Initially, I planned on staying home this past weekend, but when I realized that I will be losing two weekends later down the line, I hopped on the chance to go to a place that’s always been on my bucket list: Washington, DC. Continue reading “Monumental Moments”
First, I switched fonts again! Moving on:
I was so excited to return to my second home this weekend, but my plans came to a complete halt when I had to be rolled over onto a later flight with a longer flight time. Of course the one place I needed to fly to made me experience the woes of standby, right? Upon arrival to LA, unfortunately there was a car accident at LAX which, combined with post-5pm traffic, kept me at the airport for nearly an hour.
Now I know I always talked about how much I didn’t want to live in LA, and, after Friday night, that is still true. I really missed my friends though, so I can’t say I wasn’t bummed to find out I literally had 24 hours in the city. However, I was able to salvage some of my time and spend time with a few amazing friends! Continue reading “LA For a Day”
After nearly two months of winter break (considering I didn’t have finals), I started my spring internship with Southwest Airlines this week! On Monday, we had orientation and it was unlike any orientation I have attended before. Of course, we did go through a lot of general and company information, but the order of events really kept us alert.

Before–and since–I started my internship, I have received a series of questions from friends and family about the specifics, so I figured that I should dedicate this post to answering those questions: Continue reading “Welcome Aboard!”
Happy Sunday!
When I was younger, I never explored my city. This was mostly because I couldn’t drive until I graduated, and all we ever wanted to do as teenagers was meet up on the street near our school and feel like we were actually doing something. In actuality, we were mostly just going to the same places to eat, but those are some of my fondest memories. Now, I’ve made it a point to create some new memories in new parts of Dallas as an adult.
Going into Dallas is never an enjoyable drive, but it feels really cool to now go there on a whim. I feel like I can do more now that I am not only 21, but out of college. I can’t explain why, but I feel this sense of freedom in having completed school and entered “the real world.” I feel this part of my life is a new chapter where I am creating personal memories for myself. This week, however, I didn’t have to share this memory alone. Continue reading “Hipster Heaven”
