Between campus and city lights: My semester abroad in New York
Looking back on my semester abroad in New York, I honestly find it hard to put everything into words. The past few months were intense, challenging, beautiful, and formative all at once. It was a time in which so much happened, and I not only got to know a new city but also rediscovered myself in many ways.
San Diego Review – A semester to remember
