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...

“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...
