"I haven't been everywhere, but it is on my list."
It really is hard to believe that 2013 is at its close. When I am 80 years old and reflecting on the life that I have lived, I can guarantee that 2013 will be a year to stand out. After coming back from England and living through the bore of the summer, WKU's fall semester kicked off and it truly has been a crazy, hectic one. I took 18 hours of classes, worked 20-25 hours at my job and finally got involved within Kappa Delta and Panhellenic Greek life.
I probably annoy my friends and family with the excessive talk of wanting to venture out but once the travel bug hits, its hard to avoid it. Just last night I was talking to my friend Hannah about traveling and I made the realization that without last fall's leap of faith and applying for Harlaxton, this love of travel would have never occurred. That thought is truly terrifying.
I made it a goal to study abroad at least once a year while I was in college. I mean, I will probably never have this opportunity again in life. To leave everything behind, tell work that I need to be off for x amount of time and jump on a plane to go on a new adventure, so why not take advantage of it.
Freshman year = Ecuador
Sophomore year = Harlaxton
Junior year...are you ready for this? Am I ready for this?....CENTRAL EUROPE!
That's right, I am going back to Europe to study abroad. This time I will be living in the Czech Republic and visiting Poland, Austria and Hungary in the process! I am STOKED. After looking to two other programs, I have decided to do my Honor's thesis research while I am abroad and this trip will be right in line with my goals. I seriously can not wait!
Add going to Chicago, Atlanta and back to Washington D.C. (all during the spring semester) and 2014 looks to be one promising year. I have waited 6 long months to travel again and I am impatiently awaiting my next flight out.
I'll be keeping this blog, mainly for my future self, updated with all my new adventures!
