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!

20 Activities for 20 year Olds

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

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...

Things I've Found on the Ground

Family and friends, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It has been a while since I've published a blog post, but after audience interest in the rekindling of the blog here I am at the 11th hour to ensure a numerical year doesn't go by without a post. I guess I've been gone because I've been busy or less inspired…I don't know. Anyways, for the past two years (and some months) I’ve taken pictures of things I find on the ground, some of them are amusing, so I’ve decided to share some and write little stories for each. So, please enjoy a small collection of photos and commentary of things I’ve found on the ground. Making Love in a Hopeless Place Where: Walmart Parking Lot When: December What: An Open Condom Wrapper Can anyone imagine a more romantic place to cement your love than a Walmart parking lot. I surely can't. Forget fireworks you have the rustle of your grocery bags in the back seat. Meanwhile the cold midnight air wafts in through your cracked windows a...
