Tweet Well it’s finally here, my favorite time of year, FALL! Fall has always been my favorite season. It reminds me of going to my grandma’s cottage when I was younger and having campfires with roasted marshmallows, jumping in piles of leaves, apple picking, hot chocolate, carving pumpkins and of course trick or treating. Now

Experiences Really Are Life-Changing
Tweet There are many things that have influenced who I am today. I think the whole college experience had a huge influence on me. Even though I didn’t go very far, River Falls, Wisconsin (only about 45 minutes from where I grew up), I was in a different state and a different state of mind

Admiration is Closer than You Think
Tweet It is hard to pinpoint just one person that I admire. There are so many people that I admire for different reasons. A lot of the people I admire have something to do with my interests. They are runners, writers, journalists, musicians, actors, athletes, activists, chefs, and more. Sometimes the people you admire the

Lessons For My Future Self
Tweet This letter is to my future self, kind of like a short term time capsule. It may seem a little intimate, but thats how I like to talk to my hypothetical future self. Hey loser-nerd-brosef, It’s probably been a strange, long time, since you’ve thought of me. I’m you, from the past. You’ve had

The Best Advice I Ever Received: Patience is a Virtue and it’s a Virtue You Want to Have
Tweet In general, I have found that people like to give advice. They like to give you advice about your career, your friends, your goals…. the list is infinite. This is especially true when you are going through a life change, like graduating college. When I graduated college the best advice that I received was,

Finding The Good Advice
Tweet I find myself bombarded with advice as a recent college grad. People always feel the need to warn or direct you in a particular manner to save you from heartache that they may have encountered. To this I (and most others in my position) choose to have selective hearing. With your parents you listen

“Who the hell’s going to read the second paragraph?”
Tweet Last semester I took a reporting class with Professor Miles Maguire. To be honest, I was terrified. I had him as a professor in a previous class and it was very, very difficult. I’ve never really had to work for a “B” before, but I was so happy when I saw that was the grade on my

My profession is my obsession.
Tweet As a young designer, inspiration is our lifeblood. In school, part of a project was solely devoted to extensive research of present and past work. To know what is popular now and to know what stands the test of time is important. To sort through the trivial, copied, over-done styles and sift through to

I Hit the Halfway Mark! Hooray!!
Tweet I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for Brandkit for 8 weeks already! Time sure does fly! This year, one of my New Year’s resolutions was to blog every week for one year. I started my own blog and, as I thought, it’s been a little neglected since I started writing for Brandkit. But that’s
