BTW I went to Ireland solo.-It was AMAZING

Freshmen year of college I got a rush of excitement and nervousness when I past the guard and left the gate of Assumption College by foot. It was like I was sneaking out...

Sophomore year it took leaving in a car to get this rush of excitement and nervousness. I don't know why but almost every time it happened, it was like I was doing something I wasn't supposed to.

Now that its junior year I'm living in a place with out gates and guards. As I left my dorm on Saturday I oddly didn't feel the least bit nervous or out of place hopping on the tram to go to the airport to get on a plane to leave the country and go to another one. I kept waiting for that part where I would think twice about what I was doing and worry about being questioned or something as I used to fear when leaving Assumption. Even going through customs I felt confident and allowed to be there. It's amazing to live without those gate, guards and questions. I love this sense of real life.


Traveling to Ireland alone was the BEST experience EVER! I can't really describe it. I met so many interesting people and had a blast hanging out with them. I also learned so much more and gained so much more doing it on my own. Probably the best trip of this overseas adventure. I hope some day I can do the solo thing again! : )
