    To you: Going abroad is for thrill seekers, adventure catching people who have completely and utterly lost it. Well, I guess I lost it because I came- I saw- and I conquered Dumfries, Scotland. Whenever I called my parents and told them about going to Scotland, they were a little confused and wondered why because…

    Studying abroad in Uruguay was truly one for the books. I had the opportunity to experience a new culture and become immersed in a country that I had only heard things about in previous spanish classes. The people were always kind (and beautiful might I add). Most people know that I’m a very picky eater,  but the food there…

    My time in Scotland was certainly the highlight of my study abroad experience, but I’m sure that it was only the beginning. It’s funny how small the world seems when you have built relationships within a community that is thousands of miles away. Because of this class and the trip, my eyes were opened to the importance of…

    I find myself saying “When I was in Uruguay..” a lot lately and I have determined that I will use any excuse to tell a story from my week in Uruguay. I didn’t realize how often I told these stories until my friends asked me, “Not another Uruguay story…” and more often than not I…

    Without reservation, the opportunity to be a part of the Uruguay: Sustainable Beef and Grain Production and Marketing Systems Study Abroad will be one of the highlights of my college years. The chance to interact with individuals in an entirely different culture changed my perception of the world. Although there were some major discrepancies in…
