It is difficult to sum up this experience because it truly has been one of the best experiences of my life. When I first came to Korea, I knew that studying and interning abroad would push me outside of my comfort zone, but I did not realize just how much I would grow or how…
What Does Professional Success Look Like in Korea?
Before coming to Korea, I mostly thought about professional success in terms of individual achievement. In the United States, we often think that successful employees are people who stand out, take initiative, share their ideas, and eventually move into higher positions. During my internship at a small company in Korea, I have started to realize…
A Month of Growth, Chaos, and Accidentally Learning to Blog
Delivering our final presentation in Carrigart felt like the moment everything from the past month finally came together. All the research, interviews, walking the main street, and building the bulletin board and website led up to that morning in The Carrigart Hotel’s meeting room. I was nervous, obviously, because presenting in front of actual community…
Lessons from Sweden
I’ve been in the States for about a week and a half now. It feels good to be back! Like I mentioned in my previous post, I will greatly miss Sweden (I already do) and I can’t wait to bore my friends to death with stories (yeah I studied abroad in Sweden this summer) but…
It’s Been Real Dublin
Dublin Diaries | The End An Amazing Ireland Summer And just like that, it is over. Eight weeks in Dublin felt like both the longest and shortest stretch of time I have ever experienced, and now sitting back home reflecting on everything that happened, I am still processing just how much this summer meant to…

Through this program, I’ve been able to meet so many new people, learn so much about Ireland’s culture, and develop as a person both academically and personally. The people that…
Leaving Stockholm With a New Perspective
The past eight weeks I spent in Stockholm have been some of the most meaningful weeks of my college experience. When I first arrived in Sweden, I was excited to begin my internship and learn what living in a new country would be like. I knew this experience would be a step outside my comfort…
Carrigart: The Lifeline of Fanad
I’ve been thinking back on our time in Fanad, and it seems like the kind of place that’s so quiet it feels like the area itself is in some fantasy world. It’s beautiful, but it’s also the kind of rural where you start wondering what people do if they need an Amazon delivery. That’s where…
Till we meet again, Paris
This was an incredible experience that I will never forget. Working at Mundolingua allowed me to meet so many wonderful people, learn new creative skills, improve on my public speaking in French, and understand what type of work environment I would love to seek out again in the future. Two months of leading student groups,…
