That's a wrap 07/07/14
I’ve been home now for about 24 hours, and the only feeling I have is denial. The last six weeks have been an absolute whirlwind with little sleep, and I still cannot believe it actually happened. I went to Europe, something so many people have never had the opportunity to do. I still think I […]

The Roman Finale 06/10/14
If you ever have the privilege and pleasure of traveling to Rome, don’t try to do it in a weekend. You will not be able to see everything you should and you’ll kick yourself for rushing through trying to get to everything. The Vatican and Coliseum tours will take an entire afternoon, and with the […]

Moral of the story: Just do it! 06/09/14
Here, there and everywhere! I have been so busy talking about my exciting weekends, I forgot to mention how amazing simple week nights can be. I remember my first afternoon that I had “free” when I was in Italy. A group of friends and I had a few hours to study and finish our homework […]

Do As The Romans Do 05/19/14
As I was studying for my exams this past week, I was constantly looking for motivation. Why start reviewing my flash cards when that next episode of ‘Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ starts in exactly 14 seconds? And then I would look at the bulletin board on my bedroom wall, and I would see the […]

Reflection on My Time Abroad 05/06/14
Before you leave CIMBA, you listen to a few of the staff members talk about what it’s going to be like for you when you get back home. When I sat through these “town hall meetings” I kept thinking “Why am I here? I’m not going to have culture shock. I’ve only been here three […]

Advice for new CIMBIANS 04/29/14
1. Go to the Tabacchi with your friends and get sandwiches (10x better than anything at Jimmy John’s or Subway). Have a picnic at the picnic tables on campus! 2. Go on a run around Paderno and to other nearby towns. There are a few hills (they never really get any easier…) but the view […]
