May [the force be with you]
When I had finally finished my sophomore year of college I packed all my stuff up and headed home for the summer. When I got home, a few friends and I headed out to the sand dunes and I was instantly reminded of what I had been missing:

April [fools]
The day after One Day Without Shoes I had tickets to see Sara Bareilles at Interlochen. So my friend Michelle and I skipped class and headed north for the night to catch the show. We had just enough time to explore a little bit of Traverse City beforehand.

April 5th was worldwide One Day Without Shoes sponsored by TOMS shoes.
As one of the TOM's Campus Club coordinators at MSU, I helped hold the barefoot walk on campus.
We got creative with our display this year (I even painted that huge flag) and we had a decent turn out:
I am told I have an unusually large gap between my first two toes:

More of March (continued)
At the very end of March I took a train from Windsor to Toronto to couchsurf, explore the city, but most decisively to see Ellie Goulding (one of my all-time favorite singer/songwriters) in concert.
There was so much to see with my own eyes in this big city that I hardly remembered to take pictures.
Definitely didn't know that cable cars were one of the top forms of public transportation in Toronto.
Ellie's show was well worth the long trip; I was front row and I even got to meet her! Overall, the trip turned out to be a great one though i almost got stuck in Canada forever, but that's another story...

Spring Break
My Spring Break was the first full week of March. My friends Dustin, Mike, and I road-tripped out to Colorado for a week full of adventure. We drove into Boulder on Monday afternoon with plans to stay there a few days before heading into the mountains later in the week.
When we got there, Dustin's friend "mountain" Mike suggested we switch our plans and catch the snow predicted in the forecast for the mountains. So later that day we jumped back in the car and headed to Winter Park to stay with some of Dustin's other friends. The next day actually turned out to be blue bird but we didn't mind.
That night we continued our journey and traveled to stay with some of Mike's friends near Copper Mountain. The next morning we had another blue bird day at Copper. At the end of the day we had planned to continue on to Breckenridge for a third day of snowboarding. But car trouble held us down. Instead, we headed back to Boulder the next day. A beautiful day on US Highway 6.
When we to into boulder we headed straight to the face of the first Flat Iron and attempted to climb the face. Having a team of 6 it took far longer than we had anticipated. As time passed, the sun went down on the east facing cliff and so did the temperatures, leaving us to abandon the plan a few pitches up and repel back down.
The last few days we explored the town and did a little bouldering before finally getting the car fixed and heading home. Overall, it was an amazing trip well worth the gas-money!
