Fall 2015
During this semester, I studied abroad at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan for one year. This was truly a wonderful experience that I never thought I would have the opportunity to do. Kyoto was a place I always dreamed about going to, every since I was young girl. I was fascinated by the blend of traditional and modern culture, the temples and shrines, and the beautiful scenery. Thus, Ritsumeikan was the first place on my list to study at. I was very excited to go and as soon as I arrived in Kyoto, I was in love. It was a very dream-come-true situation. During my time there, I was able to meet people from around the world and become very close friends with them. The friendships I made and the moments I experience are something I will never take for granted and will remember for ever.
