I expected coming back home to be easier than it was. I was not abroad for a whole semester, only 6 weeks, so it seemed it would be easy. But, getting back into my routine proved difficult. I was exhausted at the end of my trip and really, really looking forward to...

My first impressions with Lisbon were that it was much smaller than expected, and that it was a super relaxed city. I knew going-into my program that Lisbon was not as major of a city compared to other European cities, but to me Lisbon felt very small. I found that...

“Is this even real?” I don’t think it would be possible to keep count of the number of times I have asked this question while participating in the UA in Oxford study abroad program this summer. It is so crazy to me that in only 27 days, I have fallen in...
