During this pandemic, many of us have turned to books for an escape from the current reality or to take a deep look into our current reality. Whichever your choice, why not add a dash of study abroad inspiration?
With this Tuesday marking the first day of fall, we've been embracing the changing of the seasons. We're hoping the turn of a new šĀ will help us find answers to those random curiosities we all have, like why some people call it "fall" and others call it "autumn" or why Americans are obsessed with pumpkins (don't even try to deny it!).
IES Abroad students use their talents, interests, and voices every day to shape their world abroadābut even if you haven't gone abroad yet (your time is coming!) we still encourage you to use your voice š¬ from your dining room table, your college dorm, or wherever you areāand participate in the 2020 United States Presidential Election! š³ļø
This week weāve been completely reenergized about study abroad by diving into some of the best of the best of the (last one, promise) best of our study abroad goodness.
Whatās study abroad goodness, you ask? Well, itās some of our best content that has made us laugh, cry, reflect, and, you guessed it, reenergize!
Whether it's inspiring student blog posts about being comfortable with who you are while abroad, watching some hidden gem videos that reveal the true beauty of the people and the landscapes of our world, casually browsing some of our favorite study abroad photos, or being reminded by our 2020 Correspondent of the Year that you can make the most of anything if you put your mind to it, it's everything we need right now to get our groove back šŗ.
Wondering what the best destinations are for your major? Or maybe how study abroad even works? It's not a silly question, we promise. We've got these answers and more, all in an info session that's shorter than an episode of The Office.
Though it might not seem like the best time forā¦a lot of things TBH, this temporary limbo can actually be the perfect moment to plan ahead for what truly matters to you in the upcoming week, month, year, two years, all the way to infinity and beyond!
Friend, amigo (Spanish), freund (French), ami (Italian), or vriend (Dutch)āno matter how you choose to say it, having a friend is globally one of lifeās greatest šs.
From an impressive pool of 119 Correspondents considered for the award, Mary EnrightĀ (IES Abroad Cape Town | Spring 2020) has been selected as the 2019-20 Correspondent of the Year.Ā
