Yep you guessed it – this is the obligatory, cliche, overdone, yet necessary end of year post. I haven’t written much this year, simply because…what was there for me to write? This year I felt confused, lost, lonely, angry, nervous, and unsure. Writing felt like a daunting task I couldn’t even manage. My voice didn’t […]
Today is my 27th birthday. Which is wild to me because I can still so vividly remember my birthday last year…sitting in an airport, crying pretty regularly. Yet, that birthday seems so far away, too. This last year has thrown in some amazing ups and a few major downs. I’ve witnessed friends get married, welcome […]
This past week I was a guest lecturer at my alma mater to speak about Bullet Journaling with their Advising, Retention, and Career Center. While putting together my presentation, I thought about tips and tricks, words of advice, and sharing some of my favorite spreads. Sometimes, I can say something that may sound inspirational, but […]
Tomorrow I turn 26. And I recognize for so many people they’re thinking “wow she’s so young!” but, holy moly, I’M GETTIN’ UP THERE. Am I stressed about being 26? A little. Am I wishing I could relive 25? Absolutely not. This year has been one for the books. I got a promotion at work, […]
Hello stranger friends, We haven’t met but since you all follow my friend Casie I think we will get along just fine. I’ll give you a little intro before I jump into such an important aspect of my life. My name is Ellie, I’m 25 years old, and have been living in Utah for almost […]
Seven years. That’s how long I’ve been “single”. I put quotations marks around the word single, because before I was dumped over a text message, I was “in a relationship” with a guy who lived almost 1,000 miles away. See, my family moved from Texas to Minnesota when I was in high school and after […]
I spent ten days with my friends in a different country and I saw them for more than I ever have. First off, I would like to note that the owner of this blog, Casie Kamph, could not make it on this particular group trip. Although I am deeply disappointed she couldn’t join in our […]
I didn’t post last week. It was the Fourth of July and everything just felt crazy. I didn’t want to take time to write on my blog. And after weeks on end posting regularly, I found it weird that after taking a week off I still didn’t feel like posting and I didn’t miss it. […]
Holy moly, today I turn 25…I’m a QUARTER CENTURY OLD (Thanks Amy for that lil reminder). Every year I like to reflect on what I’ve learned since my last birthday and each year it brings me a lot of joy seeing how much I’ve grown, how weird I’ve stayed, and how deeply in love with […]
“Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.” – Shiv Khera Yesterday I decided I wanted to take a day to be intentionally positive. Meaning, I wanted to, no matter what, keep a positive mindset and outlook on whatever life threw at me. I knew this would be particularly difficult to do on […]
