“Álainn – Pronounced awl-inn, is a versatile word for beauty in its purest form. It can describe the beauty of landscapes, people, or even abstract concepts, evoking awe and admiration in the Gaelic Irish language. The internet can be a confusing concept that is full of the unknown. One thing I can guarantee is that…

Learning to Lead Myself
After finishing my sixth week at my internship and a weekend trip to Helsinki, I am now beginning my second to last week in the International Internship Program. When I began this internship, I had a goal of becoming more confident with communicating with others in a professional setting, as well as becoming more comfortable…
When in Rome…
This week put my whole experience abroad into perspective. I decided to book one last trip to Italy with a couple of friends from my dorm as some people were finishing up their internships this past week. My coworkers gave me the go-ahead to take off on Friday so I would have an extra day…
Value of Time Management
One of the biggest adjustments from being a student to being an intern has been how I think about my time. In school, every class hands you a syllabus with the deadlines already given to you. You know exactly when the midterm is or when the paper is due. Each percentage is laid out for…
À bientôt, Paris!
It is hard to believe that just last week I was interning at a non-profit in Paris. Spending over two months abroad has profoundly shaped my global perspective, and I have gained far more insight and growth than I ever could have imagined before arriving in France. This has been one of the most transformative…
Irish Luck or Hard Work?
I have officially finished my last week of my internship. This last week I spent as much time with all my new friends and I spent as much time as I could walking around the city center. This past week I went to so many restaurants and was soaking up every last experience that was…
More Than Taking the Lead
This week was definitely one of my favorites since arriving in Seoul because my grandma came to visit! Getting to explore the city with her made this week extra special. We checked something off her bucket list by eating ramen along the Han River, just like in so many K-dramas. It was such a simple…
Communicating in Czech
Tomorrow marks the beginning of my final week in Prague, which feels insane to write. Time has really flown by this summer, and while I am looking forward to going home, I know I’ll miss this experience. I am definitely going to soak in as much of these last few days as I can. This…
A Final Farewell!
I honestly can’t believe my time in Ireland is already over. These past two months went by so fast, and this whole experience is something that I know I’ll never forget. When I first got to Dublin, I had no idea what to expect. I was excited, but definitely nervous too. I genuinely remember feeling…
