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...

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 less than 24 hours I will be getting on a plane and going to London! Personally, this is a very new and out of comfort experience. I have never been out of the country and I have only been on a plane once, so you could imagine the thought of this causing some...
