So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain Favorite TV show: 24, Heroes, Friends What is the best advice on writing you’ve ever received? Proofread, proofread, proofread and read your papers out loud to yourself. Where is the most interesting place you’ve been? Where would you like to go? I spent my first half of junior year abroad in Paris. In the short span of four months, I visited Versailles, Champagne, Venice, Florence, Munich, London, Dublin, Madrid, Barcelona, and Amsterdam. It is hard to choose a favorite place because each city is unique in various ways. My two favorite cities were Paris and Barcelona for different reasons. Paris was the most beautiful and possessed a romantic aura you could not escape, whereas Barcelona had the most distinctive and interesting architecture around its city walls. Although I just returned to Loyola, I hope to continue to travel in the future. I aspire to journey to Prague, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, and all over Italy. |
