Well, I’ve returned from Dublin and have settled back into my old routine pre-departure. Looking back on my time in Ireland, it felt like I was living a different life. I went from living and working in the city and traveling around Ireland on weekends to going right back to my job at Target and…

The Last Week
My last week in Ireland could definitely be described as bittersweet. I would find myself getting sentimental over the strangest things—like reloading my LeapCard used for busing. I would try not to think too much over the fact that that would most likely be my last time ever doing that. I would also make an…
Bray, Books, and Brunch
I’m now in the final stretch of my time in Dublin. Truly in a routine now, the weeks are going by faster and faster. It’s going to be weird leaving Dublin, I’m so used to it here and the thought of going back to the 90-degree heat in Pennsylvania seems like such a foreign concept…
Week 6 Bliss

Getting Into the Swing of Things
Throughout all of my previous jobs, something I found to be a crucial indicator for success in that position is proper time-management. Often times there are tasks that need to be completed by the end of the work day, that are momentarily interrupted due to other tasks that need to be completed immediately. It’s important…
