Hello, I'm Tori! I am a first-year student at Yale, currently hoping to study Ethnicity, Race, and Migration. I love dancing, singing, and cooking, and I'm currently learning the guitar. A fun fact that no one believes: I'm allergic to potato skins!

Hi, my name is Sydney! I've always loved travel and getting to live life to the fullest, although it's all about balance. I love seeing new places and trying new food, but when I'm not out running about, I love to read and listen to music to relax.

I'm a second year philosophy student at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I'm very Italian, so much so that my parents decided to use an Italian surname in the family to name me, Sofi!

3 Tips to Beat Pre-Departure Jitters

Even as my excitement to depart for Milan rises, I can’t help but feel just the tiniest bit anxious as I wonder whether I will fit in or find my people during my time abroad. Especially as someone partaking in a shorter summer program (compared to a full semester) and doing a full-time internship, I’ll be honest: it’s not just a speck of anxiety - it feels more like a tidal wave of worries. 

Will my coworkers like me? What if I don’t fit in? Who will I talk to at lunch? What if I miss home?

I adore the outdoors, anything active such as running, biking, hiking, kayaking you name it. I have a healthy(?) obsession with cats and Taylor swift, and love painting on days it's not as nice out. I grew up playing soccer and cross country skiing.

Coming Home

Here I am, sitting in my bed at home for the first time in five months. It feels surreal, like studying abroad was a distant dream and I just woke up from the longest nap of my life. However, the contacts in my phone and the pictures in my camera helped me conclude that for the past five months I was in fact on the journey of a lifetime. The friends and memories I have made are irreplaceable and I would not have changed my situation for the world.
