. The...

2014 Fall Semester Goals

college
I survived the first week of classes and came to the conclusion that this is going to be one of the most difficult semesters of college yet. Between classes, my internship, countless group projects (the joys of being a Communications major), cheerleading practice, Packers games, and both men's and women's basketball games, I don't have time for any naps and I need to...

A Way With Words

F. Scott Fitzgerald
I'm  about to get all high school english teacher on you right now and for that I almost apologize for that but I want to take a moment to appreciate the wonderful words F. Scott Fitzgerald. They way he writes, everything flows so seamlessly and beautifully and I can't get enough. I just watched Great Gatsby so that might be the reason behind...

Throwback Thursday Playlist

#TBT
In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, I thought I would do a #TBT playlist of some of my favorite "old" songs. I guess old may not be the correct word to use but they're certainly not the same 15 songs we hear repeated on the radio these days. I suppose this taste of music can be credited to having an older brother, strangely...

A World Away

culture
Sometimes I hate modern culture. We find ourselves caught up in decoding sub-tweets and analyzing our SnapChat top friends instead of doing something useful with our time. It's a time where followers and likes seem to mean more than real friendships. People speak in Urban Dictionary vernacular instead of proper English and have no idea how to use correct grammar. "Oh yeah, Joe...

50 Shades of Underwhelmed

50 Shades of Grey
Yesterday the much awaited trailer for 50 Shades of Grey was released. Most of the response I saw was all positive minus the fact that viewers have to wait until Valentines day - I see what you did there, movie release people, giving single girls everywhere a little excitement on their Valentines Day, well played. But unlike most people that I know I...

Blast From The Past

memories
Sometimes I can't help but get all nostalgic about the past. There are so many great memories and specific moments I would love to revisit. I would never wish to change the past, as even one little change could alter the person I've become, someone that I am proud of but I do wish I could relive certain moments again all for different...

Chasing Perfection

perfection
This is something I wrote awhile ago for a different platform of mine but it is a thought that constantly remains in my head. Everyone has their own definition of what constitutes perfection. But if we all view it differently then nothing is seen as perfect in anyone's eyes but our own. Why do we keep trying to chase something that doesn't exist?...

Summertime in Milwaukee means one thing: Summerfest! This year I was lucky enough, thanks to my aunt, to score tickets to see OneRepublic.

Dangerous Driving: Put Your Phone Down

cell phones
My personal PSA for today: Put your phone down when driving. Too many people that I know feel the need to be on their phone while driving. Regardless of your driving skill level, being on your phone while driving is a huge hazard not only to you but everyone else you encounter on the road. It's hard to believe that you can't go...

My World Cup Rant

FIFA
I'll admit I'm no major soccer fanatic. The majority of my soccer knowledge comes from watching my brother play when we were younger or from playing FIFA. I do have a couple thoughts about the World Cup regarding to what people are saying about it. 1. Why are people watching it who don't even like soccer? Honestly, I think it would be silly for...

Fantasy Food

#summer2014
It's been a week since I've been home from vacation and since my dinner consisted of microwaved "cup of noodles" it's easy to admit that I miss the delectable food found on the Disney Cruise.
