Happy New Year! I’m still recovering from our New Year’s Eve Party, but I hope that everyone else had a fantastic New Year’s celebration and is ready to kick off a brand new year! New Year’s is traditionally the time when we make a whole list of resolutions and promises to better ourselves…only to realize […]
Year in Review- 2015
I know not a lot of people care about my ‘year in review’ but I love having the opportunity to be able to write all of this down. This blog provides an outlet for me to share my life and all the memories I am making, and even if I don’t have a huge following […]
Winter Graduation Outfit Ideas
My graduation is now less than 2 weeks away!! In the middle of final tests, projects, papers, and parties, I have realized that graduating in the winter flies under the radar of most schools. There are fewer events and not as much recognition. My school has an actual ceremony for December graduates, which is better than […]

If you have ever been on Pinterest for more than 5 seconds, you have seen at least a few quotes, imposed over a picture of some dream destination, encouraging you to do something along the lines of “Quit Your Job. Buy a Plane Ticket.” or, “Not all those who wander are lost,” or urging you […]
Your Ultimate Guide to Studying Abroad in Amsterdam
I get asked questions about my time in Amsterdam all the time, often from people who aren’t even planning on study abroad.

Dear Ashley
I start school in less than a month, and it is really starting to hit me that this is my last semester. My plan was always to graduate early, but now that Fall 2015 is arriving I can’t believe how fast time has gone by. I don’t feel like freshman year was yesterday, but it […]
Junior Year
Last night I sat across from my little, watching her unpack her room and realized, “Tomorrow is the first day of my junior year. Of college.” I can’t believe how fast time flies by, and it’s so weird to see groups of freshman wandering around campus and think that that was me 2 years ago. […]
