Hi! I'm Lauren. I love art, and history. I play Dungeons and Dragons, I enjoy baking, I love Shakespeare and I am incredibly excited to go abroad. I have my ticket, and I have so many plans for what to do when I get there, but there is so much left to do! Packing, doctors' appointments, wrapping up my summer internship... the list goes on. As for where I'm going, I am going to Marburg, Germany and I will be studying at the historic Phillips Universität. I chose Marburg because I've always wanted to visit Germany after hearing stories about when my parents lived there throughout my childhood. I've also taken some German language classes, so it was a less daunting location than somewhere with a language I've never studied. Marburg specifically is well known for its historic downtown, and its fairy-tale like appeal. The town was founded in 1222!! Many of the old buildings are still standing. The famous chroniclers, the Grimm brothers lived in Marburg, and even studied at the same university I will! I have always had a deep love of fairy tales and getting to go somewhere that inspired so many is really cool. I hope to get better at speaking German and meet new friends. Academically speaking, I'm excited to see what it's like to study at a larger university and learn about what German pedagogy is like. I'm really excited to see new things and go new places!
