How I did it
How to go to England
It took me
4 months
It made me
Proud and happy

How I did it: There were rumors that my department in college was coordinating a trip to England. One of the professors knew a professor at the University of Reading, UK who helped us find a place to stay and plan our itinerary. I got my passport the summer before and I saved up what money I could. I signed the contract and a few weeks later I was on a plane to the UK. We toured London, Oxford, Reading, Bath, and Caerphilly, Wales. While, I didn't real… Read how I did it…

I made a vegan, gluten free pound cake today and it rocks! I have to stop eating it so that there’s some for the party tonight!

Investigate major volunteer opportunities
Untitled 11 months ago

Ever since I was little, I’ve wanted to volunteer my time and make a difference, but I’ve always felt alone. Now that I’m at a turning point in my life (contemplating grad school), it might be the time to take a year and do something major.

The programs I know of that are big with volunteerism are:
-Americorps
-TeachAmerica
-PeaceCorps

My college also has a Tigers In Service program which sponsors Alternative Breaks, which means spending a week in another part of the country, helping out.

Does anyone know of any other major programs that I might look into?
