Getting into a routine after the first week of class
Preface this by saying that technically last Friday was the first day of class, but I only had one class (KLI) which was just a placement test. I went to campus about 1.5 hours before the test and just walked around campus to look around. The back half of the campus is honestly really pretty. The front half is all tall grey concrete buildings. Also, it is super hill-y, so that was a humbling experience. There was a lot of people walking around, which was little nerve racking.

Tips For Getting Settled Logistically
The first two weeks of IES Abroad Amsterdam are essentially a vacation. You meet a bunch of awesome new people, explore the city, socialize in and out of IES Abroad orientations, and it’s still summer! However, despite the seemingly non-stop fun, setting up your Dutch phone, withdrawing cash without paying absurd ATM fees, and opening a Dutch bank account are the logistical nightmares that ground you before the semester starts and make you realize that it’s not just study abroad, but study (and live, independently) abroad.

My first week in Milan
Studying abroad in a foreign country with a new language is definitely a culture shock. I wish I could say that the transition has been easy, and I wasn’t yelled at for not weighing my own fruit, but I can’t. Week one has had a lot of learning moments, but I’ve just been leaning into it and staying positive.
A Pilgrimage to the Heart of Football: Witnessing Argentina's National Team in Action
Football has an almost spiritual significance in Argentina. It's not merely a sport; it's a way of life, a culture, and an intrinsic part of the nation's identity. Last week, during my study abroad in Buenos Aires, I had the opportunity to watch the national team playing against Ecuador. It was a chance to immerse myself in a world where football is more than just a game—it's akin to religion, a fervent belief shared by millions.

My First Week in London!
My first full week in London, woah. I do not even have words to describe the whole process. It has been incredibly overwhelming, but in a beautiful way. The architecture, the diversity, the food...I am very happy here; this is one of the prettiest cities I have ever been in and I feel very lucky to live here for the next couple of months.
