Last time, I wrote about my top 5 things to take advantage of when in Barcelona so I thought this time I would write about 5 things you probably shouldn't do on your visit here. 1. Don't J-walk: Back home if you don't follow the crossing signals the worse thing that will happen is a … Continue reading 5 Dont’s in Barcelona
5 Must Do’s when in Barcelona
As my days here in Barcelona start to dwindle down, I ask myself if I've truly done everything I've wanted to do while i'm here. This city has so much to offer and I realize that I could probably live here forever and never get to do EVERYTHING I could hope. Lucky for me - … Continue reading 5 Must Do’s when in Barcelona
Oh Barcelona….
Where do I even begin to describe how much I love you. As if the beauty around every corner wasn't enough to capture your attention and the history and pride of your people didn't bring chills to your bones, it's uniqueness surely would. If seen from an aerial view, Barcelona looks the same, but … Continue reading Oh Barcelona….
The Catalan People
In my time in Barcelona, I’ve encountered several people who are also visiting from the States and one thing they say always resonates in my head and it goes a little something like – “Catalan people are rude,” or “Why do people in Barcelona always respond to me in Catalan?" "Why do they have that … Continue reading The Catalan People
Saudade
Saudade: The only word I can use to express how I feel and I can't even explain it at all. It's a Portuguese word that has no direct translation to English so no explanation could do it justice but this is the best I can do: A longing; a feeling that something has been lost … Continue reading Saudade

For too long I had been hearing both from my grandpa and my best friend Lindsey and from other friends who had gone on birthright trips before me about … Continue reading Israel is Home
Finding your luck
Seeing as it's St. Patricks day, it seemed only reasonable (at least in my mind) to talk about finding your luck, and no I don't mean a pot of luck at the end of the rainbow. Thinking about the things that have happened in my life in the past month and looking at people in … Continue reading Finding your luck
The Future of my Homeland

After a runoff election and almost a a week since the polls closed it appears that the choice - and therefore the fundamental idea of democracy - has been taken away from the people altogether in what seems like … Continue reading The Future of my Homeland
#WhyIRelayWednesdays
#WhyIRelayWednesdays With Relay 4 Life coming up on my campus, I've had a lot of time to stop and remember those people who have battled cancer. Today, my sorority's relay 4 life chair encouraged us to look beyond the other things going on in our lives and reflect and even join the cause. Relay 4 … Continue reading #WhyIRelayWednesdays
Ageless Love
Looking through my portfolio I found a picture of one of my favorite pieces of art I've ever made. It's a bit weird and abstract but I enjoyed every second of making it happen. It was inspired by something I wrote (based off one of my favorite poems/quotes) and to this day looking at it … Continue reading Ageless Love
