Summer Adventures!

This summer I had the wonderful opportunity to study abroad in France. While in Europe I also went to Spain and London. This was the best summer of my entire life.

Spain: I started off my summer adventures by going to Spain for one week to visit my best friend who currently lives there. This is the first time I've ever been to Europe so it was like something I've never seen before. I stayed in a small city called Salamanca, where everyone knows everyone there. The price for food and drinks were on the cheaper side. 

France: I then went to France and this is where I spent the majority of the summer. I went to France with about 25 other UCF students and it was absolutely amazing. The first 4 weeks of the program was in Nice, France and we spent the 5th week in Paris. In Nice we stayed in apartments that were right along the Cote-d'Azur (aka the beach). The water was freezing and instead of sand there is rocks on the beach which made it kind of uncomfortable to lay down at first, but you get used to it. 

In Paris I definitely got very acquainted with the metro system and used it to get around everywhere! Some of the famous places I went and saw was the Lourve (where the original Mona Lisa is), the love bridge, Arc de Triomphe, Norte Dame, Muse de Oray and of course the Effiel Tower. I took the elevator all the way to the top and it was definitely a beautiful sight, especially at night when lit up.

London: I definitely excepted London to be different. In London I stayed in a hostel for the first time of  my life and that was definitely interesting to say the least.. I did all the touristy things there is to do there in London like riding the double decker bus, eating fish and chips and etc.

I will never forgot all the amazing places I got the chance to visit, the memories I made, the laughters and all the people I've met along the way.

Introduction

Hi everyone! 


Unlike the majority of people in our class I am not an English Education major and I am not really a fan or writing or reading. My major is Psychology and I am minoring in Education. I am a Senior at UCF and will be graduating at the end of this semester in December. Wohooo! Growing up I always thought about becoming a teacher but my parents currently work in the school system and they have always tried to steer me away from this field. However, last year I decided that education is something that I am really passionate about and want to pursue, no matter what others say. I love little kids and want to teach elementary school, definitely NOT middle or high schoolers.

A little bit more about me: I am in a sorority and fraternity. Yes, I'm a girl in a fraternity.  This summer I studied abroad in France. I also went to Spain and London. It was the best experience of my life. I was born and raised in Miami, FL and everyone constantly tells me I have an accent. I currently work as a children's party hostess. I get to play games with the crazy kids, jump in the bounce house with them and lots more. I love my job because I get to work with kids plus I get free pizza and cake. What more could you ask for! 

That's it for now :)
