My first encountering with a working woman wasn't until I was older. I was a lucky kid, my parents had it worked out so that my mom could stay at home and raise the six hellions. She was with us constantly, and I wouldn't change it for the world. Growing up, I thought that I... Continue Reading →
Mormon Culture: I’ve Got a Feeling…
As a #TrueMillennial sometimes it is hard to feel like a real adult. Perhaps we would act more adult like if we were treated that way. Last night I attended a Young SINGLE Adult ward activity. Don't get me wrong, the activity was well planned and the people in attendance were all pleasant. I just... Continue Reading →
“Women Should…”
My friend Rica sent me this article and said I should write a blog on it. I was thoroughly disappointed with my results upon my experimentation of using Google Auto-complete. I don't know what upset me more the picture included in the article or what I found when I went to Google and started to... Continue Reading →
PART OF THE RISE OF MY GENERATION
I can distinctly remember when my 7th grade teacher explained that when we grew up most of our careers would be jobs that didn't exist today. It was mind boggling as I tried to wrap my head around the new concept, but all I could think was I want to be in one of those... Continue Reading →
A True Millennial
I recently graduated from Utah State University with my Bachelors degree. I am a classic Millennial, definitely a narcissist, and not afraid of telling you that I am moving back into my parents house... At least it's not the basement, it's the top floor! Growing up, my dreams never included bunking it up with the... Continue Reading →
Our Foundation is Firm, but is our Agency?
Today I had the opportunity to listen to General Conference. It is something that happens every 6 months, that the LDS faith participates in. Many of the talks were centered on the roles of a man and a women. I was happy that the church was clarifying these roles because of the beliefs that other... Continue Reading →
Newspaper Famous…
Here at Utah State I have had multiple opportunities to get involved. This was one of my favorites. I was invited to speak on a Panel of Women in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math). I don't have a direct degree in any of these, but I do focus on Technology, in the Social...

Gendered From Birth
I am coming to the end of my final semester... Only 43 days until I get to put on the classic black robes and receive my degree. I am currently taking my last Women's and Gender class so I can obtain a Certificate in the subject. Our assignment was to go find pictures and a... Continue Reading →
Skirts Are So Opressive…Said No One Ever
op·pres·sive /əˈpresiv/ Adjective Unjustly inflicting hardship and constraint, esp. on a minority or other subordinate group. I was in a deep sleep this morning when I received a text at such as ghastly hour, 9:00 am. After chastising my sister Emily for contacting me so early, I got to her question... "Are you wearing pants... Continue Reading →
Curse of Being a Wallflower
I was flipping through the Utah Statesman when I found this gem. If you have seen the actual movie PERKS of Being a Wallflower you will understand that it was kind of a curse. I thought it was a great movie, for a hipster...It was definitely a heart wrenching tale of a boy with a... Continue Reading →
