Go Bonas!

This past Friday, I packed some clothes, some food, and filled up my gas tank then made the drive up to St. Bonaventure University. I wanted to say a final goodbye to my friends who I won’t see until January. While the 5 hour drive was not too exciting, it was so much fun to be back at Bonas. It inspired me to write about the spirit of our school. 

Goodbye My Brother

Today was move in day for my younger brother. He has left the nest, left our hometown, and left New Jersey. It’s a weird feeling, knowing my brother is growing up and doing big things with his life. I am still immensely proud of him, and only a little disappointed he didn’t choose St. Bonaventure.  

Everyone’s Leaving…

As summer is coming to a close, a lot of my hometown friends have begun to pack up and get ready to go back to college. Some people have already moved in, which I’m incredibly jealous of. As much as I love my family, I am very much looking forward to living on my own again without the insanity of dealing with three younger brothers. Since I don’t go to Ireland until September 9th, (START THE COUNTDOWN!) I’m just taking a moment to reflect on this summer and what it was like to be home again. 

Walkin’ Back To Georgia

Family vacations are a staple to any summer break. This summer, my parents decided to do a road trip (longest car ride of my life) down to visit my family in Savannah, Georgia. What I expected was sweet tea, strong accents, and hot weather. While the hot weather was an obvious, it didn’t occur to me there would be such an Irish presence in the area.

One Big Irish Family

It’s been a while, hasn’t it! Don’t worry, I plan on writing more abroad. The details of planning for my time abroad are a little boring, from filling out forms to scheduling flights. I still want to write, so here’s an update on what’s been going on before I leave the States!
