Is this how birds feel when they fly?

Moving to a ski town for the winter really only means one thing: Ski is life. The mountain resorts incentivize you to work with them in exchange for a free season pass, locker storage and big discounts on brands. And what more could you ask for? It is the perfect winter job. I had only […]

Camp when you’re young!!!

I always thought there were two types of people in the world, people who like to camp and people that don’t. But, what factors play into this so-called stereotype? and what don’t. The bottom line is everyone enjoys to be comfortable when they sleep, sleep accounts for 80% of your health. Getting the right amount […]

Stargazing

Taking pictures is an art. Whether it’s finding that perfect angle so the lighting illuminates the face or focusing the camera just right to snap that bunny charging by. Photography has become a highly skilled hobby. Practice truly making it perfect in this case. The more you practice, the faster you are. Quickness in photography […]

When you are looking, you find what you’re looking for

Finding your first shed is a big deal, it’s like a coming of age in Wyoming. There is something about the natural life process and getting to take a souvenir from it that excites you. Antlers grow from scratch on an animals head, and are discarded each year. Contrasted to the horns that goats and […]

Population and Individual Health

Social influences have crazy impacts on people’s health. I always (somewhat) knew that, but not this directly. Did you know there’s such thing as population AND individual health? (Ya, thats right you need to worry about not only your own health but also the total health of the society you are a part of, too.) […]

Cheers to the years

I just finished typing my last research paper of undergraduate school. It was the most i have ever procrastinated on such a big assignment, and I found myself wondering why. Somehow I finished scarily early for my usual timing, too. Next week I will take my last exams, ever (until I change my mind and […]

Are you normal?

Social norms I have never questioned, but should have Americans are best at doing something their whole life and not even knowing why, never questioning it. When I was little girl and would ask my mom the question why she would reply with, “because I told you so!” Humans take great pride over their traditions […]

Nature is the best medicine

Is it true are we happier when it’s sunny? Calmer in the middle of the woods? Less stressed in the mountains? Whenever I was feeling down my brother would always tell me, “go outside.” Sadly, there aren’t many trails explore or mountains to hike up in the center of the state. But, I was fortunate […]

Trains, Planes, and Cars. Oh My!

Why trains are better than planes, and cars. My worst quality is my motion sickness. It doesn’t matter where we are the mountains, beach, my neighborhood. Or what it is car, boat, train or plane. Motion due to movement of a vehicle causes me extreme nausea. A consequence of this I was always afraid to […]
