I wanted to keep it short and sweet because the pictures, videos and memories that we’ve created speak for themselves in regards to the exchange.

Now that our friends from the exchange have gone, it’s back to basics; however, we will never forget the friendships and memories we’ve all created together. Looking back at the very beginning of the exchange and the weeks leading up to it, I personally was both excited and nervous. This experience was very exciting and I’m extremely grateful to be a part of it all yet the one thing that had me worried the entire time leading up to the week was working in a team. With so many communities and students involved in the exchange, I was worried that many things would be left to last minute or even worse, people wouldn’t do their assigned tasks and such. Now that this experience is over, looking back I can truly say that this exchange was a success. With the exchange students having had an amazing time, this week proved to me that there was nothing to worry about when working in a large team. Being a co-captain and blogger, I got to not only be an integral part of the planning of events but also got to document the amazing changes that had occurred not only in the exchange students lives but also in the lives our those hosting them here at UMass Boston. Many people were important assets to the exchange and its smooth sailing. I would like to thank everyone from the communities, the administration that formulated this exchange and our ambassadors for representing us in the best ways possible over in Glasgow.
