Life@John Hopkins: Meta-study abroad

A long-haul transatlantic flight brought me to this country in the far west, which many people are seemingly familiar with, due to the enormous cultural influence it has cast upon the world.

To Stuff or not to Stuff that in?

That is the Question. Image Source Packing can be a long and arduous process and — I’ll admit — even infuriating at times, especially if you’re going abroad.
