I write this with a lot of mixed emotions. I just finished my last final of my study abroad experience. A lot of my friends have been done for a while now, but I had my hardest final to date today. Don’t get me wrong – I am elated to be done with class, and…
Ciao Italia
I’m back in Ireland after two weeks in Italy, and it somehow seems to have gotten even colder while I was away. Italy was wonderful, and it was so great to be able to wear shorts after three months of pants! I had been to Italy a few years ago, and I knew that I…
Study Abroad: The Gray Area

As you can imagine having never lived outside of Florida, I became overly excited when it happened. At first, I was confused and thought to myself, “Okay, this is either really tiny hail…
