Immediately that may conjur up a lot of negatives &#8212; best-friendships, \u00a0romantic relationships, the removal of bad vibes and people from your life &#8212; \u00a0but as an ecologist, temporary people are an integral part of our careers. The early stages\u00a0of our careers\u00a0are often seasonal and short-term, which is a hinderance\u00a0and a blessing. As soon as you learn to identify all the grasses on the range it&#8217;s time to move on, by the time you get to really know your co-workers &#8211; adios the next place is acallin&#8217;. \u00a0We\u00a0become a jack of all ecosystems (learning a little about each place we visit) and are yet to be masters at any. But, we see some of the most scenic and beautiful places and by understanding how our interactions with nature shape the land, we gain a greater appreciation for where we live. This transient-ness in the prime of our lives allows us to connect\u00a0with a lot of new people, reshape and modify our opinions, and challenge ourselves in ways we may have not expected. \u00a0As I enter my last month of working in Burns, OR I&#8217;ve been reflecting on how lucky I am that this is one of those temporary places. Therefore, I dedicate this blog to some of my favorite moments.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-66320\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Oregon-photo...8-300x97.jpg\" alt=\"Oregon photo...8\" width=\"366\" height=\"128\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_66317\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Oregon-photo...5-e1443204129792.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66317\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-66317 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Oregon-photo...5-e1443204129792-300x181.jpg\" alt=\"Oregon photo...5\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Oregon-photo...5-e1443204129792-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Oregon-photo...5-e1443204129792-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Oregon-photo...5-e1443204129792-1024x617.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Oregon-photo...5-e1443204129792-498x300.jpg 498w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Oregon-photo...5-e1443204129792.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-66317\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Seriously, one of my favorite parts of living in Oregon is living out on a farm.
