Cole Vandevanter week 8 blog

It is really hard to believe that this is my final blog post, which means that this is also my final week in Dublin. While this last week has been filled with trying to try as many new places around the city as possible, as well as going to some of my favorite spots for the last time, this past weekend was spent in the sunny capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam. We got up incredibly early on Friday morning to get to the airport in time for our flight at six in the morning, but I cannot complain about the […]

Braden Beagle: Dublin Week 8

As my time to Dublin comes to an end, I’m very happy to say that this has been my favorite week on the trip so far. Over our free weekend this past week some of my friends on the trip and I took a few day trip to Amsterdam. I have honestly been looking forward to this trip so much since the moment we planned it about a month ago. We left extremely early in the morning and had to be up at 3am to catch our flight so I actually didn’t even go to bed that night as I […]

Wrapping Up

I cannot believe we are cherishing the final days here in Ireland. This has been the fastest 8 weeks, and I am so happy I got to experience everything that I did.

It is safe to say that I overcame all of those doubts very quickly, and absolutely loved my time here. I gained new friendships that will last a lifetime, and look forward to continuing them back on campus. The internship was also a great experience for me, getting […]

Last Week!

Last week before we head home! This last free weekend, I felt like I didn’t have it in me to visit a European country because this program has shown me so much about Ireland. However, this came with the price of being exhausted, and with school starting soon, I thought I needed a weekend off for myself. I chose to stay in Dublin and do a lot of activities that I didn’t get to do in the past seven weeks due to a packed schedule.  I didn’t want to stress myself out too much by going to many places every […]

Ireland Week 8 Blog:

After an exciting first seven weeks, we finally arrived at our last week here in Dublin. From the very beginning of this trip, I didn’t know what to expect, but now, as I look back on my final week, I find myself wondering what I was ever worried about. Here in Dublin, I made an abundance of friends, whether it be my classmates, coworkers, and even my professors. I think my initial worry sprouted from the idea of stepping out of my comfort zone, immersing myself in a new country, and trying to integrate into an unfamiliar environment.The initial stages […]
