DIS Spring Semester Packing List
This is a post I have been planning to write all semester: a list for future DIS students of what to bring to Copenhagen. Disclaimer- this post will be mostly applicable to females studying at DIS or in Copenhagen for the Spring Semester. PACK: 1. A knee-length, black, WARM winter coat. Shoutout to my mother […]
Without a Doubt the Best Spring Break I’ll Ever Have
I got home last night from an 8 day trip to Istanbul, Zagreb, and Dubrovnik. I really enjoyed all three cities and while I would love to tell every hilarious story and amazing detail of the trip, I don’t have time to write a novel. Instead, I’ll tell you about my experience getting a […]
General Life Updates
I went to a Nik & Jay concert. If you don’t know who they are, check out my previous post. The bartender at Vega (a really cool concert venue in Copenhagen) actually asked us why we were at the concert because we were clearly not Danish. Maybe 70% of the songs they sang were in […]
Being a bad tourist
I was lucky enough to have my parents visit me in Copenhagen last week. We visited places I have been hearing about all semester and ate at restaurants I have walked past and never entered. Over the course of the week, I realized something important: when you study abroad in a city you are NOT […]
Proof, Part 2
Before coming abroad, I posted photo evidence of my ability to fit all of my belongings into two suitcases. Three months later, I am posting proof of me surfing after spending a week in Portugal. Conclusion: studying abroad makes you a cooler person. .
Vamos a la Playa
Okay, I know that’s Spanish, but you get the point. I’M IN PORTUGAL! One of the things that sets DIS apart from other study abroad programs is the amount of vacation time. We get three full weeks off from classes for travel; one week with your core course (which for me, was two weeks ago […]
Jeg Studerer
Means “I Study” in Danish. This is a testament to the fact that I do indeed study (sometimes) in Copenhagen. This week in particular is pretty academic because it is one of two weeks of classes sandwiched between the first and second study breaks. Every student in Danish Language and Culture class, myself included, has an […]
Long Study Tour Recap
After a long, exhausting, but amazing week in Rotterdam and Amsterdam with my European Sustainable Development class, and a weekend in Brussels with friends, I am so glad to be back and hyggeligt in Copenhagen. Here are some memorable moments from the past week! (p.s. My iphone was unfortunately stolen in Brussels and most of […]
How is it March already?!
I leave tomorrow with my core course on a 15 hour night train headed for Rotterdam/Amsterdam. We will spend a week in the Amsterdam area learning about sustainable development from various businesses, NGOs, and municipalities. I’m going to Brussels from Amsterdam with a few of my classmates. I plan on eating only waffles for the […]
You Can Czech Out Anytime You Like…But You Can Never Leave
Leave Copenhagen, that is. On that note, I will spare you more punny Eagles quotes and instead show you pictures of my weekend in Prague. Goulash, dumplings, and beer. Standard Czech cuisine. Powder Gate-the entrance to Old Town Old Town Square in the snow Ryan and I in Old Town Square Prague Castle at […]
