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...

Let’s recap this amazing day. On Monday we had a really busy day. We woke up at 7am and had to leave the dorm at 8am. We started our day by visiting Copa Airline. Copa Airline is Panama’s main source of transportation in the air. Next we went to Pandora,...

This trip to Panama was so amazing. I learned so much this week. This trip changed the way I view life as a whole. It humble me and reminded me that I should be thankful for the life that I have. I got the chance to eat foods I never ate, zipline, ride bikes on...

We are on our way to Panama. This is my first time going out of the country and my first time flying for this amount of time. I am really nervous but excited at the same time. I am so glad that I got to grow a relationship with my classmates before we left to go on...

I had mixed feeling about coming back home. I have been home for a little over a month at this point. When I first arrived at the airport, and saw my parents waiting to pick me up, I was so excited to see them. On the other hand, I was sad that my study abroad...

In July and part of August, I studied abroad in Lisbon, Portugal for an international business course. I’m currently a Finance major with a minor in international business, and one of the requirements for this minor is to study abroad or intern abroad. This wasn’t my...

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...

I had never been to Europe before landing in Barcelona for study abroad. As you can imagine, I was beyond excited. Everything was new to me, the food, the people, the culture, the architecture, the geography, all new, all equally enticing. Here is a breakdown of...

I have now returned to the United States from my study abroad in Porto, Portugal. Our final pitch for our program abroad went really well, and I made some friends that I won’t soon forget through this. I’m confident that we will stay in touch and remain friends...

After my first couple of weeks in Porto, Portugal, I feel settled in and comfortable living here. A lot of that has to do with finally having a stable routine with my classes, meals, and free time. To recap, I am enrolled in the three-week-long European Innovation...

I spent the spring of 2022 in Seoul, South Korea. I did not know any Korean nor did I know a lot about Korean culture. I researched as much as I could and learned to read the Korean Alphabet, but that was all. It was extremely nerve-racking and I had no idea what to...

It is a strange feeling when you come back to a place that is so familiar when you have been gone for an extensive amount of time. Nothing has changed about home, but everything feels different because you have changed. I have been away from home for a long time, but...

The city of Rome is unlike any other place in the entire world. The most incredible part about this city is that there is always somewhere new to explore and learn about. I loved getting to know all the locals at the shops and restaurants around our campus. Walking...

This weekend, I took the 3-hour train to Lisbon from Porto after we finished up our work on Friday afternoon. My friends and I didn’t get into Lisbon until almost 10 pm so by the time we took the Uber to our Airbnb, we were starving. Thankfully, we found an Italian...

A panoramic of the Colosseum!! Ever since I have started school here in Rome, it’s been so difficult to do a school day and try to see all the sights. My friends and I have come up with a good middle ground of classes and studying in the morning and then seeing some...
