I am filled with an abundance of emotions as you&#8217;ll be able to see in my first blog. I have now moved out of Stevens Point, back home to\u00a0Hatley, and have a week before I leave for my internship with The Route City Wealth Club in London, England. I hope that this internship will launch me for a successful start into the financial industry when I graduate December 2016.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goodbye and good riddance to packing<br \/>\n<\/strong>Under much debate I have come to the conclusion that it would be ridiculous for a college student to hire a moving team to pack up one bedroom. This was a split decision. I have had to pack up my room in Stevens Point and pack for London at the same time. This is what I\u00a0did to make my life less miserable.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Packed\u00a0and stored away all of my winter clothes so they were out of the way<\/li>\n<li>Then with a visual inventory of everything left in my closet I took the time to write a\u00a0list of everything I would pack for London. This helped me 1) not forget anything and 2) not over pack!! The worst thing you can do when you&#8217;re packing for months at a time like I am is to pack too many things<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Without the slightest bit of sarcasm, I need some space free in my luggage on my return home to fit all of my Harry Potter souvenirs I intend on purchasing!<\/p>\n<p>Because I have a week at my parents house and am 90% packed for London already I plan on picking select few pieces of clothing out of my luggage and to instead dress like I&#8217;m homeless for the next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goodbye to my friends, family and my Lee Ayers family<br \/>\n<\/strong>I&#8217;m not good with goodbyes. In fact, I&#8217;m so bad with goodbyes that when I know I&#8217;m seeing people for the last time, whether that be friends who have just graduated a week and a half ago or those I will not see and or\u00a0talk to for the next three months, I just simply ignore it.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/05\/miranda201605a.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7080\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7080\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/05\/miranda201605a.jpg\" alt=\"miranda201605a\" width=\"580\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/05\/miranda201605a.jpg 960w, https:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/05\/miranda201605a-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/05\/miranda201605a-768x400.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/05\/miranda201605a-136x70.jpg 136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Until a week ago I&#8217;ve been\u00a0good at ignoring my feelings in this area. I had three of my younger cousins over for an\u00a0evening at my parents house to be able to spend some quality time with them before I leave, knowing, but not acknowledging the fact that\u00a0this was the last time I was going to see them until mid August. And then it happened. I was faced with the one thing all of us who love to ignore our feelings hate: someone who makes us recognize\u00a0the emotions\u00a0we&#8217;re hiding from. My 8-year-old cousin did this to me when she asked to have a sleepover with me the following week and I had to explain that I couldn&#8217;t because I would be leaving for England and that our evening together was meant to be our special time before I left.<\/p>\n<p>Since I now must say thank you to those who took the\u00a0time out of their busy schedules to spend time with me even if it was just for a coffee, a drink or dinner after work. You have made me feel so incredibly valued and loved. And to everyone who tried to mesh their calendars with mine, your effort doesn&#8217;t go unnoticed. I&#8217;m sorry we couldn&#8217;t make something work, but I\u00a0look forward to instead\u00a0seeing you in August! I didn&#8217;t expect to be as emotional as I have been &#8230; I just know how much I&#8217;ll miss everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goodbye to life as I know it<br \/>\n<\/strong>I wouldn&#8217;t call interning in London a dream I&#8217;ve always had, but rather a plan. As many people reading this already know I&#8217;m a double major studying <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/busecon\/Pages\/default.aspx\">business administration<\/a> with a concentration in finance, real estate and insurance and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wlang\/Pages\/default.aspx\">Spanish<\/a>. To enhance my Spanish degree, I made the decision to spend the summer of my freshman year on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/studyAbroad\/pages\/destinations_short.aspx\">study abroad program<\/a> in Mexico with the intention of learning as much Spanish as I could. I came back from that program a completely different person. My mind and heart were open to an entirely new way of life and I will cherish every last minute of that trip for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/05\/miranda201606mexico.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7085\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7085\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/05\/miranda201606mexico.jpg\" alt=\"miranda201606mexico\" width=\"580\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/05\/miranda201606mexico.jpg 877w, https:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/05\/miranda201606mexico-300x283.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/05\/miranda201606mexico-768x723.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Once I returned home I discovered an\u00a0opportunity for School of Business and Economic students to obtain <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/busecon\/Pages\/Resources\/learnAbroad.aspx\">internships in London<\/a> for the summer and in that moment I decided that in two years I was going to go. For two years I have put myself on a tight budget in order to be able to afford the trip, mapped out the classes I would have to take to be prepared for success\u00a0in London (all with the help of my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/busecon\/Pages\/Faculty\/jresch.aspx\">Aunt Jenny<\/a>), and I studied the industry I want to launch\u00a0my career in to increase my chances of interning for a company that would give me a platform strong enough to achieve my post graduation plans. Now this brings us to present time; I&#8217;m almost gone. I&#8217;m proud of myself for bringing\u00a0this two-year plan into\u00a0reality.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s time for me to say goodbye to my life as I know it because just like when I came home from Mexico, my life will never be the same. I&#8217;m not sure how this trip will change me, but I&#8217;m confident that because of it I will view my life differently. I will see my future goals differently and I will see\u00a0all of the different types\u00a0of relationships I have with people differently because <em>I will be different.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;The trouble is, you think you have time&#8221;<\/strong> -Buddha<\/p>\n<p>Final goodbye from the United States, cheers my friends!<br \/>\nWith Love, Miranda<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/category\/students\/miranda-r\">Miranda Resch \u201916<\/a> is a business administration-FIRE and Spanish double major at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello friends!
