	Copenhannah: Music In Denmark By Hannah Miller November 10, 2011 - 3:09pm Jason Aldean who? Toby Keith huh? For a country music fan, Copenhagen is not the place to be. Here in Copenhagen, the music is a little different…much more House than Hoedown. Here is a little taste of what you might hear in a Danish club (fist pumping necessary): This is Medina. Denmark’s “it girl” at the moment. Her song “Kun for Mig” has been in my head since the first day of Danish class when our teacher showed us the music video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHuWj6ycquQ READ MORE
	Stef on Spain: 10 Things I Don't Hate About Sevilla By Stefanie Groner November 8, 2011 - 1:14pm AKA 10 things I did in the last two days while I did not have any time to blog 1. Made travel plans to go more places. It's so hard to say "No" to 9Euro tickets. But it's also hard to leave Sevilla ever. I might never come home. READ MORE
	Copenhannah's Busy Life By Hannah Miller November 3, 2011 - 4:29pm Status: Sitting in a hip coffee shop drinking a cheap $7.50 vanilla latte (yes, that is actually a real steal here) and taking a break from life. Life is HECTIC here! I feel like I am always on the go with no chance to catch my breath. Well suck it Copenhagen, I’m catching my breath now. I have one hour before I need to start my paper that is due at midnight. So I decided to treat myself to a coffee (sadly not Caribou) and reflect back upon my week. READ MORE
	Megan's Menu: Pumpkin Muffins By Megan McCormack November 2, 2011 - 5:48pm After the recent ping-pong weather, I feel as if Fall has finally arrived. Coming to Evanston after growing up in the South, Fall has quickly become my favorite season. I love watching the magic of green, yellow, red and orange speckling the sky. This stretch of time – the beginning of October to mid-December – not only brings a change in weather, but also a variety of bold earthy flavors – pumpkin, apple and butternut squash. These fall favorites add a zesty kick to drinks, dishes or pastries, giving the kitchen versatility you might miss out on in the other seasons. READ MORE

	Copenhannah Talks Politics By Hannah Miller October 27, 2011 - 3:14pm September 16th was a BIG day in Denmark: Election Day! A new party defeated the government that had been in charge for ten years AND Denmark elected its first female Prime Minister. Helle Thorning-Schmidt aka the new big wig! I have been in Denmark during the entire campaign period and I’ve noticed a few things, a few things that America could maybe jot down: 1) The 179 members of Parliament and the Prime Minister have a four-year term, but unlike in America, the Prime Minister can call for new elections before the four years is up if all is going to hell.

	Megan's Menu: Smoked Salmon Wrap With Avocado By Megan McCormack October 20, 2011 - 5:49pm Cooking is my passion. Every time I get to stand in the kitchen, I’m full of utter joy. All else is forgotten and, if even for a short time, I escape all the other things happening in my life. Ever since I can remember, I have accompanied my mom in the kitchen. Starting out as her sous chef, I gradually promoted myself to executive chef – and we still banter about which one of us has the better qualifications. Of course, I can’t put her down too long; she DID teach me everything I know. READ MORE
	Copenhannah Goes To Prison By Hannah Miller October 20, 2011 - 5:17pm I would like to dedicate this post to my dad who was a prison guard for 30 years. I think working at a prison would be emotionally and physically draining, yet he never complained once. I love you! Last Friday, my class went on a tour of an open prison. An open prison? I had never heard of this concept before and it was mind-blowing. Here are the basics: READ MORE
