No More Thesis

I have finally finished and submitted my thesis. It has been a long process that I am grateful for, but I am so glad it is over. My thesis is about the Sweden Democrats and their rise to power. The Sweden Democrats are currently the third-largest political party in...

Europe!

After graduation, my best friends and I are backpacking across Europe. We have talked about this for years but never thought it would ever come together. Once we bought our tickets to Barcelona, we sat in a circle and cried for a few reasons. First, we got the tickets...

Disservice

*So I originally wrote and published the blog in the 401 Canvas page. However, I received some comments coming from different perspectives and wanted to hear what others believe.* Welcome back everyone! I hope you guys all had a good and safe break. During the fall...

Please Don’t Drink and Drive

Don’t drink and drive. How many times in our lives have we been told this? Thousands, right? Yet people are still doing it. On October 23rd, my brother was in a car accident. My brother was driving home from hanging out with his friends around midnight. He was only...

Malmö

One of the main reasons I chose this program was the ability to travel within it. The program is based out of Stockholm, but your class travels to another city in Sweden for one week. Normally, if it wasn’t COVID times, your class travels to a different country. My...

It Is Hot Here

When I was packing to come to Sweden, I checked the normal weather around this time. There were possibilities of anything. It could be 90 degrees and sunny or 50 degrees and raining. It wasn’t much help, so I packed a bit of everything. I brought pants, long...

Sunny Stockholm

As I am writing this, I am laying on a “beach” in Sigtuna, Sweden. The reason I put beach in quotations is because it’s not a normal beach. There isn’t any sand, but instead a giant patch of grass that leads to a dock where you can jump into the water. Me and the...
