When I signed up for this trip, I was so incredibly excited and thankful for this opportunity. I never in a million years thought I would be able to visit 5 countries in 3 weeks at age 20. However, I was a little nervous because I had never flown on my own…. let alone traveled…

There is an undeniable connection between food and community. We have all experienced it; a good meal that brings people together, the laughter and memories made. Being a student in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, I love to see food bringing people together. However, there was something really unique about the food experience…

I have dreamed of going to the United Kingdom all of my life. When I was about twelve, I redecorated my room at home in UK decor. I had framed pictures of Big Ben and the Tower Bridge. I had a Union Jack flag rug, a red telephone booth bank, and numerous other items filled…

I am, by definition, an introvert. I would rather be by myself than with a group of people any day of the week. In high school, I had my set group of friends, but spent most of my time studying, alone. When I decided to attend UGA, my mother thought it would be a great…

I will admit, I am cheap when it comes to grocery shopping. I do not mind sacrificing some quality for a cheaper price. Most everything I buy is off-brand, because I honestly cannot tell a difference. To me, milk is milk, condiments taste the same regardless of brand and not buying well-known brands does not…
