As a part of my Honors MacroEconomics class, we were tasked with researching an idea of our interest in the macro economic environment. With my interest in Spanish language and culture, and intent on studying abroad in Spain, I chose to do my research paper on the Catalonia Crisis, in the midst of its most severe period in time, back in the Spring of 2018. It's interesting looking back on my thoughts then and knowing how the climate has changed over the year.
