Back again!!

Hello again everybody!
I feel like it has been ages since I last entered a post on this blog! Even more weird is that I am now blogging about MY LAST YEAR OF SCHOOL!!!! WHAT?! What a crazy concept! Its almost hard to believe! Not that I've had too much time to dwell on the subject considering school has started just as busy as ever! I've started my thesis project! As of right now I'm thinking of basing my thesis on something to do with the low income sector of the American population. However, there are so many avenues to cover with this subject it's going to be tough to narrow it down to a manageable thesis question... So it's going to take a considerable amount of further research to decide what I really want to focus on. But I'm ok with that because I feel very passionate about the subject which makes it easier to devote so much time to it.
Anyway, to discuss a less stressful subject I'll tell you about my last semester abroad! Simply put: it was incredible. I was so amazed by everything I saw over there. Every single day I was there it was hard to believe what I was seeing and all of the new things that I was doing that I never imagined I would actually see and touch and experience! I loved the city of London itself but I also enjoyed how easy it was to travel from one city to another and see the rest of Europe! While I was over there I traveled to Prague, Berlin, Dublin, Scotland, and Spain. All of them were so different and incredible.
I think the most interesting thing about going abroad though is how much it teaches you about your own culture and what it really means to be an American. I think seeing other cultures, and other cultures' views of my own culture, really opened up my eyes to looking at America and the customs and beliefs I grew up with in a whole knew way.
For anyone thinking about going abroad I DEFINITELY recommended it! I think it's often times a different experience for everyone but I haven't met anyone who hasn't enjoyed or benefited from it. I think it definitely changed my ambitions for the future and opened my mind up to global possibilities I hadn't even considered before I left!
Well that's all for me at the moment! I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the end of the summer weather! Talk to you soon!
