My name is Emilee and I\u2019m currently writing this from the Arts Block at Trinity College Dublin (TCD for short). I\u2019m starting this blog exactly 3 months and 5 days after living in Dublin, which is super exciting, and I can\u2019t wait to share all that has happened thus far. But before jumping in, I figured I would write this introductory post to let you know a little bit about me and the program.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15\" style=\"width: 214px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/emileerorick\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/11\/IMG_3721-214x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Emilee at Trinity College Dublin in front of the Campanile\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/emileerorick\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/11\/IMG_3721-214x300.jpeg 214w, https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/emileerorick\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/11\/IMG_3721.jpeg 710w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In Front of the Campanile!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I\u2019m currently a third year Psychology, Statistics, and Pre-Business student at Holy Cross who choreographs for Dance Ensemble. However at Trinity, I\u2019m studying Psychology, Art History, and Religion as a way to get the rest of my Common Area requirements completed. That was part of the reason that I chose to study at Trinity, as it allows me to take classes (which they call \u2018modules\u2019 here) that align with my academic requirements. Other than meeting my academic needs, Trinity also has so many clubs (called \u2018societies\u2019) that align with my extracurricular interests. For instance, I\u2019m a member of DUDance as a member of the Contemporary competition team and a member of FilmSoc, which has weekly movie showings. These have allowed me to really experience the school culture not just in the classroom but also in everyday life.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/emileerorick\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/11\/IMG_3447-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo of St. Patrick's Cathedral as the sun is setting\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">St. Patrick&#8217;s Cathedral on my walk home from school<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the school itself, living in Ireland, specifically Dublin, has been such a dream. The Semester Start-Up Program we did prior to classes and the Holy Cross Cultural Advisors have been amazing at showing us Holy Cross students around both Dublin and Ireland, through different field trips and shows. These past three months have been so joyful and fun-filled, I cannot wait to share it all with you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/emileerorick\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/11\/IMG_3819-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo of a building in Dublin during sunset.
