In case some of you are too busy enjoying your summer vacations and the days just slip by you, I am here to inform everyone that it is officially July.  Today is July 1st.  One more time:  JULY IS TODAY.  When on Earth did that happen, am I right?  Wow. I am sure most of … Continue reading July, Golden Retriever Pup, and What’s New Scooby Doo

I have gotten a couple of questions about why I haven't written a post in awhile and the honest answer is because I just have not been doing very much.  The spring weather here in Germany is just awful.  I feel like it rains all the time and I have been sick for a few … Continue reading Counting Down…

I have not written in such a long time! This has been a weird week where it’s kind of busy but also not busy at the same time. It is the first week of classes, but most of my classes don’t even start until next week (I know, Germany is weird like that). I have … Continue reading Spring in Heidelberg

I haven't written in what seems like forever.  I did not have much to write about in general in January and February, because not much was going on.  Finally, I have something noteworthy to write about.  I recently got back from my Germany and Ireland tours with Jake and my mom.  What a crazy, whirlwind … Continue reading Travel Bug

Hello, World!  Your resident study abroad college student here.  I haven't written in a little bit, and honestly, that is because I realllyyyyyy haven't been doing much of anything.  I've been going to the gym and doing some hikes and such.  I went to Wissembourg, France for a bit with the other full-years last week … Continue reading Waiting

Today was my first day with nothing to do and nothing in the near future.  I had my last two finals yesterday and I am officially (FINALLY) done with my first semester here at Uni Heidelberg.  Oh my goodness.  I completed an entire semester (16 very long weeks) in GERMAN!  I honestly would not even … Continue reading Humble Brag

I have been back in Heidelberg for about a week and a half now and I am all settled back in.  I have gone grocery shopping like 3 times already (mostly because I refuse to actually plan and keep forgetting little things I need, LOL), I just did a load of laundry and washed my … Continue reading Alltagsaktivitäten

I just finished unpacking and settling back into my apartment in Heidelberg.  I am currently fighting with jet lag pretty hard and trying to not be sleepy.  I am grabbing dinner with my friend Gabi, who is also a Full Year student in the AJY program.  Hopefully that can help me stay awake at least … Continue reading To Be Determined

Well, my last night in the States has quickly arrived.  I am not going to lie, I am pretty sad to be leaving again.  And that's not to say that I am not looking forward to the next 7 months of more learning, traveling, and adventures in Europe!  Because I totally am.  But it was … Continue reading Bon Voyage America…Again

Good morning, everyone!  Today is a beautiful wintry day in Heidelberg, Germany, and I woke up to the wonderful surprise of a snowy day!  Nothing makes me more nostalgic and excited than jumping out of my warm, cozy bed and looking out the window onto a snowy scene.  It reminds me of when I was … Continue reading Snow in Heidelberg
