¡Sobreviví la primera semana! ~ I survived the first week! We’ve all arrived and settled with our new families in Valladolid, Spain. It’s such a change from the U.S., but all our families are so welcoming and such characters! My roommate (Sam) and my mom is so sweet and calls us ‘mi hijas, mi hijas‘ […]

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: […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]
