My Semester Abroad

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my page!

So here it is..I'm FINALLY on my way to Rome, Italy for the spring semester begining in January. After many months of planning everything is finally set. Needless to say, I am VERY excited and super grateful for this opportunity. I'll be studying criminal justice and psychology (my major and minor, respectively) and getting to do so on a global level is such a diverse and knowledgable experience! I will also have the chance to explore other parts of Europe while I am there and gain further cultural experiences and perspectives. While this will be my first experience spending any time outside of the U.S., I know the importance of seeing different people and places firsthand. A chance to see the world outside of what i've always known and experience other people, cultures, and histories will be invaluable to my education, future career, and life in general.

Although the bulk of my trip is paid for, there are still a few aspects that can be quite costly and I would hate for what is potentially an extremely immersive and positive experience to become a financial burden for myself. I would be tremendously grateful to anyone who wishes to show a little support for me and this wonderful opportunity! :)

Thanks everyone, ya'll are the best!

Sincerely,
