Cheers

I embarked on a journey nearly 4,000 miles away from home for over four months. Spending the spring semester of my junior year in Manchester, England was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. After applying through Cornell’s CALS Exchange Program, I was elated upon receiving my acceptance letter to study abroad. While home,Continue reading “Cheers”

Copenhagen + Stockholm

~ What a time, to write a blog. Another note, a travelogue. ~ It’s been a while since I recapped my European adventures and as I’m in the midst of procrastinating—I mean preparing—for my last final exam, I figured I’d recount the last two stops I made during my break. Nyhavn Copenhagen, Denmark was aContinue reading “Copenhagen + Stockholm”

London (Again)

I left Granada, Spain and flew into London—Heathrow Airport to be specific. I planned to meet up with a friend for dinner and needed to take the Tube to Leicester Square. With my Oyster Card in hand, I went to top up…and then accidentally shoved my debit card into the slot for notes. Wow. MyContinue reading “London (Again)”

Knowing that only this and the final exam determined my grade for the class, I had prepared inContinue reading “Dublin”

In this recount of my Edinburgh trip, I’ll share morals that I actually already knew, but because I’m still young, I’ll use it as an excuse for not keeping them in mind. Join me for some laughs along the way andContinue reading “Morals: Edinburgh Edition”

Mishaps

Despite the inevitable negative events or accidents that can occasionally occur throughout life, I try to shake things off and laugh when I can. Within the past three weeks, I’ve experienced some mishaps. It was hours past dusk when I was walking to a nearby bus stop. I needed a ride to Fallowfield so IContinue reading “Mishaps”

You like it…I like it…a quick read! I’ve been in Manchester for over a week and here’s a recap of my “10 Intents” progress. 1: Minimizing Murphy’s Law My flight arrived in a timely manner, although I had to wait outside of the Accommodation Office for 15 minutes before it opened.
