Let me first start off with saying welcome back and thank you for being patient with me. I know that it’s been a while since I’ve posted, but with the end of my program and the start of my classes back home I really wanted to soak up everything and enjoy these seasons of change. With that being said, I’m hoping to start this little side project back up! I have so much material to write about that I’ve gathered from my program, and even though it’s been a while since it’s happened I hope it helps those who are going down for a College Program or even just a vacation find some inspiration on what to see, do, and experience.
So to start things back up again, I’ve decided to revisit my Bucket List that I made before the start of my program and show you what exactly I got accomplished! 7 months worth of adventures are compiled on this list, some being added and some being edited. If you are gearing up for a program I highly recommend making a bucket list. It gives you something to look forward to while waiting to go down there as well as give you a list of possible things to do when you have free time.
A lot of what is compiled on this list is up for further discussion on this blog and I’m looking forward to explaining into greater detail my adventures during the program.
