Global Competency and Expectations Oh, this week has been bittersweet. Realizing how much time has flown by is insane. It feels like a week ago, I was taking pictures of a rainbow as I landed on this beautiful island, but here I am now. Typing my last blog while in this country with all of…
Tag: International Internship Program: Dublin
Goodbye Dublin, Ireland
At every point in my life, I have had a safety net. There is always been someone I can call, in some corner of the world, if I was in dire need. This was the first time I felt completely independent. Before I left for this trip, I was terrified and tried not to think…
One Week to Go!
Only five days left! I can’t believe how quickly my 8 weeks in Ireland have flown by. Although I’m happy with the amount of activities I did and places I visited, I still feel like there’s so much more to do. Last week started off great. My friends and I made another trip to Dun…
What Defines Success?
I’m not sure how to even begin this post because I think I’m in denial that this is my last blog post on the trip (there will be another one coming after the trip is over and that one may be even more emotional than this one). My study abroad experience has allowed me to…
Talking With Your Hands
Reflecting on Communication Differences When I first was researching study abroad programs, I thought eight weeks was a lengthy timeframe, but I underestimated how quickly the time would fly by.

Saying Goodbye to patientMpower
I cannot believe this is the last week of my internship! There were moments when time went slow but in general, it has completely flown by! I remember my very first day standing outside in the rain because I got there way too early! It is exciting for me to look back on all that…
Taking a Leap of Faith
Good afternoon from Dublin, Ireland! We are currently in the midst of a massive heat wave! My whole life I’ve been privileged enough to say that I grew up with air conditioning and even though it may be hot in the summer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at least I can always find a place that’s cool….
Soaking It All In
It’s hard to believe we only have two weeks left in the program. These last five weeks have been filled with unforgettable memories, awe inspiring views, and great friends—I couldn’t be more grateful for all of it. Since we’re reaching the end I’m trying to make sure I’ve hit as many famous Dublin spots as…
