Study Abroad

My time here is rapidly coming to an end. A natural response is to reflect on my experience in Barcelona. Of course it is nothing like I expected, as nothing seems to be. It is difficult to put this experience into words, but I know I will return not the same as I was before. […]

My Voyages Thus far:  With the program that I am studying, I have a surprisingly great amount of vacation days. Not only did I have a one week vacation towards the end of February, but I am looking forward to my April vacation which lasts almost 18 days! Though I have only had a week-long […]

As everyone already knows, on Wednesday, March 22, 2017, just outside of Westminster, there was a terror attack in London. From what I know from the news stations, newspapers, and word of mouth, an SUV crashed into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge and crashed into the gates of Parliament. According to reports, the attacker fatally stabbed […]

Over Spring Break, I went to the Trevi Fountain and threw an extra coin in the fountain and wished to return to Rome one day. I recommend that everyone throw a coin in, because my wish had a pretty fast turn around! Only a week later, I met my best friend, Nicole Zaborek, in Rome. […]

Athens They say that there are two kinds of people, the Greeks, […]

For the past three weeks, I have been almost completely nonstop traveling (I’m currently writing new blog posts on a train to Scotland because my grandma was getting annoyed at my lack of posts). The first week in March, my university was on mid-semester break. Somewhere in between cramming for midterm exams and essays, we […]

We had a DAM great trip! Let me start the trip on Wednesday night, “The Night Before We Left.” I know everyone who reads my blogs will be shocked to hear this: I didn’t prepare a head of time and I waited until the last minute to pack. I’ll spare all of my readers the horrifying […]

I was very nervous for my semester abroad in Chile.  Although I had already traveled extensively abroad – and even lived in Latin America – this was the first time I was going to be traveling in another country by myself.  I was also nervous because I was not sure how my Spanish would fare […]
