I’m sorry, what? I know I wasn’t the only one thinking it, but holy cow! He wants us to pack 10 days worth of outfits into a hiking bag? That was the first anxiety and fear that hit me when I was sitting in our Scotland class talking about the trip. Dr. Rubenstein had mentioned…

We have been home for about 4 days and I thought life would slow down a bit, but it hasn’t. Between analyzing data and adjusting to the time change, I still feel like I haven’t settled in. Taking a minute to step away from my group and trip, I’m walking away with such gratitude. I…

Whew! What a long day. We spent the day taking a bus tour of the Highlands of Scotland. My favorite part of today was taking a boat tour of Loch Ness. During my childhood, my mother (who is Irish) used to tell us and sing about different folk tales of Scotland and Ireland. I spent…

More importantly, blessed to be a student in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. The opportunities afforded to the students in our college are…

We leave for Scotland in mere hours and I am not sure what emotions I’m supposed to have. I have never been out of the country, I have barely been out of the tri state area except on a few, rare occasions so no one emotion has hit me yet. I am excited to go…

We leave for Scotland in a little less then 24 hours now and I AM SO EXCITED! I still have absolutely nothing packed which usually means I’m doomed to overpack!Other than that, I am beyond excited because I am always up for an adventure, especially when its somewhere I’ve never been. I have a LOVE…

I was born with a need to meet new people and see new places in my heart. It has become my norm to feel restless. This restlessness can only be quelled by adventure. Sometimes I can stick a bandage on it by dreaming of my next adventure, but nothing works as well as seeing new…
