Why I’m taking a break from Facebook
“Did you see what so and so posted on Facebook?” is the beginning of many conversations I have with my family and I have to remind them, “No, I’m not on Facebook right now,” and then they tell me about so and so’s baby/wedding/cat video and try to encourage me to get back on FB. Besides the […]
Finding inspiration
I am not much for going to the gym to work out, mostly because I feel awkward and I don’t like to be inside. With the exception of going to the climbing gym. That’s always fun! I do love to walk though, I could walk for hours. When I was in England last month we […]
From seed pack to pasta
This week I made pesto for the first time with my grandma. The basil we used was grown in group effort. I planted it from seed a few months ago. I had so much of it that I gave some seedlings to my grandma. While I was in England my mom lovingly watered all of my […]
You can’t take the Seattle out of this girl
You will never know anyone until you ask them where they come from. We are born from our surroundings – the people, culture and locations that we come from influence every part of our being. I grew up in the Seattle area, I bleed ocean and snow capped mountains. I love where I come from, […]

A year ago I met Blakely
Today I realized it has been exactly a year since I started taking classes on Blakely Island! I had been there for a field trip once before, but it was during the summer that Blakely changed my life. I have always had a bit of anxiety about, well, almost everything, and I contribute the lessening […]
Blakely Island Field Station
Seattle Pacific University has a field station located on Blakely Island in the San Juans. They offer several summer courses for undergraduate students. Last summer I took courses in marine ecology, forest ecology, and environmental physiology. They also offer many courses for non-science majors, such as marine biology and astronomy! The atmosphere here is incredible! […]
Graduation, a new chapter and a new beginning
Several weeks ago I was thinking ahead to the idea of graduating. I was excited to finish school and begin exploring other parts of life, but the idea of leaving friends and SPU behind made me upset. I was finally making really good friendships here. I was sad that we would all be saying goodbye […]
