It has occurred to me that I should probably update all of you on what I’ve been up to the past few days – and it’s been a lot. First, let’s start off with the most recent French film I went to (alone again, because that’s my new favorite thing) – “La Tête Haute/Standing Tall.”Continue reading “Edith Piaf, Long Lost Professors and Living the French Life”

Change is a wonderful part of life
A lot of things have been filling my thoughts recently. Namely, what I’ll be doing after leaving Paris. And ya know what? I’ve discovered something about myself that I never quite recognized before.. That I wasn’t made for the typical 9-5 working American life. I guess I’ve always known I didn’t want that but itContinue reading “Change is a wonderful part of life”
Armistice Day 2014
Today I was able to check another item off of my Paris Bucket List. And this was a pretty big one. I attended a church service at Notre Dame. Last summer when I studied abroad in France, I had the privilege of walking through Notre Dame while they were holding a service and I was ableContinue reading “Armistice Day 2014”
Take a moment
I just witnessed the most heartbreaking moment I’ve experienced since moving to Paris. As I was going into the metro to get back home from running errands this morning, I saw a man literally on his knees in the stairwell, tears in his eyes, mumbling what I can only imagine is an apology. This manContinue reading “Take a moment”
An American Girl in Paris
Last I left you, I was moving to Africa. Well, that changed and as of today, I’ve moved my booty to Paris, France and will be spending the next year of my life as an au pair. Not gonna lie, I was terrified about the prospect of things going awry and up until 12 hoursContinue reading “An American Girl in Paris”
I don’t know where I’m going but I’m finding my way
Yes, I definitely titled this post with One Direction lyrics. What of it. Anyway, as you may know, I recently went on an Alternative Breaks trip for Spring Break. I decided to spend my last break in college doing something good and helping others. It was a wonderful and life changing experience that I will forever holdContinue reading “I don’t know where I’m going but I’m finding my way”
Growing up
So, here’s the deal. I graduate soon. Wow.. It’s terrifying to actually say it. Next semester I’ll be leaving home and making my own home somewhere completely different and that’s scary.. (Hopefully my Momma doesn’t read this post). Now that being said, I don’t know exactly what I want to do with my life. ButContinue reading “Growing up”
And the countdown begins…
One week. That’s it. One week from now I’ll be on a plane hating life because I’m no longer in France. I can’t even describe how I feel when I start to think about leaving this place. I know I’ve missed home at times throughout this trip but now I can’t even imagine leaving. IContinue reading “And the countdown begins…”
Pigs and Gypsies
I knew coming over to France that I would get a lot of attention. My blonde hair makes me stick out like a sore thumb in this country. However, I never thought the attention would be this extreme. I have to say that I’m already incredibly sick of a lot of people in this country.Continue reading “Pigs and Gypsies”
Becoming Humbled
Happy thoughts of a humbled girl. Well, I finally have a moment to myself to relax and think about things. Since summer began, I’ve been working full-time, doing a part-time internship and trying to spend as much time as possible with my family and friends. So far, all is successful; got my first paycheck today,Continue reading “Becoming Humbled”
