Words cannot describe how amazing the past four months have been. As I am writing this there are only two more days left before I end my journey in Italy. I remember just boarding my eight hour flight to fly across the world to come here, and how I was filled with nerves and excitement…
It’s not goodbye, its ¡Hasta luego!
Cheers to new sights, new heights, and wonderful company! I can’t believe it is already time to say goodbye…so I’m not going to. I’ll be back one day to the place I’ve been privileged to call my home for 3 months. There’s something to be said for the experiences in which you become enriched with…
Last Days in Ireland
Well, I am down to my last week here in Maynooth. Although there have been ups and downs, it is finally hitting me that I am going to have to leave my amazing, cultural diverse new friends. Leaving is bitter sweet, as I look to the coming month I am excited to see my home…
I’m Ready to Leave
I have less then a week left in this country and I can’t wait to go home. Don’t get me wrong, I more than enjoyed my time here in the United Kingdom, but I miss the United States, with the exception of the politics. I miss my pets, my family, my friends, Rollins, my job…
The End is Nigh
It is amazing how quickly this three-month semester is coming to a close. That famous saying of “time flies when you’re having fun” was completely evident with my study abroad experience because three months were gone in a blink of an eye. But I did so much, met so many great people, and made so…
GOOD-byes? Are you serious?
As the end draws nearer all I can think of wanting for the holidays is not having to leave Ireland. I don’t want to leave my friends from all over the world, I don’t want to leave my ultimate Frisbee team that’s really become a family, and I don’t want to leave the country that…
Almost the end of the semester!!
Wow, it is hard to believe that in 8 days I will be on the plane heading back to Tampa! How has this semester gone by so fast? I, unfortunately, haven’t done as many blog posts as I wanted to this semester, but this post is going to be a brief glimpse of what has…
Almost the End
I depart in a few days and I am feeling a wide range of emotions: happy to finally see my parents, sad to leave my best friend and nervous for the future. Coming to Australia was the best decision I have made in my 20 years and I don’t want the journey to end. Once…
Midterm Update
Hi Rollins!! While most of my friends are finishing up their semesters, I just finished my midterms. I have mixed feelings because I realized today that I will be home in just one month. Part of me misses the United States, my home, my family, my dogs, and Rollins. The other part of me does…
Thoughts on Abroad
As the days count down, I only have one more week left of being abroad, and to be honest I am quiet relieved. A lot of people believe that at all points of studying abroad, that there are only highs. Well, not to be the negative Nancy, there will be lows. There will be points…
