One Month In!
Time really does fly. I’m somehow ¼ of the way into my semester here, and it still feels like I just got here last week. I was so worried that I wouldn’t be built for city life, but I absolutely love being here and have even begun to look into graduate school options within the …
The Long-Awaited Experience
It’s taken a long time to get here, but my European adventure has finally begun! I arrived in Ireland a few days ago to spend time with some family friends for a week before leaving for my study abroad semester in Krakow, Poland! My freshman year was the first time I heard about the John …

Pre-Departure!
