Round Trip Roundup: OCTOBER

Okay, wow. I didn’t change my calendars to November until, like, November 3 and honestly forgot about a roundup post that I’ve been doing every month for years. Ever have those seasons where you just feel a bit off? I relate on a deeply spiritual level. This month was stacked with late-night magazine productions, little sleep, Halloween celebrations and lots of feels for the next chapter known as graduation, which is peeping its scary little head around spring’s corner. Alas, this month I’ve been reminded of my humanity, which isn’t my favorite thing. I’m pretty much Super Woman, right?...

Round Trip Roundup: SEPTEMBER

It was one of those months where I felt I needed at least 25 hours in a day to accomplish everything. My school schedule has been incredibly taxing and left little room to breathe. Fortunately, I had some fun and restful moments throughout the month including the Jonas Brothers concert (!) and a weekend retreat. In all my spare time (jokes), I’ve been toiling away at my next big project, which is set to launch in October. Eep! Here’s my top 5 for the month of September: 1. Weekend retreat I felt like a sleepwalking zombie for the majority...

Round Trip Roundup: AUGUST

Curled up in bed after leaving the office at 10:30 that night, brain still wired. Eyes closed, yet mind fully on. My month of August saw 10-hour days, a road trip from Texas to Missouri and the start of a new semester. Woof. These next few months will swarm with busyness, and it’s taking everything in me to choose a grateful attitude. (Thank you to my roommates for keeping me accountable on choosing gratitude!) I’ve had to take some steps back and remind myself that I’m human, the ball will be dropped, and I can’t do everything. In August,...

I Signed Up for a Hot Yoga Class By Accident

And it was hell. Moments after walking in, I had a feeling this would be one of “if it’s not a good time, it’s a good story” moments. I’d signed up for this Power Flow session through my Class Pass app because I had a few extra credits but not enough to take another beloved Barre class. Hey, I wanted to put my money and time to good use. Alas, the description said be prepared to sweat, but a more accurate blurb would’ve said “be prepared for your body to produce a light rain of sweat.” As I stepped...

My Lifetime Bucket List

There’s that Susan Sontag saying about how she hasn’t been everywhere, but it’s on her list. And I can’t resonate more. You’d think that the more you travel, the more satisfied you’d be. Wrong — you end up craving even more adventures. I’ve crossed 11 countries off my list, but I have another 180-something more countries to go. Today I’m sharing my lifetime travel bucket list. Recently, I started typing out my running bucket list in the notes section of my phone because writing out your goals makes them more concrete. Today I’m sharing my running bucket list with...

Round Trip Roundup: JULY

Learning to be present is an art. If you’re anything like me, you often fall into the black hole called “the grass is greener on the other side.” The month of July intermingled both rich adventure and deep homesickness. As I scrolled through this month’s photos, I was taken aback at how many new things I did from binge watching an entire TV show in two weeks (more on that later) to all the new restaurants I tried. It’s easy to focus on my many longings while being away this summer: I miss my friends, I miss my family,...
