Fun Around the World As we took a weekend away from our studies and school projects, I sought to explore how people enjoy their time off on the other side of the world. So on a quiet Friday night, we embarked on a mission to find a place to play pool and relax. After a… Read more »

The Streets of Parikia
I have never been great with directions. When people talk about taking 59 up to the 357 and driving down until they hit Keystone, then following it down to easy street, I just kind of nod my head and pretend like I know what they’re talking about. It takes me an entire semester to get… Read more »
Our First Day Off
Today was my day off in Paros. So first off I slept in, very much needed. When I finally rolled out of bed, we decided to have a girl’s day even though it was raining. The first place we came upon was the Mikro Cafe. There I had bacon and eggs, and it was a… Read more »
The Uncut Version
I have made unforgettable memories every day so far, and writing about them makes this trip even more real and genuine. The traveling portion should be another blog in itself for each of my peers; we practically wanted to kiss the ground getting off the plane here in Paros after all of our peculiar “adventures.”… Read more »
Marble Glows?
A typical day in Paros thus far has begun with a morning walk to the Archaeological Institute to start our work for the day. Today, however, began quite differently. Rolling out of bed admittedly more tired than usual, we gathered as a group outside of the Villa Katerina and began a different kind of adventure…. Read more »
Unforgettable Adventures
The start of this trip was absolutely horrendous. After a really rough travel experience, I was beginning to lose hope that things would get better. My flight to Greece was changed at the last minute due to a delay, and my luggage was lost for six days upon arrival. It was like I was cursed… Read more »
Work Hard, Vacation Hard
I truly love what I do. I love working hard and learning new things about video production and sound design every day. I love experimenting with the equipment, learning the software, and working with the people who are involved with it all as well. It’s extremely hard for me to find the perfect balance… Read more »
Don’t Think Twice
Being in Paros has been amazing so far, and it’s only been a week. The scenery is the most beautiful I’ve seen, and the people are friendly and accepting of us. I can tell you I could not be happier to do homework. Before going into college, I always heard college graduates talk about how… Read more »
Making Friends on Paros!
Today is the fifth day I spent on this island. I am amazed by how deeply in love I am with Paros already. The sun, the wind, and the sea, its people, its animals and its cuisine, everything here just makes me happy and calm. Although we are still getting to know each other,… Read more »
Settling into Life on Paros
During my first few days on the beautiful island of Paros, I’ve quickly grown accustomed to the culture. There wasn’t as much culture shock for me as I thought there would be. Even though most of the people speak Greek to each other, they are quite considerate to the ones of us who don’t. The… Read more »
