Coming back home from studying abroad

I honestly cannot believe that it has been one year since I came back from Paris. I know I say this all the time but it's honestly crazy how fast time has flown by since I started blogging. Going back home after a year or even a semester abroad can be tricky, but here are some of my tips to make navigating around the airport a bit easier for you.

Wanderlust Tag

When I saw this tag on YouTube I KNEW I had to do it because you all know that I love traveling! I just wish I was back in France so traveling from country to country would be easier and cheaper. I would love to tag all you study abroad students that also got the travel bug during your semester or year abroad. If you film a video make sure to add it as a video response, I would love to hear your responses to the questions. If you don't fee comfortable filming a video then just leave your answers as a comment.

1. Your most treasured passport stamp?

Life as a French and Francophone Studies Major


I'm extremely sorry about the long hiatus. I explained the reason why I was gone on the Facebook fan page but long story short this was my last semester as an undergraduate and I was forced to drop my distractions and focus on finishing strong. I had so many essays to write during the past month alone. I probably wrote about 50+ pages in the course of 3 weeks so as you can imagine, I am exhausted and don't feel like writing an academic paper for quite some time but I do feel like reflecting on the five past years studying French.
