Girl, what are you talking about? Studying abroad is awesome!

I'm an NYU student who studied abroad in Florence. I hated every aspect of my semester abroad.

The writer hated the pressure to travel every weekend, found Italians to be very rude, and wished she was in New York while studying in Florence.

Mom: Saw you on the news this morning. Me: Oh, great. What did I "do" now? Mom: "This day in history Amanda Knox was wrongfully convicted." I count it a victory that I spent all day sewing my future husband's wedding outfit, and this anniversary totally slipped my mind.

I held her against my chest, crying myself, trying to calm her, feeling like the worst mother in the world. My mom reassured me that I'd hit my own head in the exact same way more than once. And sure enough, Eureka was fine. Not even a bruise.

Since my exoneration, I've struggled to reclaim my identity. Thank you @jessicabennett for this profile in the @nytimes

Amanda Knox Was Exonerated. That Doesn’t Mean She’s Free. (Published 2021)

Ten years after being cleared of a heinous crime, she is still trying to tell her story on her own terms.

One problem w/ Elon's claim that "paying for verification is about equal treatment" is not all users face equal risk of impersonation. Trolls have gone so far as to make a fake CNN to announce my suicide. Making this kind of thing easier on twitter doesn't make it a better place

Is it too much to ask for an atheist supreme court judge for once? 5 out of 8 are already Catholic...

It was a sadness brimming with energy beneath the surface, because I was alive with myself and my sanity, and the freeing feeling of seeing reality clearly, however sad that reality was.

The print edition of this @nytimes profile of me is out today! If you've wondered about why I was so careful about revealing the birth of my daughter, here's a hint...

The first time I attended the conference, I had to be dragged there by my mother. It was 2013, I was free and living in Seattle, but I had just been reconvicted in absentia. I was fearing extradition, watching my life evaporate before my eyes, again. I felt so utterly alone.

I imagined all of those futures in vivid detail so that they no longer felt like shadows creeping over me from the realm of unconscious nightmares. And that allowed me to see my actual life for what it was, and to ask myself: How do I make *that* life worth living?

But the women I met there, women like Sabrina Butler and Kristine Bunch, shook me, for they had been accused of killing their own children. They had not been allowed to grieve the deaths of their babies, so quickly had the state turned on them, shoved them into a cell.

These were men who'd each spent over a decade in prison for crimes they hadn't committed. By the end of that weekend, I had a new family. A family that was mostly men, men who'd lived hard lives before their wrongful convictions, many of them men of color.
