“Fusion” of cultures

June 1, 2018 adminLeave a comment

I had seen the South Asian Student Association perform at Eve of Nations and been completely blown away. All of the performances had amazed me, but this association’s performance had really stuck with me. When I heard about the event on the South Oval, I knew I had to go and immediately bought my ticket.… Continue reading “Fusion” of cultures

Being the Face (Mr. and Miss. International)

June 1, 2018 adminLeave a comment

Each year, OU holds an event called Mr. and Miss. International. Similar events are held for different cultural groups of which I was also able to catch a couple, but this one was of the most international importance and is one that I’m still trying to work through the pros and cons. What I find… Continue reading Being the Face (Mr. and Miss. International)

OU Cousin’s BBQ

June 1, 2018 adminLeave a comment

This was an event I had heard about for ages. Because of a weird thing last year, I was unable to attend, but I made it a point to clear that day so I could absolutely make it to this event. I would give advice to everyone to do the same, because this was such… Continue reading OU Cousin’s BBQ

Eve of Nations (1/3 International Events)

April 25, 2018 adminLeave a comment

Eve of Nations I had heard about Eve of Nations since before I had attended OU. I put it on my calendar this year and decided that nothing would prevent me from going. When the time came, even though I had no friends to go with me, I bought a dinner ticket. The day of,… Continue reading Eve of Nations (1/3 International Events)

NISO: You Got a Friend in Me

April 25, 2018 adminLeave a comment

My international group this semester has been NISO. That’s New International Student Orientation. I was driven to become a peer mentor for NISO because returning from my own study abroad experience, I decided I was in the perfect place to be able to help students as they took on their own abroad adventure. I was… Continue reading NISO: You Got a Friend in Me

Thankful, Thankful

November 24, 2017December 6, 2017 adminLeave a comment

Thanksgiving was a hard time to be away from my family. I come from a family where holidays are a big deal. My roommates and I planned a Thanksgiving dinner and extended the invitation to all our local friends (and our proffessor) to come and partake in their first Thanksgiving. From the moment I woke… Continue reading Thankful, Thankful

No Language Needed

November 15, 2017December 6, 2017 adminLeave a comment

Arts are an incredible thing. They transcend barriers of language, age, and culture. They give us a way to communicate that everyone can understand if they listen. I have been attending quite a few artistic events while here in Puebla. I have gone to recitals of dance and music, museums, and art galleries. I have… Continue reading No Language Needed

Hey Cinderella

October 31, 2017 adminLeave a comment

In honor of Halloween, I figured I’d talk about how studying abroad makes me feel like a princess. I could take this post a lot of directions, but for now I think a conversation I had with one of my flatmates best describes it. I was explaining how I was planning on missing a class… Continue reading Hey Cinderella

The City, Country, and Colonial Mouse

October 20, 2017October 31, 2017 adminLeave a comment

By mouse, I really just mean experience. October has been a whirlwind (again, it’s a reoccurring theme in study abroad I have found). We took THREE weekend trips back to back. We went to a very country side view of Mexico in La Preciosita- an amazing indigenous community where I hiked up several mountains on… Continue reading The City, Country, and Colonial Mouse

September Recap

October 1, 2017 adminLeave a comment

Today is technically October first, but for my last September blog post I want to make a wrap up of the month that was an absolute whirlwind. The first of the month was my birthday. I turned twenty in Mexico, on a Friday. A major perk of our program is that we don’t have classes… Continue reading September Recap
