I have officially left Germany, and it is such a sad feeling. Even during my post-program vacation traveling between other European cities, I started missing the specific Berlin routine that I had developed for myself. Now that I made it home from Europe, the realization that my time in Berlin is over has completely gotten…

Success but Make it German
Guten Tag! I can’t believe that I just finished my eighth week in Berlin, but this entire program has really just flown by. I kept saying that I didn’t want to focus on how much time I had left because I didn’t want to think about leaving the city, but the end still arrived so…
Uncrossing Wires
Guten Tag everyone! After finishing my seventh week in Berlin, it is hard to believe that I will be leaving the city in less than two weeks. I am really taking this time to reflect on what I have done and what I have left on my to do list before leaving Germany, while also…
Leadership Abroad
Hallo! As I am writing this blog post, I am sitting in my apartment recovering from a jam-packed weekend trip to Budapest. This week I mostly focused on keeping up with work and relaxing, because I took Friday off of work for a travel day. For LÆMON, Dylan and I worked a lot on updating…

It was a fun opportunity to see just how many students from English-speaking countries such as England, Canada, and America are…
Correcting My Lack of Balance
Hallo! I am now 2 weeks into my program and one week into my internship at LÆMON, a tech-jewelry startup in Berlin. This past week has been so eventful and it feels like multiple weeks passed since my last post. On Monday, I started at LÆMON as a finance intern. After work, we decided to…
A Week of New Experiences
Hallo! It’s hard to believe that I have been in Berlin for almost an entire week. After arriving Tuesday afternoon, I went to a welcome dinner hosted by our orientation leader, Britta, and met the other students in the program. Starting at 9am Wednesday, we have been moving nonstop from one orientation activity to the…
