Ciao, A couple of friends and I just got back from a very relaxing trip in Santorini for the week. We spent time cliff diving, ATV riding, watching the sunset in Oia, eating gyros and taking a very strange transportation system. Their local buses consisted of 2 men and they would come in a coach…
Half Way There
I can’t believe that I am already half way through my time in London! This week we have midterms and lots of school work, but next week is the fall break week which means lots of travelling. I can’t wait to take a break away from class and work and get to do some exploring…
How to Survive in Shanghai for Under $6 a Day
In college, I spend an average of $10 per meal, or $30 a day. In a month, that’s about $900 on food. Whe you study abroad, you want to save that money to explore the country or the countries nearby. $900 a month for food is a good chunk of change. That’s in the States,…
Alexandra Pearson – Various Locations
Studying abroad was always something that I knew I wanted to do. The options were endless and making a choice was a lot harder than I anticipated, so I went abroad four times! My first experience was through a summer field study with Dr. Chong to Guatemala where we studied the lasting impact of a…
Ariane Rosen – Shanghai, China
I studied abroad in Shanghai, China in 2009. It was a crazy decision, since it would be my first time out of the U.S. I figured, when else would I have the chance to live in another country for four months? And, if I didn’t go to China now would I really ever end up…
As promised… Chainsmokers and More
Hi everyone!!!! Before you ask… Yes, I did get rid of the cold and no, I did not skip work after the concert. As you know, I went to the chainsmokers concert! For those of you who are currently wondering who the chainsmokers are, I will clarify… They are the ones who wrote the most…
Yer a wizard, Harry.
I WENT TO LONDON. A few weeks ago, my friend Ellen and I were trying to figure out what we should do with a free weekend we had coming up. I said, “Hey, wanna go to London.” and she said (spoiler alert), “Hell yes.” We bought our tickets, booked a Harry Potter walking tour, found…
Exam Time
It’s exam time! Sadly, it’s the time of year when midterms roll around and everyone starts cramming to learn everything they should have been learning in increments, into 2 days. As I’m studying for my exams I realize how much I miss studying in the Rollins library and how appreciative I am of my professors…
A Letter from the Past
Hey everyone! Today I received a little gift from the past, a letter I wrote to myself before I came to Germany in August. The letter was full of expectations and reminders I would have liked to have fulfilled at the half-way point in the semester. First time reading through the letter I was surprised…
Fall Break!
Ciao! Last weekend I went to Tuscany on Saturday and went to two different wine tastings. Sunday I went to an olive farm and saw the process to making olive oil. Both places were beautiful and I enjoyed seeing more of a countryside type setting. This past week was midterms and I was reminded that…
