What you've been doing abroad: I have been thoroughly enjoying my time here in Spain as I make a ton of new friends, practice my Spanish, and eat a concerning amount of tapas. So far I have visited Amsterdam, Berlin, Majorca, Rome, and Dublin. I have lots more trips planned ahead and I am so so grateful to be able to travel the world for a semester!! The locals of Barcelona are some of the nicest people I have ever met. You would think they would get tired of all the American study abroad students and tourists, but they are nothing but friendly and I have actually been lucky enough to get to know a good amount of them. This city has literally anything you could ever want: beaches, mountains, cities, the countryside, an amazing nightlife, dangerously good shopping, and most importantly, EVERYONE HAS A DOG so it is heaven to me. Also everything is soooo cheap, a 24 pack of eggs isn't even two euros. I highly recommend anyone that can to try and study abroad here!!! And if you do, you should expect a visit from me. 
Favorite thing about Theta: My favorite part about Theta would have to be how weird everyone is, and I mean that in the best way possible. We don't care about being normal or try to be something we're not. The best nights I can remember of college are the ones when we would just goof around until 3 in the morning in the Theta house kitchen. I miss all my Theta gals sooooooo so much and although I love my time here in Europe, I am counting down the days until I can be back with you all again.

Italian culture is very different from American culture, but it is extremely refreshing to experience. Some of my favorite things to do in Rome are having lunch on the Spanish Steps, visiting the Trevi fountain at night, and seeing the view from the wedding cake monument at sunset. I have also had the amazing opportunity to travel around Europe and visit countries such as Switzerland, Hungary, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Czech Republic and many cities in Italy. With each new place I gained first hand knowledge about each place’s culture. One of my favorite things to do in each new place is to ask the locals which restaurants and food dishes are their favorites. So far, none have disappointed! Probably my two ...

I have traveled to various cities across the country and am learning so much about different cultures while also enhancing my Spanish skills. I could not ask for a better experience and I cannot believe that the semester is already coming to an end. Although I am having an amazing semester here, I do miss good ole College Park and in particular Theta! Favorite thing about theta:  I love how unique, special, and different every person in Theta is and I am so grateful for the friendships it has given me. I love Theta because we are such a fun loving yet weird bunch of girls and my college experien...
