Perusing the internet, I found this really cool site the Mill creative group put together to “aid famine relief efforts in East Africa.”  The staff from the Mill, along with some of their creative friends, developed these wonderful posters.  Why not give yourself an early Christmas present and help the cause at the same time. … Read more

I have to admit, when I woke up this morning and fired up facebook for the first time to see my newsfeed covered with beautiful pictures of my friends abroad, a little jealousy did creep up inside me.  Its hard to explain, but when you live and/or study abroad you develop a special bond with … Read more
