Semester

Eastern Michigan University

My most vivid memories include the ones with my friends taking trips to the 7-11, dyeing and cutting each others hair in fear of going to a salon, group dinners and group naps, and just being together in that strange, wonderful country.

Another story would be adventuring in Osaka with two other friends and being completely ignorant as to where we were going. We ended up at HAP mall riding the ferris wheel and crying with each other about how happy we were to be in Japan! Also, seeing people passed out in their own vomit. That was interesting.

Currently working to graduate Eastern Michigan University with a bachelors in Anthropology with my minors in Japanese and TESOL. I'm just kind of chillin' here in Ypsilanti for now, but next fall I'll be off to Korea for a year to teach English!

It just reminded me how much the world has to offer and of my goals for being in school and living life. It helped me maintain wonderful close relationships and gave me new perspective on just about everything.
