If you have studied abroad where did you go and what was your favorite thing about it?

I haven’t studied abroad, but I would love to study in England. I’m a huge Shakespeare fan, so it would be amazing to see where he lived and worked.

What fun things did you do this summer?

I went to California with my family, which is always a good time. My mom’s side lives there so it’s great to see family you haven’t seen in awhile!
