Parking Day

Image
By
        Since, I am officially majoring in interior design we have lots of creative projects. One of the most fun projects that we have had is Parking Day.
        Parking Day comes from the idea that a parking space is an area that you can rent for a few hours, however the item inside the space can be anything, its just that people typically put cars in there. With this information we were challenged to create an opportunity for positive social engagement inside of a parking space.
        We were each assigned a group and theme, ours was Education. After a failed attempt my group and I settled on educating people on Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. Kusama works heavily in art involving dots. One of her displays, Obliteration Room, is a white room and people are encouraged to place multicolor stickers all over the room. We recreated this by having a pop up tent with white table cloths stretched over two sides to create a corner. We also had white butcher paper on the floor to create space. Participants then were able to cover the area with the stickers we provided.
       We were also able to visit the other Parking Day set ups which was fun because there were dogs. All in all it was a great success and very fun!

20 Activities for 20 year Olds

By
Good Morning Family and Friends! Recently I have been incredibly bored, hopefully my online classes will entertain me more. I have previously stated that I wasn’t practicing social distancing or whatever, however my mom has been making me stay inside more often and now Colorado is on lockdown. I looked up activities for 20 year olds and didn’t find anything, I guess people make these lists for stay at home moms with young children. So, I decided to make my own list for you, the audience, if you’re bored (which if you’re reading this you probably are) and looking for something to do. Read Woah, how original...read. I don’t read for pleasure often. In the summer I read The Great Gatsby  and I usually read one of Father Greg Boyle’s books some other time in the year. I also read my Vogue magazines. Two books and a magazine isn’t that much. However, since there is more time to do stuff, I figured I could read more. My brother gave me The Princess Bride to read, I’ve read a lit...

The Best Experience of my Young Life: Casa Bonita

By
      I read an article by Westword that read if Disneyland and Tijuana had a baby and left it to fend for itself in a strip mall on Colfax, it’d be Casa Bonita. I finally got to experience this gem with some of my friends, Nai and Hannah, who have also been eager to try the restaurant out.       We pulled into the packed parking lot of Casa Bonita that stood in the same shopping complex as two dollar stores and a kids dental office next door. People surrounded the outside as the fountain splashed and I took photos as rapidly as a mom on Christmas morning. This was it, the best of themed dining experiences. We entered into a very confusing entryway and found the line, but first we stopped by the bathroom, which happened to be very nice. We stood in the red velvet roped line with other epicures, such as ourselves, waiting to order at the register. The line was dark, but illuminated by Corona neons, a sign with the words “Easto Much, Peso Little”, a vi...

Guest Post: Boys, Friendships, and Knowing who You are by Harriet Alove

By
            I invited a close friend of mine to write a post about whatever she desired. Harriet Alove (pen name) reflects on boys and finding who she is while in college.  ------------------------------             Much like Katherine since I have been at college I have noticed a lot of new different things. I am no longer coddled by the Jesuits, no more Kairos, no more of my sisters passing me in the hallways while I’m having a meltdown during class and having them sit and talk with me ‘till I feel better. Going to one of the largest state universities in the country has truly shell shocked me. Having ‘theology of the body’ as the most of a sex ed class I’ve had, to oddly having more knowledge about Myer’s Briggs types thanks to Mr. Cook’s junior theology. However, what has shocked me the most is how lost I have felt about myself. I’m no longer a swimmer, a good old Catholic girl going to ...
