Welcome to The Balanced Academic!

My name is Diána Hughes and I am recent graduate of Boston University’s Pardee School of Global Studies, where I pursued a Masters of Arts in International Affairs with a Specialization in Security Studies. This blog is my way of bringing you along my post undergraduate journey through my masters and hopefully a PhD. I will be discussing adulting, student loans, quick recipes for those of us on the go, and how to stay balanced when you have a lot on your plate.
