Hi, I'm Katie! Welcome to my blog, where I ramble about anything and everything. I'm 20 years old, a junior at Boston College and am pursuing a major in International Studies and a minor in French. I'm currently studying abroad at Sciences Po in Paris. I plan on keeping this experience well-documented by blogging every single day, even if my entries consist of only a few new words I learned, or a new picture I took. I love photography, traveling, reading, and cooking. I love all kinds of music; check out what I'm listening to at Gandhi is a smartypants.

Author: I was just stumbling, and I came across the following by Gandhi:
Seven Blunders of the World
1. Wealth without work.
2. Pleasure without conscience.
3. Knowledge without character.
4. Commerce without morality.
5. Science without humanity.
6. Worship without sacrifice.
7. Politics without principle.
- Mahatma Gandhi
Gandhi was a wise, wise man. I’ve been thinking about these seven “blunders,” and it’s striking how relevant they are, particularly in today’s world. I think they are at the root of most of the problems and conflicts we face today as a global community. Thoughts?
I also stumbled upon The Eight Irresistable Principles of Fun. It’s slightly longer than a short video (maybe about 3 or 4 minutes?) but worthwhile watching. It basically just tells you to lighten up and live your life because it’s too short to take for granted.
