Here are the courses I am currently taking in Paris:

Histoire Contemporaine du XXème siècle

This is a history course I take at University Paris Diderot focused on the period between 1914-1945. I took this because I thought it would be interesting to learn history from a European perspective and so far, I've found that to be true. 

Sciences à Paris

This is a continuation from the course last semester though this semester we are trying to find internships in Paris.

Laicité

This is a course I take at the consortium we have in Paris (not the same as the 5 college consortium). It focuses on how laicité, or the removal and separation of the church from state affairs/public life, came to be and what it looks like today.

Dropped my course load to take courses in life cause the shit they teaching us, might ruin my might Making the decisions that folks wish they could make all it takes is God’s will and I’m willingly safe Within the classroom they could catch you trap you grab ya mind and throw it back at you but,  the courses on life never been so worth it listen to them prayers you and both God heard it

Hey Guys! Here are some things I do when I know my semester is going to be rough! Hope you find some of these helpful!!

Eat with Purpose: I purposefully do not work when I am eating. I take that time, even if it is just 5 or 10 minutes to watch some TV (I am currently on season 6 of ER!), listen to music or catch up with friends. There is absolutely no reason to be working through your meals and honestly I would go insane if I had no time to just chill out for a second. 

Don’t be too Rigid: I am the type of person who has a hard time sticking to a schedule. Whenever I make one (and I always do in the hopes that I will stick to it lol), I’m always disappointed the very next day because I just can’t stick to it. If you plan on going to the library or studying for x amount of time, just go with the flow. If you get burnt out with one subject in an hour, switch to another and maybe come back later and don’t beat yourself up about it. NOW if keeping a tight schedule is your thing, go for it! 

Be Social: Nothing is more isolating than spending 24/7 in the library or at home at your desk studying. Please please please work in some free time for yourself. Whether it be hang out with friends, go out to dinner with your bf/gf or getting a little too drunk (if you’re of age lol, not condoning underaged drinking), it is so incredibly important to step away from your school work a little while and relax. Trust me, you will come back feeling refreshed and ready to hit the books.
