Corona & Life Updates

Gotta get outta Gunnison county

Break out of Breckie

This is you if you hit the slopes.

Recently, the corona virus has been the talk of the town. I personally am not worried. My cousin has a masters degree in infectious diseases and has told my dad that it's important to continue washing your hands and not go to Aspen right now, which is pretty easy to do. I'm not quarantining myself or intentionally practicing social distancing (there's not much to do besides hanging out at home), there is still so much fun to be had outdoors and with people. I'm not stocking up on stuff because I'm sure there will be more. I'm not using hand sanitizer because in elementary school we overused it and it turned my soft, seven year old hands into cracking, bloody, dry hands. I haven't been to Aspen, but I should go because I found an $88 airbnb. I still wash my hands and my parents have had our family use disinfectant wipes on our hands. I'm not that concerned (lol, I'm probably going to get it now), obviously if you have the virus or have come in contact with someone who has the virus stay home for a while and get the correct help. I think we will be fine.

I do feel sad for those who rely on work so heavily and don't have savings and resources to live well during this time. I also feel bad for people who's study abroad trips have been cut too short. I also am sad for seniors who don't get to have their lasts. I also feel sad when churches are closed, I think that that's wild. The only thing I can somewhat compare this to was the flood in 2013, when we had school canceled and tried to prevent rain from coming into the house. I thought it was kinda fun though.

On a lighter note, since I have found myself with more time, I plan to post a blog daily, until I decide not to anymore.

I also want to update you on my life. I have classes online for the rest of the semester, so that means summer is now! I also have gotten a roommate in my apartment, it's been interesting, but I'm not there right now and probably won't be for the rest of the lease. I also lost eight pounds of weight without trying, so that's good. I'm excited to start up my summer running habit again! I also would like to study abroad in Spain this summer. Finally, I have decided to dip my toe into the pool of stand up comedy. I plan to write a separate blog about that later.

I feel like this wasn't a funny blog. Whatever.

God Bless!

What I've Learned in College: End of Freshman Year Fun part 2

Continued from Part 1 8.Cowboys are Real Cowboys are typically seen as people who used to live in the Wild West years and years ago. I honestly think that my grandfather was one of the last American cowboys. While, I wills till continue to this this, I have learned that cowboys are still real! Every once in a while, I will see an old man sporting leather cowboy boots, a blue pair of Wrangler jeans, a button down shirt, a weathered, leather belt, a leather vest, a cowboy hat, a grown out beard, and skin weathered and tan like the leather. I didn’t think people still dressed like this besides for show! This is someone’s real life outfit! I am always astonished to see people like this because I don’t see them regularly. They look like their straight off a horse in ye old west! Students even wear cowboy boots daily! It’s something else. 9. People still pressure you. I don't drink for multiple reasons, and I was under the impression that people don't pressure people i...

Major Life Advice

Recently during class I was giving an acquaintance/friend advice after being asked "How am I so happy?" and another acquaintance/friend wanted me to begin as she thought this was very important. Today I want to share part of a book (google doc) that I've been writing throughout the years that is full of advice I have received and found. Today is the Best Day of My Life This may sound crazy, but it's true, everyday is the best day of your life because you never know when life will end. I learned this from my dad who even thought it was crazy when he heard it from his friend. This advice has helped me look at the positive in every day things. For example in high school I didn't enjoy waking up around 4 am for swim practice, but when I dad told me this advice, I started thinking about it began enjoying early mornings. How lucky was I to do what I love, be awake before anyone else, talk to my friends, and laugh endlessly before the sun rose? So lucky and as ...

How I Know I’m Getting Older

Family, f riends, and reader(s?), Good afternoon and I hope this blog post finds you fabulous! It finds me writing outside of a coffee shop during my day off while a stranger sits ten feet away on a Teams Call with her dog next to her. Anyways, it’s been nearly two and a half years since my last post. What have I been up to? A lot. I graduated, got a job, was scared by a man in the dark on the eve of the 2024 Rocky Mountain Showdown and scraped my limbs leading to a permanent (I hope) scar on my left hand in, roughly, the shape of America, and I made more friends. I make myself giggle. Regarding the status of The Katherine Kazette, I don’t know if I’m going to post more often now or not, but I do need more creative outlets since graduating. I wonder if I should transfer my blog to substack. I should probably visit their website first. Also, I did use AI for the very cool anamorphs inspired image of me becoming an old lady. ...
