nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm
You have probably seen this campground before in a 60-second video on Facebook. If you haven't seen it there, perhaps you've seen it on a travel blog or magazine or instagram. Havasupai is hyped up, no question. Is it worth it? Yes. Me and five of my best buds headed out to Arizona for spring [...]
Coming at you LIVE from Santa Barbara California with some good news: You are currently alive! Winter is slowly coming to an end This post has free planners Look at how cool Lizard Mouth looked last month. How do I live here?? But this isnt a post about Santa Barbara and my undying love for [...]
After a spectacular 22nd birthday, I highly encourage everyone with an awesome group of friends to think of the most obnoxious theme possible and throw a party. My theme? PINK. I think the pictures speak for themselves. My party? Landshark. It feels like ages since I have had a full birthday with a cake and [...]
If you have read Barbarian Days by William Finnegan you will have read about the neighborhood of Diamond Head, East of Waikiki, shaded by a small crater and a short distance, but it seems as if it is a lifetime away from the tacky shops and sweaty tourists. Diamond Head is where my best friend's family [...]

Here are some reflections on our time in Joshua Tree Don't go in the main entrance if you're trying to [...]
FRIENDS made my 2017. I think it is foolish to try and boil a year down into one theme or emotion, but if I had to choose what singularly made my year what it was, it was my fantastic compilation of friends. From the beginning of 2017 to the end, none of it would have [...]
Finals. They are around the corner. They are LURKING. They are merely a week away. They are NOT a definition of your self worth. They are NOT worth seriously compromising your health. They are NOT going to ruin your month if you don't let them. Now is the time I like to practice some zen [...]
I am a college fanatic. I am also somehow a senior, and it feels like I am asked amidst every day if I have some general advice. To be honest, I could talk all day, but I do have some tips that I didn't really hear as a freshman. All of these things have been [...]
I took this picture with my GoPro at the end of August off the island of Langkawi on a scuba diving trip. I think it describes the first 1/3 of my senior year perfectly. It may make no sense- but I'd like to look back on this someday, so I'll share anyways. First of all, [...]
