Staff Writer Gina Brown is leaving soon for a whole semester in Copenhagen! Although she is very excited, here are a few things she will miss about Barnumbia, and some goals she has for studying abroad!

I will miss…

  • Late nights chatting with my friends in my dorm
  • My favorite professors
  • Being in the magnanimous city that is New York
  • Pigeons
  • Going for a run in Riverside
  • Lying on Futter Field
  • Running into everyone I know in Milstein
  • Access to our libraries (seriously, we are so spoiled with CLIO)
  • QAHWAH HOUSE
  • My lab at Lamont
  • Hanging out with my little sister, who I will miss terribly when I’m gone
  • Bacchanal… I’ll be there in spirit
  • Dinner parties
  • Themed parties
  • Volunteering with Housing Equity Project
  • BWOG <3
