Setting out on a scholastic adventure comes with all the joys, sorrows, and freak out moments that you might imagine! There is only so much to do in preparation, and it all seems to dawn after the long wait has ended.

The TRUTH About Studying Abroad
"Three and a half months in Spain?! Girl, you're so lucky! I'm so jealous." These are the phrases I heard all summer from my friends and family back home before leaving fall, 2018 for Spain. Yes, it's true: I get to spend almost four months in another county studying the beautiful language and culture of Spain, and for this I'm incredibly thankful. However, there are things I've run into that I wasn't expecting and/or wasn't sure how to handle.

An Honest Student's Year Abroad
Sitting in a massive lecture theatre brimming with over enthusiastic language students, just like me, gushing over the year that is to come. "I'm off to South America," boasts one girl. "I'm headed to China" beams another, already anticipating the oohs and ahhs that are to come. People always tell you that the year abroad is the best part of your whole uni experience.

How I Travel Whilst Living on a University Budget
Leaving for university feels like the ultimate freedom. Leaving your parents home to explore a new place, living in your own space, loads of free time between lectures, and a lovely student loan. You want to see and experience everything. You think that travelling will be easy but before you know it, you're working to endless deadlines and spending all your free time in the library. On top of that, your loan only just covers a night at the SU and some 15p noodles for dinner whilst scrolling longingly though travel bloggers Instagram wondering "just how do they do it?"
