Textbooks can be really expensive. But every new semester doesn’t have to break the bank. Here’s a video with some college hacks to save you money.
Real Talk: Internships and Resumes
Now that I’m in my final year at school, resumes and job applications are a very salient worry for me. The last thing I want to do is graduate from WashU and then immediately find myself in my parents’ house again with no career prospects. It’s especially nerve racking when I hear that my friends […]

New Beginnings
It’s Fall 2016 and I’m officially back at WashU to start the new year. I’m a senior now so I basically know the in’s and out’s of the campus and its workings, right? Absolutely not. If anything, being away from WashU for basically 9 months has made me less sure than I used to be. […]

Prague Updates: Shout out to all students going through exams
So the final days of the program have finally come. The final project is in the last stretch and right now I’m just whiling away the days trying to find suitable pass times for myself. I’m sure it’s different back at WashU. This is about the time when things really start to crack down and […]

Prague Updates: $$$
So one of the things that most worried me about going abroad was that I would officially be responsible for my own meals and budgeting. Up until this point I had always been on the WashU meal plan – even if it was always the smallest plan available – and that usually curbed the bulk […]

Prague Updates: The Final Countdown
Things have been even more hectic since I last wrote, so I’m sorry for the delay in posting. We’ve been working on our final projects for the past few weeks and, now that things have finally calmed down, I feel like I can finally sit down and share some of what we’ve done and accomplished […]

Prague Updates: An Overview
Wow, it’s been a long time since I wrote anything. It’s been really hectic lately, so I apologize. Since I last wrote I’ve had a friend come over to visit me for the week, travelled to Budapest and Salzburg, and been working on my final project for the program that I’m in. But I figured […]

Prague Updates: Semester Bucket List
So while I was going to my different classes today, my friends and I got on the topic of trying new things. What with being in a new country, a new city, a new culture, and among new people, it seems natural to try as many new things as possible before we inevitably have to […]

Prague Updates: Internship Interviews
So class has started today. It was a nice weekend but, of course, they never last as long as you want them to and before I knew it I was back in class getting lectured at again. I finished before 1 though so I was able to come back and just relax, get some food […]

Prague Updates: Day Trip to the Terezin
So this weekend has been a relaxing one. After the crazy time we had in Berlin – which was insanely fun but also extremely busy – it was nice to stay in Prague for a couple of days and really absorb my city. Getting back here, I had the strange feeling that I wasn’t giving […]

Prague Updates: Roommates
So I just realized that I haven’t really talked about my living situation while I’m studying abroad and it occurred to me – super late in the game, as per the usual – that other students might be interested in this. So here’s the situation: I’m living in an apartment with four other kids my […]

Prague Updates: School Life and Career Prep
So today was pretty interesting. Things are getting somewhat intense with film class today – we’re supposed to have short film pitch ideas basically already formed, beginning, middle and end – and absolutely no one was ready to present their ideas. As I mentioned earlier, we’ve already formed into groups but no one expected teachers […]

Prague Updates: The Week, Berlin, and Everything in Between
So I was posting a little sporadically for the last two weeks (as in barely at all) and I’m sorry about that. So much stuff was happening that I lost track of the last time I had posted and before I knew it, 10 or so days had gone by. But now I have some […]

Prague Updates: What Happens in Cesky, Stays in Cesky
So it’s been a while since my last update. A lot of things have been going on that have distracted me from blogging but now that I’ve got some time to myself – finally! – I feel like I can really get at the details of my life so far. First of all, we had […]

Prague Update: Don’t Knock it Till You Try It
I’ve done it. I’ve actually done it. I survived Intensive Czech. Today was the last day of our three hour Czech language classes and – even though I really appreciated the class and actually have become more interested in learning functional Czech, or what I like to call “Taxi Czech” – I’m also relieved that […]

Prague Updates: Studying Done Right
So I know it’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally got a few of my pictures on to my laptop so here they are, ready and waiting for you to gaze upon them. Here’s a couple pictures of my room. I share it with my roommate from American University. I know it doesn’t […]

Studying Abroad: A Guide to Homesickness
So I’ve been in Prague for a total of four days now but it feels a lot longer. I’ve explored the city a little bit on some unofficial tours and gotten to know some of the other people in my program so I’m definitely starting to feel a little more like I belong here. That’s […]

Prague updates
So more days have passed since my last post than I wanted, but I decided to write a quick post just to break the radio silence. I just landed in Prague yesterday and it’s been a whirlwind of activities since then. I’ll have pictures in my next post but I landed in the airport and […]
