Mariana Barakchieva is an AUBG student in the second semester of her senior year with two majors – Journalism and Computer Science and a minor in Math. Mariana has a lot of interests and hobbies. She writes fiction, has worked as a news person for radio AURA and is currently the vice president of the Documentary Film Club. Ever since she finished high school, Mariana had a dream to go to the U.S. Back then, she applied to 11 universities and was accepted to two of them but did not study at either because they did not grant her a full scholarship. Coming to AUBG was really a compromise and the American dream remained unfulfilled. However, during her junior year she finally managed an acceptance to an exchange program with Bulgarian Young Leaders Program and found herself for one year at the University of Missouri–Columbia. Mary, as her friends call her, in an interview for AUBG Daily shared all about her expectations, experience and the outcomes of her exchange in the U.S.A. Continue reading…
