It’s a struggle trying not to view my time in Barcelona as a long-term vacation, where I just sit on the beach, eat tapas and go shopping all day. Learning to balance work and play is key to a meaningful study abroad experience.

One of the most unfortunate activities SEMO students face on a college campus could be the long, tedious walks whenever they need to go anywhere on campus like going to class or getting food. This issue is certainly present at SEMO and although some students have the ability to park their cars in multiple lots, most students do not get the same luxury.

The type of American Girl Doll (AGD) you resonate with says something about you. It’s the same sort of phenomenon that occurs among us when discussing our favorite member of a (boy) band or even our favorite character in a game. For example, if you were/are a Harry gal, you’re a little crunchy granola. (There’s no shade here; me, too, baby — me, too.)

I think we all know that sometimes the astrology memes and weirdly detailed descriptions of zodiac signs can be a little far reaching at times, but 14 year old me would strongly disagree.

Everything in Times Square is the best: the best in the city, the best in the country, the best in the world. I don’t know how it’s possible, but every pizzeria on the block is labeled New York City’s best. There are so many “best” pizza places, the only way to discover the true best pizza is to Google it.

I love waiting. Waiting in line at Starbucks. Waiting for class to start. Waiting in the car to arrive at my destination. I’m not being sarcastic; I truly love these moments. They provide a space to breathe in my schedule. A space to simply be a person in the world.

A portrait of a soldier gravely wounded on a battlefield. The painting used cultural understanding of religious depictions of the wounding and death of Jesus as a language to communicate the pain felt by the subjects of the painting.

My uncle owns a cabin in the mountains. It’s nestled against a hill on a beautiful piece of ranch land.There’s a stable with horses and a long front porch for watching the sunrise or staring at the Milky Way.
