300 RISERs

Indeed friends it has been a while. Traveling so much and finishing the last month of  my internship has really made this blog spot suffer. Good thing I am BACK and ready to post a billion and one pics:

Heidelburg RISE Conference:

Of course it was beautiful, but I was certainly distracted by the 300 RISE students all in one hostel and the free meals and fun times that were sure to ensue.  I personally had some really fun unplanned events.

As you can see Heidelberg has water EVERYWHERE…i would recommend jumping in it. It was so hot there that it actually turned into a necessity. This canal here was located behind the hostel and it was a great spot for chilling and cooling off in. Yes yes, there was a swimming pool down the road, but why pay when Germany has already created a fabulous swimming hole

Feeding 300

The “300 RISErs together in one place” meal they set-up at a local restaurant was something to fathom. It was complete insanity and waiting for hours was def on the menu…but the food was amazing…take peek

Studying in Germany

The company tours and talks RISE set-up were really interesting. I def think BASF has a new intern coming soon! I got some contact information and am really excited about the possibility of getting my masters in Germany. Although I only have a couple of years of German under my belt I am able and willing to learn more and broaden my horizons.

Speaking of HORIZONS…after the city tour a bunch of us decided to climb a huge mountain in Heidelberg. Yeah it was over 90 degrees…but from these pics you can tell it was def and adventure:

At the end of the day it was all about…FOOTBALL. haha jk but on a nice sidenote I was on water-front waiting for fireworks when Germany was confirmed 3rd in the FIFA World Cup. A nice end to a beautiful trip to Heidelberg and a nice time with new friends
