Buckeyes Abroad: Paris
Hardly has a city ever been more romanticize, written about, painted about and sung about than Paris. I tried to go into my time in Paris with no expectations, and I was absolutely blown away. I was surprised by how navigable the city is: The metro is easy to use, and many of Paris’ top tourist attractions are located centrally to others. We saw as […]

Buckeyes Abroad: Barcelona
Barcelona was more touristy and less beach-y than I expected; for example, the famous Las Ramblas street was crowded at all times of day and night. Still, it was a neat place to explore! I personally found Barcelona not as quaint or beautiful as Madrid (read all about my Madrid trip here), but it is still an amazing city! If you go to Barcelona, you […]

Buckeyes Abroad: Madrid
In August I traveled to Madrid, a vibrant city with rich history and thriving culture. Madrid has beautiful architecture — every alley, every portico, every plaza is out of a movie— and it’s easy to navigate on foot. We stayed right next to the Prado Museum, one of the world’s finest art museums, and we spent several hours there our first day. It’s free for […]

A Room of My Own
After spending the first three years of college living with a roommate, I finally moved into a room that was mine and mine alone. Last year, there were seven people living in my six-bedroom house, and I lived in the attic with one of my housemates. While there was plenty of space and Jake and I got along well, I was eager to move one […]
Read moreYou Never Know Where an Opportunity Will Come From
Well, I thought I knew where my semester was headed. I had the perfect schedule set in stone (no Monday classes, per usual), I had scheduled out which days I’d be going to the gym and going to events with friends. I had time blocked out to study and do homework and write. And then I got an unexpected email. I attended the Career and […]

Surprising ways college does (and doesn’t) change you
College is one of the biggest transition times in life. It hits right in the time of life when you’re trying to figure out how adulthood works and who you are as an individual separate from your family and the place you were raised. During some typical reflection time on my life and the first two thirds of college, I realized how unexpected some of the […]

A sneak peak into my summer internship at Paycor
Over the summer, I interned at Paycor, a human capital management software company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Paycor builds software for small-to-medium-sized companies to assist with their HR needs, including recruiting, hiring, scheduling, onboarding, payroll, tax and benefits. Here’s a sneak peak into the thoughts of a slightly nervous intern on her first day in May: As an internal communications intern, I’ll help write employee […]
Read moreI joined a student organization last minute and it changed my life
Right as finals week hit, a friend of mine told me that she needed a position filled in a student organization she was involved in called Camp Kesem. She said that she had counselors drop and needed a program counselor to fill in during week one. My response surprised both of us: I said yes. In the next month, I hurried to complete hours of […]

Home for the Summer
This summer, I returned home to the great city of Cleveland for a tax internship at a company called Danaher. This was my first professional accounting experience since deciding to study accounting my senior year of high school, and the internship definitely confirmed my interest in the field. Danaher has subsidiaries in over 100 countries, and nearly all of them have to file tax returns […]
Read moreDead Poets Society: College edition
I like outcasts. That’s one of the main reasons I took a poetry seminar last semester. I was ready to see all those goth, Panic! At The Disco and Mitski-loving writers. I love people who are overly emotional, struggling to face their demons, and held back by society’s wishes. Just reveal to me more of your troubles, you weirdos! The second reason I took a […]
