- One Year
Before coming here I was really hesitant about spending half of my senior year abroad and it was one of the most difficult decisions I have made. In fact, most of the international students who are here and I have talked to, felt the same way and experienced a culture shock in the beginning of the semester. That is why I would like to create a story about the whole decision-making process, adaptation to a new environment and maybe some cultural differences.
This story will be about an exchange student from the UK and her experience at Umaine. I will try to show Umaine through a non-American perspective and probably focus on some of the differences between England and the USA, decisions she had to made, what she likes/dislikes about Umaine. The potential audience could be incoming exchange students to Umaine or Umaine students who would like to study overseas.
2. A day in Florida
During Thanksgiving Break I will visit Florida and I thought that I might find some inspiration for a story there. A friend of mine was recently there and she saw a lot of beautiful sites, interesting animals and experienced nice weather. So maybe while I am there I will discover something interesting for a story.
