21 Birthdays

My birthday was the other day and this is year was a big one, 21! I can finally participate in every drinking, gambling, and that's it I think. However I don't desire to do those things. My genetics are soaked with alcohol and addiction. I know too many stories about people who have struggled with addiction and made, in my eyes, bad decisions, so I don't really want to participate in that. Anyways, since this is a big birthday I wanted to go back down memory lane and recall memories associated with my birthdays. Since I don't drink I'd appreciate it if you took a water shot with me!  For my first birthday I was in Kansas. I don't remember this one, but from stories and photos this is what happened. Anyways, I was baptized Episcopalian the day prior and apparently my parents woke up like an hour before it started. The next day I celebrated my birthday at my grandma's house, while we slept over at my grandpa's manor. I had a cake to eat, but my family didn...

A Comprehensive Guide to My Celebrity Crushes

Good Morning! I thought it would be fun to write a comprehensive guide to my many celebrity crushes over the years. Some of them are pretty popular paramours, while others aren't typically thought of when the word "heartthrob" is brought up, and some you probably forgot exist. I listed them in order of when I began liking them. I also added photos of each heartthrob as well as why I liked them or a memory regarding them .  I noticed while compiling this list that as I grew older I began to like boys for how they seem to act and who they seem to be instead of solely their looks. I also noticed that many of them have similar features. Anyways, enjoy! Jesse McCartney  Who didn't love Jesse McCartney?! I remember liking him around 2007. In a diary (I'm a big diary girl) I had I wrote that I had a crush on Jesse McCartney and Shia LeBouf. I had taken my diary to the kitchen to show my mom what I had written. She was on the phone talking with her friend Alicia. I put th...

Katherine's 7th Grade Diary: I Wish I Were Homeless

Good Afternoon! Thanksgiving is coming sooner than later and this diary entry is a great way to get in the Thanksgiving mood (kind of). I hope you all find this diary entry as funny as I do. It's certainly one of my favorites. It's just so politically incorrect and so in my bubble. Enjoy! Black Friday! Today's black Friday and you know at least 1+ person dies from being trampled by crowds. Yesterday, was Thanksgiving, we ate Turkey, Green beans casserole (w/ crushed Funyons), stuffing sweet potatoes (w/ marshmallows), mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and cranberry ginger ale. And Pumpkin Pie! No cornbread.  Missy Franklin was serving thanksgiving dinner to the homeless. I wish I were homeless, I could see her. I'm upset with her because the letter didn't work out. The lines before black Friday are full of idiots.  I wonder what Jake's doing for Thanksgiving? Commentary Well, I like the first page and thankfully people likely won't be trampled this upcoming ...

The Best Podcasts You Haven't Heard

     Podcasts are poppin' right now. People love to listen to people talk and people love to hear themselves talk, thus podcasts are created. So many people have begun podcasts, even I have tried to do a podcast, but I didn’t think it was very good. So, with podcasts being so popular I thought I’d list some podcasts that I enjoy. These are relatively small podcasts compared to Joe Rogan’s and anything related to crime, but that is no issue as these are just as educational and entertaining (probably, I don’t listen to crime podcasts as I get too scared and I don’t actually know who Joe Rogan is). The Catholic Feminist Podcast      I also enjoy The Catholic Feminist Podcast. I love this podcast because it's so educational, interesting, and helps me understand and open my eyes to Catholic stances and stories on social justice and other topics! It's super welcoming, non judgmental, and a podcast where it's okay to ask questions and not know everything. De...

Life Updates and Life Plans

     Morning Upper East Siders....I thought that would be a fun way to start the blog today. Anyways hello. I would first like to give a BIG shout out to my Aunt Kim and my Step Grandma Charlie! Thank you to you both for reading my blog posts (way more than my parents do) and leaving detailed and considerate comments on Facebook! Hopefully, these two ladies can inspire you to give me more attention read, laugh, and explore another point of view! Anyhow, I thought it would be a good idea to write about and update everyone about what I am currently doing in life, especially since many college students have such different plans with COVID-19 being present. Also, since I’m less than two years away from graduation I wanted to share some of my many tentative plans of what I’m thinking for life after college! Life Update     Currently I am a junior in college majoring in Interior Architecture and Design, however I’m planning to change to Construction Management ...

Katherine’s 7th Grade Diary: Frosting Lips

Well, this diary entry is long, but I think it's chock full of silly memories and confusing thoughts! Once again, the typed part is verbatim and doesn't include the proper grammar or spelling in order to match the diary closely! So Enjoy!  Recap of Last Month: Trick-or-Treating had a ball (pretty scared they all drugged my candy) Election: Obama won Little mermaid show:OS (Olympic Swimmer, Missy Franklin) didn't show she had to choose a college. It seems like Jake likes me Went to Via Baci w\ connor and Lindsay Tomorrow's Thanks giving *Lance’s Robotic Competion (Daddy and I explored Westminiser High School) Yesterday at school (11/20) was fine. The 6th graders were gone on a field trip, so only half of the 7th graders had the lunchroom and playground to ourselves.  At Lunch Nai asked me "Do you like George?" I made a disgusting face at that.  Then, I said "No! I like someone else."  "Oh yeah" said Naomi Then she shouted "Katherine Mic...

Katherine’s Nature Tips

During quarantine I became interested in bears and how my father grew up on the western slope of Colorado. With this came questions regarding what he learned in school since he didn’t grow up like I did, in suburbia. He learned survival skills like how to send smoke signals, woodworking, skiing, hunting, finding water, and etcetera. This peaked my interest and I researched more about these survival skills, so here are two that I feel pretty well versed in. Please keep in mind I’m not an expert or liable if you get hurt. Finding Water This tip I actually got to use recently, so that’s exciting! It’s very important to find clean water because of the plethora of dangerous diseases and bacteria that can be found and make you sick. Ideally you should purify it, but if you can’t and you need to find water this what you need to do. First you need to find a water source (duh) in an isolated area (away from population and grazing animals) at a high elevation. Ensure it flows downward and at a q...

Katherine’s 7th Grade Diary: Two Introductions

“This is a remarkable book. Written by a young girl- and the young are not afraid of telling the truth.”  - Eleanor Roosevelt, in regards to another famous diary.  When I was in seventh grade I kept a diary and I recently reread it. Boy, did it not disappoint! I found it to be hilarious and full of big dreams and even bigger emotions! Since, I found it to be funny I decided to share it with you all. Hopefully you’ll also find it funny and get a glimpse into my thoughts. In this series I’ll include my diary entries, doodles, some texts, some emails, school work, and etcetera. I also am including a scan of the actual page and the typed text just in case my handwriting is difficult to read. I changed names (unless permission was granted or they’re famous) and will redact some parts as deemed necessary. Hopefully, I’ll add some commentary too. So, without further ado these are the first two entries of my seventh grade diary. Entry 1 Dear 18 yr old Katherine,      ...
