Easter Egg Hunts

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. There’s a wonderful reason to celebrate and be thankful, that Jesus died for our sins and rose again! I love eating a nice Easter dinner, going to church and spending time with my family. I also love participating in Easter egg hunts because of the small prizes and money that is available to find. Every year my parents always give my brothers and I a cute little Easter basket as well. This year I was involved in two egg hunts. For one, I hid the eggs and for the other I found them.

I am a peer mentor for the Dicke College of Business and this year I was tasked with hiding the eggs for our annual Easter egg hunt. They were all filled with small goodies such as candy and stress relief toys. I hid some in bushes, trees, flowers, by electrical outlets and even buried some in dirt and mulch so that only a small part was visible. Here’s one of my favorite hiding spots:


We eventually gave up finding good spots to hide all the eggs (there were a lot) and scattered them all over the lawn. The egg hunt happened relatively quickly but there were a couple of eggs that I hid which didn’t get found at all. One that I was proud of was right by the building mostly buried in mulch.

The second egg hunt I was involved in happened at my boyfriend’s house. Each year his mom hides a bunch of similar eggs, and we receive a list of each we have to find. The categories this year were pink, blue, green, orange, yellow, purple, metallic, glittery, polka dotted, striped and there was only one golden egg. We could only take one out of each category even if we found multiple. I was sadly not the winner, but I was able to find all of my required eggs. Then the hard part began, trying to find the golden egg. We were digging around in the woods behind the house and couldn’t find anything! Finally, my boyfriend’s dad had to hint that it may not be visible yet and we might want to grab some shovels. We located the spot by playing the classic game of “hot or cold” and started poking the ground. Suddenly AJ (my boyfriend’s brother-in-law) started digging at the ground with his hands and emerged victorious with the golden egg (which had $40 in it)! Apparently next year I need to be quicker. We got little prizes such as candy, bottle openers, magnets, socks and much more. This was my first year participating in their Easter celebrations and I plan to come back next year!

My Birthday Weekend Recap

 My birthday was March 21, which was a Tuesday. The week prior was Spring break, so I decided to go to Kentucky for a weekend trip with my boyfriend! The first part of our trip was in Loretto, Kentucky. We drove about 6 hours, after waking up at 7:00 in the morning. We finally made it to our destination, where we were able to get a tour of Maker’s Mark bourbon distillery. As soon as we got there, I was in awe of how green the landscape was and how many cows and horses I saw grazing in the fields. I even saw baby lambs! Attached below is a wonderful view of the grounds. We got a full explanation of how bourbon is made. It starts with a mix of grains (corn, barley and rye). The mixture must be made up of at least 51% corn. This mixture of grains gets yeast and water added to it and then gets placed in a vat to let the yeast do its job (fermentation). Once it’s ready, it gets strained and then distilled (meaning it gets purified by heating and vaporizing). The next step varies between...

A Rundown of Accounting and My Future Career

I’m a senior accounting major and have not always liked accounting. I knew I wanted to major in something easy and that paid a lot, but didn’t do much research on what possible career paths could be from accounting or how many different opportunities were available to me as a business major. I originally thought accounting was keeping track of business transactions or doing taxes and after my first accounting class I almost changed my major. Accounting was not as easy as I expected and that discouraged me. However, I survived all four years of college and can safely say I have a better understanding of what I want to do for the rest of my life. I started off taking classes in college that taught me about software such as Quickbooks and SAP, managerial accounting (with an emphasis on manufacturing companies), financial accounting, auditing and most recently tax. My professors were very proactive in answering my questions and pushing me to get an internship to help narrow down what sec...

3 Places I Want to Visit

 I love traveling. I think it’s so fun to learn about how people live in different parts of the world and even other places in the US. Today, I’ll be telling you all about 3 places I want to visit in the near future. The first place I want to visit is Salzburg, Austria. This is number one on my bucket list. My grandma, who has since passed away grew up in this beautiful city and moved to America after WW2 because she fell in love with an American soldier from Kentucky. I’d like to visit the birthplace of Mozart, the Salzburg Cathedral, check out the coffee shops/boutiques and take pictures of the beautiful mountains. The picture I’ve attached below is the Bavarian mountains surrounding Salzburg. ( https://cdn.projectexpedition.com/photos/39563touractivitycsm_berchtesgardenwatzmannlockstein_7199d73c52_sized.jpg ) A fun fact about Salzburg (from my grandma), Hitler didn’t bomb this city during WW2 because he hid his prized paintings there! The second place I would like to visit is Sa...
