`Dear Detroit,
I have to admit that I hated you when I first met you. I thought you were so cruel and cold, and so unlike the warm friendly Minnesota that I held in such sweet nostalgia. Like a mean step sister you taunted me with potholes, a stolen car, house fires and screaming parents as […]
Networking is one of the most awkward adult occurrences that happen, like, in life. You no longer get to meet new friends and acquaintances over a game of beer pong or hi-fiving at a football game. Instead, you subject to suit and tie- business card sharing-accolade listing- events where everyone stands around and asks what […]
Waking up Saturday I see the first peek of spring outside my town-home in Midtown. Little yellow daffodils are pushing their way out of the ground and Eastern Market is full of visitors ready for sunshine and early morning pour-overs at Trinosophes. After months in sludge, snow, and gray skies; Detroiters are ready to celebrate […]
If you tell me your job seeking I get excited and start sending you links in my spare time. Give me Starbucks and comfy insoles, and I can run a recruiting booth with a smile for hours. So after a few rounds on the recruiting block, doing resume reviews, and scrounging profiles, I wanted to […]
We are the generation of laziness, self-entitlement, and over-stimulation. One would suspect that sitting through an hour-long concert or strolling through a museum and NOT taking a selfie, would be a psychological battle that few Millennials would want to endure. However, despite our negative archetypes and our cell phone appendages, cultural events nationwide have seen […]
As a new transplant to the city, one of my favorite things is the never-ending discoveries in Detroit! From a fun warehouse day at The Detroit Dart Club to learning the art of letterpress at Salt and Cedar , the city is a treasure chest of activities and events – but often times it can […]

This winter break I hunted for bears. Well…okay there were no traps, or guns, or bears for that matter, but try telling my six and seven year old cousins this. Once the sun had set at my Aunt’s lake house in Northern Minnesota, we strapped flashlights on our heads and went to “hunt […]
I am a junkie for retail therapy. When I feel down and out, there is no better fix than a $5 sale bin find at the back of a dusty Kohls store. Though some may never understand the elation of a retail fix, studies prove that retail therapy is a “real thing”. A 2014 study […]
My favorite season is finally here! While driving home from work one day I could not help but pull into a side lot and drink in the colors of autumn. It’s as if the greatest artist on Earth took a paintbrush and dipped all of the trees in delicious hues of gold, before their time […]
I have never been so exhausted physically, mentally, or emotionally in my entire life. When one imagines a first grade classroom they often picture a day full of laughter, sing-alongs, and games. But when I first stepped into the classroom, a bright eyed bushy-haired undergraduate, I was quickly smacked upside the head by reality. I […]
