Bucket List: Abegayle Drabek

 

Coming to Southern Arkansas University, I hadn’t heard about the trips the Honors College takes multiple times a year. As my first semester has progressed, I have been more intrigued by these trips. I am going to try to go on the winter ski trip to Winter Park in Colorado in hopes of connecting with my peers in an exciting way. I have only been to Colorado once, but I was too little to remember, so I have always wanted to go back. Right now, I am in the process of getting my passport because it is my dream to travel Europe. Members of my family have been, and I want to experience the different cultures that Europe has to offer, too. Some key places I would like to go is Germany, France and Italy. These countries have always sparked my interest, so it will remain on my bucket list till I go. 

After I graduate from Southern Arkansas University, I wish to be able to take an internship abroad and learn about different diets that farm animals are on in different countries. I feel this can make me more successful as a nutritionist, because these countries could have smart and more cost-effective ways to get to the same goal that the United States aims to get when producing products on a large scale.
