Things You Miss About Boise

Living in Moscow is hard.

Things You Miss About Boise

Going to college, you decided to make the five and a half hour drive north leaving family and the "Bronco Nation" behind. While you will always be a Vandal there are things that you just can't help miss from Idaho's capitol. Here is my list of things I miss about Boise.

H&M

Shopping at the Moscow mall, you only have so many options. In Boise we thank God for the plethora of shopping opportunities. One of my favorite stores has got to be H&M not only can you find things with extra swag, but affordable prices!

The Foothills

From hiking table rock to just getting an awesome view, the foothills grow on you. It is basically Boise's backyard and it's everything. One second you're in the city, the next you're in the foothills.

Bogus Basin

Northern Idaho boasts some amazing places for snowboarding and skiing but there will always be love for Bogus Basin. Nestled right near downtown Boise, it is always nice to catch some snow at home.

Boise River

While during the winter the river becomes a freezing wasteland, you can't help but miss the Boise River. Walking around the green belt, regardless of the season, or floating about during summer is one of Boise's hidden treasures.

Concerts

Whatever band you love, you are more likely to see them pass through Idaho's capitol than the small town of Moscow. We will always be grateful for Macklemore, we just still yearn for more amazing music.

Downtown Boise

Frolicking the bars from Cactus to Fatties, getting Pie Hole, to shopping at Urban, we all miss downtown Boise. While we love our town of Moscow, nothing beats the hum of our state's capital.

Restaurants

While we all have our crowd favorites in Moscow their are so many more food finds in Boise! I for one cannot wait to go back to Guru Donuts. Check out my recent trip to Boise where I tried some food eats!

Lush

While going to the bars can be a perfect reward for a hard week of work, so can an amazing bath. Lush has bright bold bath bombs and other products you just can't find anywhere else.

Home

There are a million things I could think of that I miss from Boise. The biggest thing I miss is being home in the place that I know the most and have so much history in. I miss my home, where I grew up, where my family is.

As homesickness continues to grow, remember that home is only five hours away and that it's not going anywhere. While things may change, things in Boise will always be the same, if not better. (Have you been to the village?) So take your time driving back, and as the famous E.T. said, "go home."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
