Today I went downtown to the Statehouse on a little field trip to learn more about careers in government....which was pretty interesting.

Studio Dress was yesterday--the Nutcracker has finally been assembled! Now come the daily run-throughs. Maybe I'll put a schedule up of what we did during Studio Dress, but now I want to talk about my friend's birthday and what's going to happen today. So my friend turned twenty! It was incredibly...

You may have heard that Indianapolis is the Circle City but do you know where this name comes from? One reason is that our city is centered around a circle that features the 284 foot tall Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument . In case you were wondering, that is only 21 feet shorter than the Statue...

Last weekend I decided to forgo the customary Halloween activities, and instead spend a bit of time with my cousin and his wife who came up from Missouri. My older brother decided to take us on a tour of downtown, and out to eat at St. Elmo Steakhouse. Even though I've visited my brother in Indianapolis...

I have lived in Indiana for a total of 10 years (I think) and for the longest time I thought I knew everything there is to know about the Indianapolis area. Then... things like Traders Point Creamery surprise me. For my Biology class, we have been learning about food production, sustainability, and organic...

I'm a big advocate for Indy and our art scene. Think what you want about Indiana, but there is way more creativity here than people might give us credit for! Especially since I have gotten involved with the theatre scene through my internship with IndyFringe this summer, I feel like I can't even...

This weekend I experienced a little flashback to my childhood. My boyfriend's little brother came up to stay, so my Saturday was spent hanging out with the boys at various fun spots around Indy. During the afternoon we went to Greatimes, a "family fun park" filled with go-karts, arcade...

If you weren't watching ABC tonight, you might not know that the series finale of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition featured my adopted home, Indianapolis, and our very own Butler University! What an emotional episode. I don't think anyone could watch that show and not be moved by the story of the...
