I’ve been brainstorming a good blog idea to wrap up the year and I finally found one. Can’t take credit for the it though, all credit goes to Kirsten Johnson. Her description is below: “As 2013 comes to a close, I’m anticipating the lists of New Year’s resolutions that will appear in my Facebook feed, … Continue reading

5 Months Can Change Your Life.
I’m not entirely sure where to start as I attempt to reflect on the last 5 months I spent abroad. The experience opened my eyes, built me, and changed me. It was easier than I expected, but at the same time full of surprises. And while I did go into it with low expectations (i.e. … Continue reading
Hi Family!
So my family came to Ireland to pick me up and while they were at it, we decided to tour the country. Poor Steve Dad ended up driving 1200 miles on some crazy roads/footpaths…we owe him, a lot. He adjusted well to the whole driving on the left side of the road, having to stop/reverse to … Continue reading
A Video! Exploring Europe. Month Four.
This video of my backpacking trip around Europe was a labor of love. 1. The fact that I didn’t think about not being able to download my pictures and videos during my month abroad was the first little hiccup. I only had a 2 GB and an 8 GB memory card for both my pictures … Continue reading

If something is not to your liking, change your liking.
I am hoping to find the time to write two other blogs today (in the midst of checking into our flights and finishing packing), but this is not one of those two. This post is messing up the chronological order of my blog posts, but I guess I’m willing to compromise on that. Just as … Continue reading
A Video! Studying Abroad in Cork, Ireland. Month Three.
Hello friends. It has been a while, but let me give you a quick recap in terms of March’s video. Month three was filled with two shared celebrations for 4 birthdays! Taylor and Norton’s birthdays were both on March 10th and Julie’s and mine were both on the 17th. Plus St. Paddy’s Day celebrations of … Continue reading
Pet Peeves & Some Things I Love the Most
I mean these more sarcastically than I do negatively. Don’t get me wrong, they are my pet peeves, but it’s not like a hate list or anything to that extreme. Enjoy. Professors who expect you to study absolutely everything you’ve ever learned the entire semester…but then only test you on 8.3% of that. I don’t … Continue reading
10 Precious Gems in Galway
So we made it to the wonderful city of Galway during the first weekend in March (Friday 1-Sunday 3). It is the first place I have been to (other than Cork) where I have felt “at home”. Not in the sense that it’s a small town like home, but as a city of 75,000 people, … Continue reading
What up homework?! Nice of you to show up.
So let me rewind a bit and take back all I said about not having homework. I guess it’s true that I haven’t really had “typical” homework (like what I’m use to at SNC), but I definitely have work. That needs to be done. That I’m procrastinating. But I’m only procrastinating in terms of my … Continue reading
a beautiful world.
