Wow… LAST BLOG I can’t believe these are our last couple of days in dublin. I could never have imagined that I would be able to get so close to so many new people and meet people that I now cannot imagine my life without in such a short amount of time. Looking back on the beginning of this trip I was so so so sure that I would be counting down the days before I could go home again and see all of my friends. Now I find myself constantly trying to not think about the fact that we […]
How is it possible we only have a week and a half left. Sitting in work this week everyday seems to be moving as slow as always but the second John and I get on the five O’clock bus it seems like we blink and the day is over. I can not stop thinking about how we only have a couple days in Dublin left before we won’t all see eachother again until the semester starts. Just last night me, Bella, Sam, and John were talking about how although it will only be for a month since the day we […]
This past weekend we took a class trip to northern Ireland which started with a stop at the Titanic Museum. From there we went to Belfast and were able to grab lunch and explore the city. Our last activity of the day was participating in the Black taxi tours. We were divided up into small groups to hear about the history of northern Ireland however, some groups had catholic taxi drivers and other groups had protestant taxi drivers. The stop on the taxi that I found most interesting was Bombay street. Many of the houses on that street to this […]
This past week in Dublin my mom and little sister came to visit. I was so excited for them to come so I could take them to all of my favorite spots. Their first night here.

My Big is doing an internship program in Dublin and the next night we were able to meet her at dinner at my favorite restaurant ryleigh’s. One of our first nights here our apartment went out to dinner at ryleigh’s and unanimously agreed that when our parents made the trip over […]
I have never been very good at living in the moment. I plan out every minute of my day for the upcoming week on Sunday nights from my meals, what time ill work out, what tasks I will complete each day, even going down to designating Netflix time throughout the dy. I follow my schedule to a t. With every action there is a consequence good or bad nothing is an isolated experience and that has always impacted my actions. Ive never done something without thinking about how it will impact future event. At home this was easy, natural, every […]
“This is going to be the best experience of your life” “It will change how you think of the world” “You’ll thank me later for pushing you to do this” All things my mom told me leading up to this trip. I truly could not have imagined what she meant at the time but writing this blog already almost 3 weeks into this experience I could not thank her enough for pushing me to this. This weekend we took a trip to Galway which has been without a doubt one of my favorite experiences of their trip. The first day […]
