I think we would all agree that our field trip to Northern Ireland was the highlight of the semester. This photo was taken at the famous Giants Causeway in Antrim after a group of us scrambled our way up a cliffside. After reaching the top we were rewarded with the most incredible view: a stretch of tide pools below, staggering cliffs to the left and right and the raging sea all around. It was one of those moments where you find yourself in awe of just how wild and wonderful the world really is. I’ll never forget that feeling. Nor will I forget our motto for getting back down the cliff (that was of course miles higher once you’re at the edge looking down): “Low and slooooow!”
