Wow, what a year it's been.
Really there's not much that hasn't changed.
Starting off in the new year of 2014, I still lived with Paige in our cute little loft apartment in downtown Saint Paul. Sisters for life, roomies maybe not so much. But none the less, we had a great time. I was still spending most of my time onstage or working, both at Brix and Gap; I spent my down time on stage at Ashland in Urinetown and YPC in Junie and the annual fundraiser performance, Cattle Call. Life was pretty routine.

In August that all changed when I moved to downtown Chicago to attend Columbia College, which has been the best decision I've made so far.

Since then I have learned the ways of the CTA (the Chicago public transportation of choice), found a job just a seven minute walk away as a barista at Argo Tea, explored the concert scene, investigated the best coffee shops, and of course am learning so many new things in all of my classes.

Taking on Chicago.

I am studying Public Relations, but am taking classes in other things as well, such as advertising and photography. I am thoroughly excited to see what kind of career my future holds.

The biggest joy of my move to Chicago is the amazing people that surround me. Columbia is full of such talented and beautiful people that I am proud to call my friends. Musicians and filmmakers alike, each one inspires me to pursue my passions just as intensely as they are.

Who knows where this next year in Chicago will take me, but I am beyond excited to find out.
