“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.” C.S. Lewis I feel like I’ve been living in a parallel universe for the past three months, a dream-like state where I am not in a completely different phase of my life and nothing has changed. Obviously, I miss college. However, it’s […]
As my undergraduate years are quickly coming to a close, I’ve found myself reflecting on the past four years, not just in the context of college, but in the context of life as a whole. I remember thinking in my first days at Mizzou that I already knew who I was and what I wanted […]
If I’ve learned anything in my first semester of my senior year (*cry*), it’s that the profession I’m pursuing is not all glamorous. I think I’ve had these notions of becoming the next Olivia Pope, or working in a place like Andi Sachs, but through this assignment, I’ve learned that this world doesn’t always give […]
Ok, so I know this is incredibly late, but sorry I’ve been busy living life and stuff. Rome post to come soon, I PROMISE. Read. Sorry it’s long. Wahoo! My parents were here for these two weekends and it was awesome. Not only because they bought my friends and me some beer and food (thanks, […]
Ciao da Venezia! That means hello from Venice, although technically I’m writing from Brussels. I know, I know, I’m a little late on posting this. My last few weeks have been a little hectic, from class assignments to being incredibly sick, so I haven’t had the time or energy to write. So finally, here’s the […]
Bonjour! We took a casual trip to Paris this weekend! Jk. We’ve had this planned for not for very long. That’s the cool thing about Europe: everything is so close and you can decide to go to a whole other country in just two weeks and it’s all chill. Anyways, between classes and work, our […]
First weekend trip outside of Belgium was a success! Allison, Jen, and I took a bus on Friday afternoon to Cologne, Germany, about 2 1/2 hours from Brussels. When we arrived in Cologne, we were dropped off in a parking lot. A literal parking lot full of semis. No bus station, no taxi stand, nothing. […]
SWIFT is a gorgeous fairytale land and I am its princess. Okay, dramatic, but kind of actually true. Jen and I look at each other everyday in disbelief that we are really interning at such an awesome place. Although we have only been there two weeks, we have been spoiled into oblivion. It’s like being […]
Jk. Sorry, you’re going to be disappointed. I haven’t the time to blog a whole bunch (or even write this….), so I’m sorry. A ton of y’all have been asking for pictures and stories, and I have them, but not here yet. Going to Germany this weekend. I’ll post a huge blog (maybe…) next week. […]
One thing I’ve learned these first few days in Brussels is that the name of the game this summer is awkward. Things are just going to be awkward and weird and strange and downright uncomfortable at times. Awkward is definitely something I have experienced before (have you met me, my roommates, and/or my coworkers?), but […]
