I am 18! How exciting! I started off this very important day with a shower... I don't know why I am sharing this with you but... alas, I am. I had class from 9-12 and had lunch with the girls. I took time to watch, embarrassingly enough, the Hannah Montana movie (I cannot believe I am admitting this...

One of the things that the juniors and seniors at Butler are most proud of is our status as children of the 1980s. Yes, we are the babies of the decade, and we really don't have too many coherent memories from it, but it still makes us feel way more retro and cool to say we lived in such a ridiculous...

Hello again! Can you keep track of where I've been in the world this week? : ) As some of you may remember, I am interning for the IndyFringe theatre festival here this summer. Last weekend, my coworker Justin and I went on a "work" trip to check out the Toronto Fringe and see how they...

...stands for SENIOR. Also known as what I have officially become as of 5 pm Monday. But let's not say it too much, because the last few days and thinking about how little time I truly have left in college has gotten me even more stressed than finals. I had no exams, but my finals this year were...

Although I’ve been back in the States for about two months now, I still find myself thinking about study abroad on almost a daily basis. Almost everything reminds me of something from Spain. I talk about my experience in my classes all the time! It is ridiculous how much you can learn about the...

Hello from BUTLER! Yes I am finally back at school getting ready for sorority recruitment (and loving it!). However, before I get totally back into the swing of my crazy BU life, I want to hang on to the study abroad memories a little bit longer with a few extra posts I wrote in Spain. I know they’re...

You might think I’m making this up just to make a good story for my blog, but I SWEAR, this really happened to me, not once but twice in Europe. Let me explain. As you may remember, I recently took a trip to London, where obviously, I needed to go on a Harry Potter tour. Our guide designated one...

You all know that I love living in Spain, and that being here has inspired me to declare my double major. Still, my first love – and my first major – is English Literature. Luckily, I was able to ditch Spanish class for a few days and head off to the land of Shakespeare, Dickens and Jane...

I got a great question about studying abroad from rme3 the other day and thought I would share the answer with all of you: How easy was it to study abroad? Do you lose essential classes to graduate or can you complete those abroad? Studying abroad at Butler is easy to do (and totally worth it!). We have...

I hate to flake out on you guys without a "real" post this week, but it is already 1:30 am in Spain, I am leaving for England TOMORROW... and I haven't even started packing. Typical Christina. I actually did have intentions to plan this trip ahead of time. I was going to go in three weeks...

When I first realized I would be out of the country during my first presidential election as a voter, I was really disappointed. I mean, how exciting must it be to live on an American college campus now?? Every time I get emails from College Democrats or see announcements about the Election Night viewing...

Well, friends, it’s that time of year again… midterms! I believe that Butler had them last week (during Homecoming? bad planning) but here in Spain, I have them tomorrow and Thursday. Midterms always stress me out more than anything else… it is the time of year when I am most likely to stay up late into...

Are any of you familiar with the old jazz tune "Autumn Leaves"? When I was in the Bluecoats colorguard this summer, it was our corps song, so I got to know the words quite well. My favorite is the line "I miss you most of all, my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall." Well, autumn...

One question I always get from prospective students is about roommates. This is understandable; most of us have never shared a bedroom with our siblings, much less a perfect stranger. I have mostly had good experience with my roommates throughout college, but studying abroad seemed a little scary… I...

Dearest readers, before we go on any further, I’m going to have to make a confession to you: I am a huge English major nerd. Last year, I took a Jane Austen seminar class, and I spent the entire fall trying to convince my classmates to come with me and do our reading in the English gardens across the...
