What is the best time to post an end-of-year recap? Regardless of whatever your answer is, I guarantee you it is not as bad as doing so at the start of the next school year. Yet, here we are. This time, I am late for a few reasons. Outside of just being quite busy thisContinue reading “A Surprising Sophomore Year”

Munich
So my 2024 New Year resolution was to post more frequently on the blog. It is now 2025, and I want to talk about a trip from the summer of 2024! As you all can see, much progress has been made on these goals. However, as I sit in my apartment in the depths ofContinue reading “Munich”
Fresh Off Freshman Year
After what had felt like a two-week stretch that had taken years off my life, I was finally where I had wanted to be this entire time. The sun was shining and the clouds were seemingly parting just for this very moment. The sounds of people loading their suitcases into the bottom of the busContinue reading “Fresh Off Freshman Year”
Rising From The Ashes: The Seattle Phoenix?
Wow, it has been a busy three months for the Seahawks. In my last post, I called for a top-down cleaning of the entire Seahawks organization, claiming that things had gone stale. Lo and behold, Jody Allen has made the difficult decision to let go of the most powerful person in the Seahawks organization. PeteContinue reading “Rising From The Ashes: The Seattle Phoenix?”
Dublin
New year, new me. Hopefully, my posts will be a little more frequent this year and not as rare as seeing the sun in Seattle. However, there was certainly no lack of sunshine on my trip to Italy last year. Yet, after my time in Tuscany, my family and I went to Ireland for aContinue reading “Dublin”
Bird Down: The Stranded Seahawks
Pain. That was the caption for the Instagram story after the recent Seahawks vs 49ers game. Seattle was outmatched, outcoached, and outplayed by the 49ers. I would say it is hard to remember such a beatdown, except a similar thing happened against the Ravens mere weeks ago. Yet, this seemed to mark a turning pointContinue reading “Bird Down: The Stranded Seahawks”
Purdue
If you had told me 2 years ago that I would be in West Lafayette, Indiana, I would have called you crazy. Yet, here I am today, sitting in my dorm after the first week of classes, writing a blog post about it all. Even though it has only been 2 weeks of living onContinue reading “Purdue”
Seattle
As most of you can tell by not only my blog name (Pranay’s Seattle Departures), and my various posts on the Seattle Seahawks, Seattle is my home. For essentially my entire life, I have lived in the same house in Seattle. Now I enter into the world of adulthood, leaving not only my home butContinue reading “Seattle”
State of the Seattle Seahawks: 2023 Season
Welcome to the return of my Seahawks rants and the start of a yearly series where I preview the upcoming season with the current team. Sure, this is a travel blog, and talking about sports contradicts the theme. However, it is also my blog and I wanted to share my thoughts on where the teamContinue reading “State of the Seattle Seahawks: 2023 Season”
Tuscany, Italy
Welcome to another blog post that is posted months after it should have been. Today I am going to talk about one of the most naturally beautiful places in the world, Italy. Specifically, our recent trip to Tuscany in April. While this was not my first trip to the country, it was certainly one ofContinue reading “Tuscany, Italy”
