A TRIP TO LONE PINE FARMS
Clumps of pumpkins, in varying shapes and sizes, cling to their vines at Eugene’s beloved Lone Pine Farms. Visitors decide between taking the scenic route past the farm animals, while pushing wagons to bring their choice of pumpkins back, or enjoying the tractor and horse drawn rides offered. In the distance, a packed horse drawn ride takes families around the farm grounds.
A visitor at Lone Pine Farm’s holds up a Honeycrisp Apple in awe of it’s size. The apple weighed over one pound and was delicious once eaten. The market included of a variety of fresh, mouth-watering fruits and vegetables to choose from.
The “Country Roller Coaster Cow Train Trail Ride” is a highlight for pumpkin patch-goers. On a huge hilly field next to the corn maze, the Cow Train loads up squealing kids to take them for a bumpy ride.
The petting barn is a fairly new addition to Lone Pine Farms and deems to be extremely popular. From chickens to bunnies to sheep and goats, there are plenty of furry friends to pet and feed.
Next to the pumpkin patch the many acres of filbert trees can be found. With hazelnuts and fallen autumn leaves on the ground, children explore by sprinting down the shaded aisles. One visitor climbs into the branches of a filbert to get a better look at her surroundings.
SWOT Analysis
For my SWOT Analysis, I was instantly eager to compare and contrast two of my favorite music blogs. I am so inspired and passionate about the music industry and talented artist’s out there. I chose to analyze both Pretty Much Amazing and Nialler9. I recorded my analysis in the format of a powerpoint presentation

Mini Autobiography
It is not every day that I get the chance to reflect on my own life. But as I look back, I see the growth and the joy that only greatens with every day, shaping me into the strong, creative, independent person that I pride myself in.
I find that people are shaped by memories, thoughts, and experiences. But through this, I notice that I am also moved by the strong passion I have, and always will have, for living. Even at an early age, I had this constant need to create something beautiful and lasting. Being the middle child, I often found myself feeling stuck and trapped between a sibling who exceeds in academics and one who excels in athletics; but through this, I was driven, inspired, and pushed to succeed and make a name for myself.
Living in a very stable, healthy home with a family who will do whatever they can to help you succeed, ultimately shapes who I am. I learned quickly to be appreciative of the natural beauty of the world around me and the people within my life. Even at a young age, those close to me took note of my strong desire to create and find good in all situations.
Music and art are the driving forces behind everything that I do. As a born and raised Oregonian, I find beauty in every rainy day, the falling of leaves, and the talented people who also call this place home. I am inspired by words and colors. My entire life I was constantly writing—poems, short stories, novels—but it was not until high school that I realized art was my calling card. As I began to win art contest after art contest, scholarship after scholarship, I started to morph these talents with the changing world around me. Putting aside the paintbrushes and pencils, I slowly began studying lines, colors, and type. Before long, I was finding myself wildly passionate about the world of design.
With this, I packed my bags and headed to Eugene, Oregon; track town USA and home of the Ducks. Cheering against my OSU Beaver’s family, I found myself active in all aspects of life here and really growing. As the current chapter of my life is coming to an end, I find myself ecstatic with the new adventures and experiences I am soon to make once I enter the real world. As long as I am creating something I am passionate about, and surrounded by beautiful people in an inspiring city, I know that I can only succeed.
When I am not a studying advertising student, I am an adventurer, a passionate music festival attendee, a book worm, a blogger, an involved sorority member, a movie junkie, and a lover of life.
To me, it is all about the little things in life.
