How to: Find a Pensive MindsetBy April 21, 2013 - 12:58am Locate a ceiling, sky, star, jet-stream, or any other object placed above you. Realize that you are smaller than the universe that privileges your existence. Locate your brain. Turn it off (or dim the lights). Either relax any tension or embrace any frustration and worry.

It’s all about the unknown and, let’s face it, “Type As” are planners. My personal study abroad experience has been all about learning to let go of these plans.

HC Abroad: A Tourist in My Own TownBy November 26, 2012 - 11:13pm Today I thought I’d share with you a few of the “tourist attractions” in my own study abroad town, Aix-en-Provence.

It was built in 1860 and is the first fountain to be built with a basin. The three statues of Justice, Agriculture, and Fine Arts are to represent the main aspects of Aix. READ MORE |
