Living near an airport is one of the best and the worst things in my life. I live right by General Mitchell International Airport (Milwaukee Airport, Mitchell International, I think right now they’re talking about changing the name of it again.). Yes. An International airport, walking distance from my house. I used to work on …
If you’re like me, you probably work full time. Or work enough jobs and hours where you technically work full time. We all know that our vacation days and weekends are sacred. The way my vacation time works is it’s in a “bank”. It is used for Vacation, Illness, and Personal. Which some people think …
As I work on my upcoming blog post about how Studying Abroad Changed The Whole Course of My Life, I couldn’t concentrate. The place that had forever changed my life had been on fire this past week. And as I’m a continent away, I feel it. I watched as this miraculous Cathedral built over the …

The holidays may be coming to an end, but someone’s birthday is fast approching! (For me, we celebrate the Epiphany, so my gift-giving season is not quite over yet!) You know what that means!
