Goodbyes are never easy but when you fall in love with a place that is 22 hours away it's impossible. I’ve come to terms with the fact that leaving Australia is a necessity because I’m a senior graduating in May. Thankfully for me, I won’t have to say goodbye, I will say see you later.…

My time in Australia unfortunately has come to an end. After taking my last final, I lived in denial for a while over the fact that I would be flying home in just three short weeks.

One month ago, I embarked on my first trip out of America. Destination: London, England. I planned to complete a two-month internship with IES Abroad and Centre 404, a charity supporting people with autism and learning disabilities.

One thing that I have always wanted to do was study abroad, so when I went to college, I made it my mission to make it happen. I attended the meetings, looked at the programs and talked to the leaders but there were no programs that I felt like were for me. When I enrolled…

If you had told my five-year-old self that I would be living out my Finding Nemo fantasy as a 21-year-old college student, I would have jumped up and down and asked how I ended up in Sydney. When I applied to study abroad I was stuck between two cities one of which was London and…
