I have been a dancer for the past 16 years. Despite the countless dress rehearsals, classes, costume fittings, performances, and outreaches I have done, there was one thing on my list that I never got the chance to do until this year. What was this thing? To attend the Vail Dance Festival, 2023.

I think it’s safe to say that for generations before us, and generations after us, Walt Disney and his creations have impacted the lives of millions of people. No matter your age or your background, Disney is a household name that instantly lights up a room and brings a smile to your face. As a hardcore Disney fan and wannabe Disney princess, I can confirm the impact Walt and his mouse, Mickey, have made on my life. I have been to Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida half a dozen times; I’ve been on a Disney Cruise twice; I have a wall of Mickey ears in my bedroom, and my bookshelves are lined with Disney books, movies, and merchandise. And so, when I discovered the magic of Walt Disney and Pixar would be coming to our neck of the woods, in Denver Colorado, I knew I had to be there.

On August 31, I boarded a plane for the adventure of a lifetime. Initially, I’d only planned for a brief semester abroad, with a couple of trips here and there, but little did I know of the journey that lay ahead. 247 days, eight countries, countless smiles, and plenty of tears later, my study abroad journey has finally come to an end. I could write an entire book about the places I’ve been, the friends I’ve made, and the lessons I’ve learned, but that’s far too long to publish in a university newspaper, even for me. So I have decided to share my year studying abroad in pictures instead. Just know that each of these photos, whether it’s insta-worthy or kinda blurry, has its own story to tell.

I have had the privilege of serving as Editor in Chief of this publication for the past three years. I was fortunate to have been given the opportunity at the end of my freshman year by my prior editor, Catie. Just as she took a chance on me, I did the same by passing my title on to freshman staff writer, Austin Price. She will be supported by Madelynn Loring and Sandra Vo, who have been dedicated members of my team for the past two years.
In reflection on my time, I have had highs and lows of things I wish I had done while being proud of what I was able to accomplish on my own. It has just been me supporting this publication for the past few years, and I hope that I was able to build a steady enough foundation for my colleagues to carry it on without me.
