Travel Diary from Abroad
Hi all, Holy moly! It’s my second to last week in Dublin! What a whirlwind the last few months have been. It only seems fitting to write a good old fashioned travel diary.

Study Abroad Stories
Hi all, With less than a month remaining of my time abroad, I thought it would be fitting to chat about my experience studying abroad.

For those who may not know, I…
Monday Night is the New Saturday Night

The leaves start to turn to a pumpkin orange, and the campus feels like a fall wonderland. I am envious of everyone being able to experience it this semester! While…
From First-Year to Abroad
Hi all, Another week is in the books for this fall 2023 semester! I still cannot believe I am a junior this year. It feels like just yesterday my parents were moving me into campus in a post-COVID era. I am very happy that those who have moved in this year and in the years to come will get to…
