What I'm Geeking Out About This Week - 02/07/14

Good tidings to you all! Here's what I'm geeking out about this week! I wanted to highlight some other blogs I am into lately or have been into for a while now. Enjoy!

My friend Amanda runs this blog which chronicles her journeys fulfilling a long list of 300 goals she wants to accomplish before she turns 30. I love the idea and hope to cross some things off my lifelong to-do list before I'm 30 as well such as traveling to the West Coast and dipping my feet into the Pacific. The blog is a lot of fun as she remarks about the anecdotes from her adventures and the feelings she gets from accomplishing all the goals she set out for herself. Support her in her journey and go on your own adventure!

I was a guest on this podcast a little while back (check it out here) and it was a lot of fun to go through my story and how I seek to achieve serenity and balance amidst the chaos that is student affairs at times. The host, Conor, just hit 100 episodes recently and features interviews with professionals and graduate students from all over the country. I support his work and hope some more folks will take time to check out his podcast!

So, I may be a bit biased here but Krista is my supervisor for an internship I'm doing. That being said, she is objectively an awesome human being. We share some geeky connections and also our passion for change and the social good so I feel confident in giving her a shout-out. She is rebooting her blog and could definitely use some support from interested parties. I give her my official stamp of approval and know I'll see her blog blossom as it rightfully should.

What are some of your favorite blogs/podcasts? Let me know in the comments and I'll see you here next week!
