Continuing with our whirlwind trip to Belgium, here’s the pictures from Bruges and Brussels! Like Ghent, we knew very little about Bruges, other than the fact that people kept saying we needed to visit. To tell the truth, I definitely prefer Ghent over Bruges. Yes, Bruges is beautiful and old, but Ghent is so medieval […]
Ghent
I was going to make one big post about our weekend in Belgium, before I realized that I took nearly 400 photos from a two-day trip…oops! So, here’s just a few pictures from our trip to Ghent, Belgium. Our roommate getaway to Belgium was pretty last-minute and we didn’t really plan anything other than our […]
Weekend in Holland
Hello! I’ve been having the worst computer trouble, but after 2 hours in the Apple store, transferring everything to an external hard drive, and wiping my computer, I’m back up and running and can finally blog again! SO, it’s finally here- my recap of my weekend in Holland. This post is super, super photo-heavy but […]
IJ-Hallen
I think the best part about being an international student is that there are tons of other kids who, like me, are completely lost as we’ve all been plopped into a foreign country. Since arriving I’ve discovered that the first week of the semester feels a lot like freshman year of college, where everyone is […]
Day Trip
The best part about going to school in Amsterdam is that so many other students chose this as a study abroad destination. As as a result, the schools’ International Student Network is always organizing trips and events. Saturday I finally got out of the city for the first time all week as we all ventured […]
Amsterdam Updates!
Hello from Amsterdam! Sorry for the radio silence, I JUST got wifi (and connected it all by myself!), but I wanted to update everyone so far. I’m officially done with my first week of classes! The school system here is very different, so I only take 2 classes at a time- we switch halfway through the […]
Autumn in New York
Now that I’m home for winter break, before all the craziness of pre-study abroad sets in, I have, dare I say it, too much free time. It seems like I have all day to blog and not much to blog about! So, I’m dipping into some of my adventures from this semester. Early in November […]
My Crazy/Awesome 2014
It seems like every blogger this week has posted a ‘Year in Review!’ full of their cool outfits and fun adventures. But even though I’m just starting out, I think I had a pretty blog-worthy year. So, here’s just a sampling of the ridiculous, amazing, awesome, memorable, and totally crazy things I did this year. […]
What’s In My Bag: Travel Edition
With the holidays ending and everyone hitting the road, there comes the dilemma of what to take in your purse while traveling, especially when you’re taking a plane. As someone who spends a lot of decent amount of time on a plane traveling from TX to NYC, I am constantly switching my school bag or my […]
The Holidays are Here!
Can y’all believe that Thanksgiving is tomorrow?? And you know what that means- Christmas is coming! The holidays are one of my favorite times of the year- I can’t wait for the tree to go up and to exchange presents on Christmas morning. I know some people already have their lights up, and a few […]
