Fall Break
Hi everyone! Fall break was this past weekend, and it was a much needed rest (and time to catch up with work if you are a busy senior). Here are some of the things I did during this break: 1. My friends and I had an early Halloween inspired night. We reserved the TV room in Stone-Davis and watched some…

Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins in Europe
Hello, Blog! I am glad to say I have another week in London under my belt, and this week was especially thrilling because my parents visited me!

A hectic Tuesday
Hi everyone! I thought it might be a good time of the semester to do a day-in-the-life, and tell you specifically, what a typical Tuesday looks like for me. I woke up a little earlier than usual, around 8 am, because I had to do some reading for my 9:55 am Greek and Roman mythology class. We have recently been…
So You’re Moving Into Wellesley

Greetings my lovely readers! Surprise!!!! It’s official, I’m back this year ready to take y’all along with me as I start my junior year of college (I know I still can’t quite believe it either).

London Might Be My Cup of Tea
Hello Blog! My name is Maggie Jenkins, and I am currently a junior at Wellesley. At the moment, however, I am not writing from our small Massachusettsian campus, but rather from my small flat in London, England. As a result of months of meticulous planning and a decent amount of self-prescribed British telly, I am spending my fall semester studying…
