Ciao! 

My name is Jessica Sullivan and I am a Criminal Justice-Forensic Psychology major. I am a junior from Long Island, New York. I am a sister of Phi Sigma Sigma sorority and last semester, I was Vice President of P.I.R.O. but this semester I am studying abroad at the UNH Tuscany, Prato campus.

I have no idea how I’m going to fit my life into one suitcase that cannot weigh more than fifty pounds.

It took me at least seven trips to empty my dorm room for the semester, so I don’t know how I’m ever going to decide what to bring.

This semester, I am taking two psychology classes taught by UNH professors and I am taking three classes taught by professors from Italy.

I am taking Italian language, Italian Life and Culture, and Art and Science in Renaissance Italy. I am so excited to be learning in a new environment and with new professors and students. I took Italian in high school but I’m hoping to be able to have conversations with people all over Italy.

I also want to volunteer at the local church here watching over young children. You can volunteer to help teach English and play with them after school.

I am really looking forward to helping with that. I am so excited to be able to travel not just all over Italy but a lot of Europe.

I want to visit Germany, Ireland, England, Spain, Greece and Hungary the most, however, I want to see and learn about as many cultures and lifestyles as I can. I am so excited to start this new chapter of my life—now, I just need to pack for it.
