…and then there were two (days). Somehow, I am down to the last few days of my summer internship with the Sandusky Library and the Follett House Museum. I have been busy with completing my exhibit designs for the museum, assisting with activities for kids and teens, cutting and gluing thousands upon thousands of paper chains, and much, much more. The […]
Chicago is a special city. It’s where my parents lived after they got married, and it’s where my brother was born. I have many fond memories of visiting Chicago with my family when I was younger, and I have always loved going back. This past weekend, I visited my brother, Ethan, who now lives in […]
Throughout my travels in Spain and France, I was inspired by the incredible architecture, winding streets, picturesque balconies and Mediterranean feel of the cities I visited in Catalonia and beyond. With my trusty Nikon D3300 in tow, I did my best at capturing the beauty of España. I wish I could offer an amazing piece of photography advice, but, […]
Welcome back to the latest installment of The Intern Diaries, where I’m sharing the latest and greatest updates about my current summer internship. (Catch up on the previous posts here!) This past week was a bit hectic; each morning seemed to bring a new surprise or a spontaneous program, project or conflict to be addressed – but there was no shortage […]
Packing for one month in Spain was quite the challenge. Maybe it’s because I left for my trip straight from the end of my spring semester of college (simultaneously packing for my trip and packing up my dorm was a bit of a hot mess). I thought I packed an appropriate amount, but the day before I headed […]
Week two of my summer internship has come and gone. Here’s what I’ve been up to – including helping with fun children’s programs and channeling my inner history nerd. Check out the first segment here: The Intern Diaries: Livin’ La Vida Library Getting Tech-y The library recently opened a new space called the Digital Media Studio, which houses […]
I just finished the first week of my summer internship, and I wanted to document some of my experiences thus far. I hope you find this interesting, helpful and/or entertaining! (Most of all, I am writing this because after the program is finished, it will be helpful for me to reflect on the work I have done.) Thanks to a […]
There are many things I do not necessarily love about my little town. For starters: the Sandusky “Mall,” home to what is likely the world’s first and last Elder Beerman store. (It’s practically a historical landmark.) My town is the host of Ohio Bike Week, which, sadly, has nothing to do with bicycles. (When I say “bike week,” […]
I can’t believe this is my last weekend in Barcelona. Three of my roommates left the country for the weekend, but my roommates Olivia, Lauren and I are making the most of our last few days in Catalonia. Yesterday, we checked two items off of our “list.” We rode the Teléferic (cable cars) to Montjuïc, a beautiful […]
No two days in Barcelona are alike, but today was especially out of the ordinary. Usually, my roommates and I plan our days beforehand, but today (one of our last weekdays in Barcelona), we each went our separate ways for the afternoon. I decided I wanted needed to spend the day at La Boqueria, Barcelona’s infamous food market. If you […]
