Spring time in Ireland has been my favorite season to experience yet. While the days are still gloomy and rainy, when the sun comes out it feels like a whole different country. The people are friendlier, professors more lenient and the landscape is absolutely beautiful. This month was spent mostly with friends, getting to travel for our two week spring break. In the month of March I had the opportunity to travel to Morocco and Malta with some of my best friends. Hiking through the Sahara and island hopping in the Mediterranean was truly an indescribable experience. I was also lucky enough to have my mom and brother visit me at the end of March. I got to play tour guide and show them around Dublin, as well as getting to travel to new counties in Ireland to experience for the first time with them. March also brought Saint Patrick’s day; getting to spend this holiday in the country it originated from was an amazing experience I’ll never get to have again. Getting to really delve into Irish culture and make friends with the locals was my favorite part of the day. I was extra lucky this month!
