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…
The Final Destination: Pitt
Thursday was officially the last day of the Haller Global Honors Fellowship. I genuinely can’t believe that an entire month went by, just like that. 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,…

Seat 24C: Reflections on Success, Culture, and Leaving Sweden
I’m sitting in seat 24C on IcelandicAir from Reykjavik to Newark typing this, and I have to say, it’s a weird place to be. Not a few thousand feet above the North Pole, but hurtling towards an inevitable destination pretty different from the place I have left. It’s harder knowing that the incredible people I…
A Not So Irish Goodbye
On Thursday, we finally reached the end of the program. All our research of Carrigart and its main street led up to our final presentations on the topic. My scope of work was regarding potential partnerships within businesses on the main street, and how they can strengthen their reach to customers. It was one of…
The Quiet Community of Donegal
On Tuesday, we started our morning at the Fanad Lighthouse, situated in the Northern part of the Republic of Ireland. We were able to go to the very top, although it was a little scary to travel up the steps because they were very tightly packed and thin. While driving to the lighthouse, it was…
