Sunday, Sunday.

"You owe it to yourself to leave the congested city 

and enjoy what nature intended you to enjoy."

 A quote from one of the first radio broadcasts 

and a lesson that I need to take into account more.

 Coming back to Minneapolis from New Zealand has 

definitely caused some extreme reverse culture shock for me.

 I went from seeing the most beautiful earth, 

exactly as God and nature intended the earth

 to swarms of people all the time.

 Sometimes it's overwhelming and I need an escape. 

Until that time I'll have to stick with the small parts of nature

 that are left in this miraculous city I call home. 

Zombie.

Saturday I participated in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul Zombie Pub Crawl.
 This was a huge event that happend around the cities. 
Tons (and when I say tons I mean thousands) of people dressed up to look like the living dead- Zombies. 
People paraded around the sidewalks and streets, jumping in front of cars, and running between the traffic, terrifying the drivers. 

A small group of friends gathered and went to the pub crawl.
 We decked ourselves with ripped clothes, face paint, and of course TONS of fake blood.
 It was all sorts of spooky fun.
 Just in time for Halloween, too. 
Just another reason to love Autumn and more specifically, October. 

Senior Year.

The first month of my senior year of college is done. 
Gone. 
No more September days in school. Crazy thought. 


Although I look forward to the future the unknown is both scary and exciting for me.

The idea of blindly wondering into the “real world” is terrifying.
 I know I will always have my parents, backing me up, but after college it’s time to really grow up. No more calling my mother or father just to cry. 
It’s time to deal with everything on my own, face the world head on. 
Terrifying.
 I never want to get too old to need my parents.

There are so many things about college that I will surly miss. Right now, it’s the football games. Even though we are officially the worst team in the Big 10 conference and perhaps even the D2 schools, there is nothing like waking up, tailgating, and pretending like we’ll have a chance this time around. Those hilarious and memorable times are limited and will surly be missed next fall when instead of day drinking on a Saturday, I will be in the ‘real world’ and doing some sort of adult-ish thing. 
YIKES!

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions “What are you going to do after graduation?” “Where are you going to be next year?” etc. the typical college senior pre-graduation questions. Honestly, I still have no idea. Ideally I would love to travel and write, similar to my blog in New Zealand. However, I’m not a dummy, I know jobs like those are far and few in-between. Just patiently awaiting a sign for what I’m meant to do.

There are many roads I would like to travel down, each leading me in a new exciting direction but ultimately what I want from life is love and happiness.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.” –Steve Jobs.
