Study Abroad: Photo Gallery
I spent this past semester studying in Florence, Italy with the Sam Fox School Communication Design program, which was an amazing experience to say the least! Due to bad wifi, I couldn’t continue my Photo of the Week posts, but to make it up here’s a highlight reel from the past 4 months! […]

Hi everyone! Earlier this month, I interviewed my friend, David, who studied abroad in Spain last semester. Today, I would like to share with you more pictures of him on this incredible journey. As the saying goes, a pictures is worth a thousand words! Now, how about 16 pictures of David?

Back to Wash U (Part 2)
Hey guys! So last week, I interviewed my friend Kate again on her study abroad experience. This week, I decided to follow-up with another one of my friends, David, on his trip. David also studied abroad in Spain during the spring semester. He went there as a junior and took business courses in Madrid. Some friends and I actually just celebrated his birthday a few days ago! David is one of the most outgoing, goofiest, and dorkiest friends that I have. So of course, I took this as the perfect opportunity to check up with him on his journey!

Back to Wash U
Last semester, I interviewed two of my good friends, Kate and David, who both studied abroad in Spain during the spring semester. Kate is one of my roommates this year—and I decided to interview again to follow-up on her experience. Now that she is back on campus, it is interesting to see how exactly studying abroad has changed her as a person as well as what her experiences have taught her.

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 […]

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: 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 […]
