Hi everyone! Things are settling into their normal rhythm here in Wellesley—homework never ends, deadlines are creeping behind every corner, and you need to pull out your google calendar to figure out if you can hang out with your friends during the day. There is something very soothing in that whole routine though that I missed when I was abroad,…

Back to Wellesley
Hi everyone! Guess who is back in Wellesley? It’s really amazing being here. It’s great seeing all of my friends, my favorite professors, even the geese again! What was not so great though was the weather this week—it was freezing cold the whole first week of classes. It’s starting to get better now, but it’s still rather cold, and there’s…
So long, Edinburgh
Hey everyone! Welcome to my last blog post from Scotland and the last one before I am back in Wellesley in January. It has honestly been a wild ride. I have met so many amazing people that I am going to miss, I have visited so many interesting and beautiful places, and I have learned so much about Scotland and…
Things I miss about Wellesley
Hey everyone! I can’t actually believe that it’s already December, time really does fly by. I am officially done with classes (yay!), and my exams start next week (nay!). I have loved my experience here so much, but I feel ready to go home and then back to Wellesley soon. Speaking of that, today I decided to tell you some…
Penultimate Week of Classes
Hey everyone! Yep, you read that right, this week is my penultimate week of classes, which is still crazy to me. I feel like I arrived here only yesterday, and suddenly I can see the finish line. My friends at Wellesley are just finishing their midterms, and I am here prepared to face my final exams. I honestly don’t feel…
Studying, London, and course registration
Hey everyone! As you may have noticed, I skipped the blog post last week (November is just a tough month for university students I fear), so I thought I should give you some updates as to what I have been up to recently. Of course, the thing that occupies the majority of my time right now is studying. I just…
Travel Diary
Hey everyone! By the time I am back on Wellesley soil you might get to know Scotland (and its neighbours?) rather well if you stick with me. I have had the opportunity to explore around Wellesley—New Hampshire, Boston, NYC, etc. Now though, I am definitely traveling a lot more. I think that that’s a very big part of the study…
Day in the Life
Hi everyone! I haven’t done a day in the life blog recently, so I think that it’s time for one! I’m gonna take you with me through what an average Tuesday looks like in my life. My day starts with an alarm at 7:15 am and leaving the apartment at 7:40 am to catch my 7:52 am bus. I arrive…
My academic life at Wellesley vs at the University of Edinburgh
Hey everyone! For this week I thought it would be fun to compare my academic life at Wellesley and at Edinburgh. In a lot of ways my academic life here is a lot different than what I’m used to at Wellesley, but there are surprisingly many similarities as well. For one, one of the biggest similarities is the way my…
Welcome to Edinburgh
Hey everyone! As you know, I’m studying abroad at the University of Edinburgh for the semester (yay!). I was really excited when I was moving here, because I have always wanted to visit the city and Scotland as a whole. Before Brexit happened, and I chose to apply to schools in the US, the University of Edinburgh was my first…
