On campus I’m president of Marathon Runners of UWSP and secretary of Yoga & Meditation Club of UWSP. Both are awesome organization where I really got to […]

One thing I learned while at UW-Stevens Point–and I guess not really about life–is how to apply for scholarships. I have put myself through college the last four years (plus interims!) so I had to apply to countless scholarships. I recently looked at my little Financial tab-thinger under myPoint and found I was awarded around […]

Last weekend, I took a day trip down to Dover and Canterbury to see some famous historical sites. The one that really caught my attention was Dover Castle. First off, it is huge! You could literally spend an entire day here and not see everything, which was a little upsetting because I only had two […]

Hola Chicos! Feliz marzo! I hope it’s getting warmer in Wisconsin, I know it was cold and snowy all February. It has actually snowed quite a bit in Valladolid this past month. We were told it never snowed here but it’s probably snowed at least five times, although it’s always short periods on time and […]
