The Katherine Kazette

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...

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...

     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...

     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 ...

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...

Happy 4th of July! I originally wrote this for the 4th, but now it’s the 28th, oh well. For a little patriotic fun I compiled a list of the hottest presidents. Some of them are complete surprises because you probably didn’t even remember that they were president. Nonetheless, many were bonafied studs during the good ol’ days. And not only did I just add images of the presidents, but also wrote a miniature history lesson because I got so interested in them during my research. I also think that we really don’t respect our politicians nowadays, so I thought that it’d also be nice to add objective things they all did well during their presidency. Enjoy !  John “Jack” Fitzgerald Kennedy Who doesn’t love JFK? He is so handsome and good looking. Don’t get me wrong he had his faults, especially with women. However, his hair was so fluffy, his face chiseled, and he had dreamy eyes. He enjoyed swimming and was on the first Harvard men’s swim team to defeat Yale. His preppy, picturesque...
