Interesting Shit

Hello friends :)

Before I dive into some fire posts let me give you my life in a nutshell for those that don’t know who I am or anything about me.

I am clumsy, oblivious to just about everything, very gullible (I ain’t no bitch), and sarcastic always but never beat around the bush. I am a big believer in empathy and doing what you love. I do literally every outdoor activity and I love traveling, food and fitness. You guys remember the book “A series of Unfortunate Events”? Yeah that’s my life.. but I love it and learned the best way to live is to not give a fuck… but actually give a fuck in the end. Sounds crazy right? Sleep on it. You’ll be on the same page as me. In a crazy world you have to be a little crazy.

Anyways…

I grew up in hick-town USA where there are more cows than people and we hang out at Walmart for fun. Rowdy rednecks and boosin’ is the motto here but that’s the way I like it. Floating down creeks, getting pulled in a sled by a tractor in the middle of a corn field, and rippin’ lips (fishing) are a few activities of choice. Everyone knows everyone and that’s the way it should be.

Our high school had heaters that only worked in the summer and air conditioning that worked only in winter. We all tried to “fit in” and took extreme measures just to find that one sucker to go to a dance with us. Once we kind of figured it out, we basically went to high school everyday becuase we had to. And in the end, it was a failed experiment to get us prepared for the “real world”.

After high school I chose to go to West Virginia University. Yes, we burn couches, ride in the bed of a truck everywhere and drink “just because”. Fast forward through a few years of fun, exams, and ibuprofen and I am now entering my senior year. I’ve had the best experiences in college, but will talk more about that in future posts :)

I’ve worked just about every type of job: from mowing lawns to B2B sales and everything in between. I have a lot of experience in the restaurant world (about 5 years), business (currently in business school) and the fitness industry (lifting since out the womb!!). I know that means nothing but at 21 years old I have more under my belt than most people my age or even older and I’m looking to manifest what goes through my head, not expert opinion.

Through these posts I want to share my 3 cents, personal experiences and stories on anything I find interesting or important topics people like to avoid. I ultimately want to show my journey to give a piece of mind. If you can relate, the topic gets you thinking, or if it motivates/ inspires you even better!


Anything you want to hear about? Comment and I’d be happy to talk about it! Stay tuned for my next post about the “C” word…

Thanks for reading :)
