Down the Coast

James Cook University, Australia
This past semester I was able to study abroad at James Cook University in Townsville Australia, where I literally had the time of my life. Besides being insanely fun, study abroad allowed me opportunities to explore, learn, and grow as a person. So many different things happened in the short time I was over there and all of them were incredible. The overall experience of study abroad was amazing, and I am grateful to everyone who helped me to have it.
Out of a semester filled with nothing but good experiences its hard to pick just one, but the mid-semester break was a truly memorable experience. I started out on a field trip to Orpheus Island for one of my classes where for three days I did field work, saw gardens of giant clams, and dived on the Great Barrier Reef. After that I and one of the many good friends I made abroad traveled down to Sydney and did everything from Manly Beach to seeing a show in the Sydney Opera House. It was a crazy exhausting week, and every second was epic.
