My first week in France is over and I am already exhausted but surprised that the week went by so fast. Every day I begin my days around 6:30 to shower and get ready to leave our residence by 7:30. We walk to the metro station which we ride for about twenty minutes. Then we…

I knew the moment I attended UGA’s “First Look” program that I wanted to study abroad. At that time, I didn’t know where I wanted to go, nor what type of program I wanted to go through, but once I saw that French was a language option I could learn here, I knew that France…

This has two components: funding the trip, and international monetary accessibility. Studying abroad can be expensive, no doubt, but it doesn’t have…

It is days before my departure and I can only help, but feel like how I did freshman year when I was packing my bags to leave my hometown for Athens. I feel like I am somehow over-packing, but also not packing enough and mixed with emotions of joy, excitement, anxiety, and the unknown. I…

The time is finally here! I leave for France tomorrow! Between finals and wrapping up spring semester this trip kind of snuck up on me. Words cannot describe how excited I am for this trip. I am mostly interested in seeing the different forms of agriculture that this trip has to offer. Ever since I began…
