As a college senior, I think it’s funny to look back at my perceptions of college as a high school senior and match it to the reality I’ve been through the past few years. There wasn’t much dialogue in my household or middle school about college until I entered high school which is when the [...]
Cold Summers & Red Lakes — A July in Bolivia Check this video out to learn about how grants made my summer memorable and full of learning experiences!
As this is my third year in college, I was thinking about the expectations I’d had versus the reality. College is definitely different than I had pictured it to be.

Coming back to campus felt surreal, perhaps still yet. When you turn into a junior, like me, the campus starts to get smaller, not in the literal sense. I mean that my group of friends reduces, but that does not mean it is a bad thing, the complete opposite. This year, the plan is for [...]

This summer ended up being one of the most productive summers I have had in years (actually they have all been productive in some way for the past few years). Fall is looming and I am expected to return to campus early next week. But focusing on the summer of 2017, I have to say [...]
