A Weekend in Roma

Image
At 7AM on Friday, May 25, 2018, my study abroad class met our spectacular professor so we could board a train to Rome.  With our backpacks, all sixteen of us climbed on to the train ready for our first overnight weekend trip, unsure of what would happen! Once arrived in Rome we dropped our backpacks off at the Hotel Atlantico where we would stay that weekend  and started venturing through the city.  We walked to the Spanish Steps, the Caravaggio in S. Lugi  dei Francesi Church, to the Pantheon, Museum and Crypt of Capuchin Monks and of course the Trevi Fountain to throw our coins!  Now the Museum and Crypt of Capuchin Monks is not something many have heard of so I will elaborate a little on what exactly this crazy  museum really was!  The museum didn't allow taking pictures but just imagine real bones all over.  The bones seemed a bit blackened because of all the the time that had passed which just made them creepier to me.  The chandelie...

Like most people today, I LOVE Instagram!  I use it personally to post my fun photos of my average Ohio lifestyle but also I use Instagram to follow well known bloggers and fashionistas.  Here are my ten favorite Instagram ladies who I look to the most when it comes to style, tips, and inspiration for my own Instagram! 1. BRE @bresheppard She's adorable and I love her style.  Bre lives in the Seattle area and shares a lot of great tips on her makeup routine and clothing items to buy.  She has great style that isn't over the top or super expensive which as a college student I appreciate!  Bre is definitely my #1 !  P.S.

The biggest scenes in the biggest show. It's the oldest story in the world: one day a new tv show comes on and you fall in love with each character and their story. In 2003, the show "One Tree Hill" was born and stole the hearts of fans of many ages. Torn between the sweet, underdog Lucas and tough, popular boy Nathan, people became hooked through the family and relationship drama the characters went through. To this day new fans arise since "One Tree Hill" is thankfully on Hulu. "One Tree Hill" was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, which is a small town with a beautiful historic district. As a surprise trip, I visited Wilmington and got to see twenty-three "One Tree Hill" locations that were used to film the TV show. Here are the locations with addresses so all you other fans can enjoy Wilmington and get to see the locations that set some of the biggest scenes in "One Tree Hill". 1. Lucas Scott and Karen Roe's ...

As We All Return Home

What has changed in this past year? Will those streets still sing your "late night" songs with you? A year ago we were all graduating with lots of hope and high aspirations for how our first year of college would go. We walked in lines to the catchy graduation tune with high spirits, wondering what life would be like in a year. Well now that year has passed and we are all returning to our home towns. We've each experienced a year like no other at our chosen university. Some have had the best year of their lives, whether that means partying until the sun rose every weekend or achieving the Dean's List. Others may have struggled as they experienced a year they had hoped would have gone better. Either way we all are congregating back to our old hometowns. For many this can be good because we will get to see our families, old friends we've missed, and of course our pets! At the same time. we are leaving this place we now call home and the friendships we have ma...
