To say this summer was an amazing experience would be an understatement. I began this journey a little wary about how I would feel about such a big lifestyle change.

Final Reflections
After enjoying a few weeks at home with family and friends I’ve taken some time to reflect on my experience over the summer. Going into this program I was very nervous and wasn’t sure about the choice to do an internship abroad. But looking back at it now I think that was the best choice…

Close to the End
As another week passes, I realize that I only have 4 more days in Europe. I know this week will be exceptionally hard because all other programs in my dorm have left. All the people I hung out with are all now home and with their family. Although I knew this would be hard, I…
