Hello, Blog! Wait…actually…bonjour? This week so far has been FABULOUS and so full of new experiences and phenomenal food. On Friday after class, I met up with my sister, Olivia, who had just flown from Brooklyn, New York to London for our ten-day-double-birthday-Europe-extravaganza. We went back to my flat, packed our bags, and headed over to St. Pancras International to…

Music, Museums, and Matcha: A Week in my London Life
Hello, Blog! I’ve had another great week, so much so that I’ve barely even felt the annual post-Halloween depression I’ve come to expect after the decorations go away and the candy goes back to regular packaging. This could also be due to the fact that I’m still carrying out my Fall Watchlist and the mountain of Halloween movies I still…
Good food, interesting science
I feel like something most college students across the country would agree on is that good food in college tastes even better when it’s also free. There’s just nothing like being offered free food at events. This past week, my friends, most of whom are from similar-ish cultural backgrounds as me, and I had an event through Wellesley’s Orthodox Christian…
Halloween in Hampstead
Hello, Blog! I can’t believe we’re already nearly halfway through November! You know what they say: time flies when you’re in another country. This was another special week because I got to spend some more time with my friend from Wellesley, Adriana! She’s currently studying in Bath and took the train over so I could show her a little around…
Feeling 22 (Tapas Edition)
Greetings my lovely readers! I hope y’all are feeling rejuvenated and had a chill week so far…. Mine has been kinda hectic, not gonna lie.

Pubs and the Theatre: An Authentic London Experience
Hello, Blog! I am glad to say I have spent another week eating good food and seeing what London has to offer. Here’s what I got up to! In an effort to continue my London initiation, my flatmates took me out to a British pub called J.D. Wetherspoons, commonly known as “Spoons,” where we enjoyed drinks and delicious chocolate fudge…
Tower Court Tales: Friends, Food, and Full Stomachs
Greetings, my lovely readers!I hope y’all are doing well and having a great week 😄. In my case, I am reaching the end of midterm season and so I have truly been working 24/7 (I am so tired y’all I can’t even lie….😅). But, the end is in sight, so I’m happy about that! Anyways, for this week’s blog I…
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! Although I arrived in this country alone and have spent a couple of weeks gaining independence and officially entering adulthood, nothing made me happier than to know that my parents were coming to…
Sweet Memories: Cheesecake Factory Chronicles
Greetings my lovely readers! I hope y’all have a good week so far 😊. Today I’m going to take y’all on a little rewind to the day when I went out to Cheesecake Factory during the summer as a little send-off for myself and my amazing friends who worked together in the Admission Office over the summer. When we found…
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…
