Since coming to college my love for traveling has increased greatly, and since that increase, I wonder how I could journey to Europe, Asia, or Africa. I made an attempt during my freshmen year, but at that time my mind and being weren't quite ready for being abroad. So here I am three years later typing from my desk (my internship) in Madrid, Spain. I have heard so many things about studying abroad, all the excitement, the opportunities that lie ahead for you, and the experience that will take place.  I told my mother, my friends, and myself in so many different ways that it will happen, and it did. I reminded myself by writing in my journal, on my phone, and talking to myself on my Macbook that I will get here. It was a very long journey, but I made it all happen.

With two months of interning in the Marketing department, I am excited to see what I will learn and how I can put my education to use. Aside from interning, I am very eager to experience life in Spain, and the growth that will partake internally for me. I've only been here for a month and already envision myself living in Madrid. I am keeping in mind that I want to start my life in a great place after graduating, so maybe Madrid might be that place. Sometimes I feel like a leaf in the wind, and I'll land where ever the wind takes me. I just enjoy getting lost in the streets of Madrid and speaking Spanglish. Being here my Spanish language will increase most definitely, and it also has moved me to want to start studying other languages of the world. I only have one month left of living in Madrid, and I am still in shock that I am here. I love my internship and I enjoy working with such a great team. My internship is preparing me for my career in the fashion industry in so many ways.

Until we read again!
