Visiting this city has been my favorite part of the trip thus far. It is BEAUTIFUL, just look at that view from the hill! We had a great morning for the entry tour here, as the sun was shining warmly over the city. It’s very historic, and known as a crossroads of three world religions: […]

Welcome to Madrid!

 Comments Off on Welcome to Madrid! Tags: , , , ,

Hola, y bienvenidos a España! We’re here! Right in the heart of Madrid, Spain. What a beautiful, romantic, vivacious city. Buildings of all different colors surround you as you navigate on narrow cobblestoned sidewalks and pathways. The hazy sky brings a cool temperature, but only a balmy 50˚F, nothing like the current Wisconsin climate! Spaniards […]

Last weekend I packed up my life in Stevens Point! I’m preparing now to head off to Valladolid, Spain for my final semester. After my finals were finished I rallied up my friends and we celebrated a great semester and said our final farewells. I’ve met some amazing people at UW-Stevens Point! It was bittersweet […]

Alright. I’m gonna lay down some Student Government Association business on you right now. The first thing you need to know is that as a senator representing the student body, I do not have my own opinion about this. This isn’t an op-ed piece; I’m just making this information available to you all. All two […]

At the beginning of the semester, four students and myself in the business administration major capstone course (Bus 480) sat down in front of underclassmen and shared our ‘words of wisdom’ for survival of a business major. It was the first School of Business & Economics (SBE) event of the semester, and a fun one […]

Experiencing Europe with Kathe

My first experience in this whole London ordeal was missing my flight from Central Wisconsin Airport to Chicago, catching a later flight and having to go into extreme hustle mode to catch up with my other Stevens Point compadres (who I didn’t even know were my compadres at the time). When I finally caught up […]

SPAFCS and how I’m in it

I’d love to say that I’m sorry and I’m finally done talking about FCS (family & consumer sciences), but I’d be lying. Because I’m going to keep talking about FCS for one more post, just give me one more post and also because I don’t even feel bad. I love FCS. If you don’t love […]

As I keep saying and saying and saying, I started my first year here as an English and German double major–and stick with me, I’m going somewhere with this. I can actually pinpoint the moment in my first UW-Stevens Point German class where I began to think that while I loved the language, teaching it […]

The Sandwich

There’s this epic sandwich in London. A sandwich so epic, in fact, that according to professional-at-life Carolyn Matthews, “It’s the perfect hot sandwich. It has everything you’re looking for in a hot sandwich.” It’s the Duck Confit Brioche. Duck confit, goat cheese honey truffle, arugula, onion chutney, mustard, all on a homemade brioche. One thing […]

Big, Bad and Scary: Business 480

 Comments Off on Big, Bad and Scary: Business 480 Tags: , , , ,

I’m currently in the last semester of my business degree and therefore am taking the capstone course for all business majors: Bus. 480. It’s reputation can be frightening; it is known to be difficult, time consuming, stressful, and cover a lot of topics you probably forgot about from all your degree requirements. Being almost done […]
