Home Means Reno

Well, my second home away from home.

1. You have mountains to look at all day long.

There is something so comforting being surrounded by the mountains. And it is first thing I tell people when they ask what I love about Reno.

2. There are cute coffee shops everywhere you go.

Bibo, Hub Coffee Roasters, The Purple Bean, Homage, and Global Coffee are just a few of the many coffee shops that each offer a unique vibe to customers, and are a contributing factor to why Reno is so great.

3. Tahoe is less than an hour away.


Doesn't matter the time of year, Tahoe is always a good idea. Luckily when you live in Reno it's an easy day trip to take and a nice getaway from reality. Nothing beats killer views, the lake, trees, and mountains.


4. The views that overlook the city are incredible.


There are of course, particular spots that you can go to to overlook the city, but there is the other chance that you may be coming downhill on a road that lets you enjoy view as well--which are the best!

5. You get all four seasons.

All four seasons happen in a year. But with Reno, they could also happen in a day. Everyone who lives in Reno knows how iffy the weather can be, but besides that, it's nice that we get summer, winter, fall, and spring in full effect.

6. The community is greatly involved with UNR.

Whether it's social events or sporting events, Reno community members join in on the fun making the atmosphere a lot more energetic and alive.

7. Midtown is becoming better and better.

Midtown Reno has plans to add a bunch of new additions, but for now it has boutiques, restaurants, and other small businesses that get people out and about to try something new!

8. Majority of the people are down to earth--I dig that.

It is on rare occasion that I ever stumble upon people who seem superficial in Reno, and it is one thing I'm most appreciative of. The people are overall, genuine and I love living in a city full of people who emulate qualities that I admire.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

You know you're a true Kent Stater when...

Kent State University
Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
