Truly blessed are words that spring to mind when I reflect on the past month. To pick up on last months blog I had one camp completed already in Castlewellen and had just began my week down in the beautiful Glencull where I was a member of the Fáilte team. I am so lucky to […]
Well its official… semester 1 is over, exams are over are over and I’m sitting in front of a lovely fire at home in Donegal with my family. Dunaras has been evacuated for the month. So for this blog I decided to do something different. I’m sharing the best memories from my first semester through […]
Feet up in front of the fire, writing my final blog of 2014. First semester, that’s a wrap! There really is no place like home at Christmas time. After a jam-packed 13 weeks in QUB it’s safe to say I am delighted to be back home for a few weeks with the O’Hagan clan. My […]
Well you know what they say, time flies when you’re having FUN! It’s crazy to think that I’m now going into my 14th week of college (aka, study week for the dreaded exams!!!!!!) Three months later and the whole experience still feels so new and exciting. So, I suppose I’ll share with you all how […]

12 months ago I received a phone call into work from a certain Úna Kelly. It was a phone call that would offer me the chance to become one of six Michaela Foundation Scholars and a phone call that would quite frankly change my life…big words but wholeheartedly true. As I sit down to write […]
Dia dhaoibh a chairde !! I want to start this (my final blog – can you believe it !!) by apologizing for my lack of blogs recently. Hopefully this one will fill you in on why I’ve been off the radar for a while. I have to tell you about my summer in its entirety […]
As I open microsoft word for my very last blog, the classical song ‘Time to say goodbye’ is ringing in my ears! Don’t panic I won’t attatch my rendition! Twelve months later, eleven blogs written and here I am writing the very last one. I have now reached the end of my Michaela Foundation Scholar journey […]
