I want everyone to remember that is okay to be home sick. For me this is my first time being away from home for an extended period of time as well as out of the country. And for many of you, you might be in the same boat. I know it is described as past the honeymoon...

After living and studying in Prague for four months, I am back home in the states. Leaving was actually a lot harder than I anticipated. I did not think the friends I made would become so important to me, but they are now some of my best friends. Over the last week in...

Omg where do I start. So, guys… it’s happening, I am traveling abroad, and I am so excited!! I never thought I was going to get a chance because of what happened at the end of my freshman year when the world stopped, and we were sent home. I’ve always wanted to...

In just one day, I will be leaving the United States for the first time in my life. Some people may travel to other countries regularly, but as someone who has spent their entire life in rural Alabama, it feels surreal. At this time tomorrow, I will be headed to...

I cannot believe that in a less than two weeks I will be on a plane traveling across the country. Studying abroad and traveling the world has always been something I wanted to do. However, with the pandemic hitting second semester of my freshman year of college, that...

Growing up I would hear my parents use sayings I had never heard or even understood. Phrases like “time flies when you’re having fun”, “they grow up so fast”, and “life will pass you by in the blink of an eye”. Then, somewhere...

Studying abroad has been the best decision I have ever made. Looking back over my trip, I am so grateful for all the memories I have made and the relationships I have formed. This weekend my friends and I were deciding how to spend our last few days in Paris. We went...

During my ten days spent in Greece, I found that the best way to maximize my time there was to embrace and try to experience the new differences this country had to offer. For example, I discovered so many new foods that I have come to love such as the traditional...

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t extremely anxious about how my study abroad trip was going to go, especially since I did not personally know any other students going on the trip as well. I am partaking in the International Financial Reporting study abroad...

My time in Italy was truly the best. I can’t imagine how much guilt I’d feel if I didn’t go because everyone on my trip from students to instructors were amazing and I loved meeting all of them. Our last day was split between Capri and Sorrento and they were such...

Rome was so much fun despite the very little time we had here. We got to see the Vatican and the Colosseum in the same day. I will say this has been the longest day by far (we were up and moving around 6 am) and I’m just now getting back to our hotel at 10 pm. I think...
