The day is finally here that I’m leaving and I still can’t believe it! I have been planning for this trip for about a year now so to see it finally happening is very surreal. I am going on a faculty-led trip in Greece for 3 weeks where we will start in Athens and...

I’m finally back home from my semester abroad and have had some time to reflect upon the memories I made in Europe. Honestly, coming home felt a lot like coming out of a dream, going back to the familiar spaces in my hometown from a place where it seemed as...

My classes) at the Institut de Touraine are more like a combination of elementary/high school and college than I thought they would be, mostly because I have the same classroom and professor all day. Not every day is the same length, and there are a lot of discussions...

I have now entered my final week in The Hague. Reflecting on almost a half year of my life is hard to confine into a single blog post. I read my original post where I stated my...

It has been almost a week since I arrived in Croatia and the things we have learned and experienced thus far have been immaculate. There are many things that I have learned not only in regards to the economy, as my program is studing Intermediate Macroeconomics,...

I have officially been abroad for a week! We have done so many fun and exciting things during the week I have been here, in London. Even with being so busy and doing so many exciting things, the feeling of missing home and familiarity are inevitable. Three days ago,...

When I first organized my study abroad trip to London I felt only one emotion, excitement. However, as time slowly inched towards my departure date I began to have feelings of anxiety and nervousness as I was about to enter an entirely new world. These feelings were...

Before leaving for France, I heard more rumors and stereotypes about the French than I could count, the majority of which pertained to their customer service industry. While it is very different from that of The U.S., reality does not reflect what I was led to expect,...

Since I knew my plan was to go to college, the one thing I had completely been sure that I was going to do was study abroad. Little 9th grade me in high school would dream about roaming the streets of Rome or walking across the Champs Elysée with a baguette in hand or...

In our pre-departure meeting, they went over the stages of culture shock. However, while I was abroad, I don’t really think I truly experienced culture shock. It is worth noting that I was only abroad for 20 days total, so that could have affected my lack of culture...
