Hola chicos! As we make our way through November, I am realizing that it is around this time of the year that everyone suddenly seems less healthy. From colds to flu season, and leftover Halloween candy to holiday binge eating; it seems everyone partakes in at least some unhealthy activities. I have already had a […]

So the thing they never tell you about studying abroad is that you actually have to study sometimes … It’s rough. No, really it’s not too bad; I’m actually taking an Art and Architecture class and a Theatre class, and they’re both incredibly enlightening. You may think to yourself, “My, what’s that got to do […]

They serve macaroons at McDonald’s in France. No kidding; we couldn’t believe it! Just to clarify we only went into McDonald’s in Paris in the first place because we heard about the macaroons and just had to try. Now I’m no macaroon connoisseur, but we had one in the group and she said they […]

As I mentioned in blog #1, I am currently involved in an internship at a charity named emerge poverty free here in London. It has been an extremely interesting experience thus far, and I’d like to talk about it just a bit. First off, to be honest I was very nervous about this internship; I […]

As you know, I’ve been studying social entrepreneurship in my Business 390 course, Business Ethics, with Professor Lyna Matesi. A few weeks ago, we had Wayne Kostroski, Taste of the NFL founder, come into our classroom for a two-part presentation on social entrepreneurship, ethical business practices and general life lessons. He drew on his life […]

I’ve always been big on signing up for things. This is probably the first thing and possibly the most important thing to understand about me, other than my awful, dry, and sarcastic sense of humor. My friend Ryan Specht, with whom I worked on an independent writing credit, suggested last spring semester that I consider […]
