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…

Travel Diary from Abroad

Hi all, Holy moly! It’s my second to last week in Dublin! What a whirlwind the last few months have been. It only seems fitting to write a good old fashioned travel diary. Ireland has been the most beautiful place with kind, genuine and hilarious people. While I was fortunate enough to travel to other countries as well, I want…

Study Abroad Stories

Hi all,  With less than a month remaining of my time abroad, I thought it would be fitting to chat about my experience studying abroad. To preface, I had gone into this time away without much preparation other than what the Office of International Studies requires. I had taken a look at the brochure for Trinity College maybe once or…

Tale of a Monday Morning Muffin

Hi all, Lots to celebrate this week! Happy Halloween, happy first of the month, and happy almost winter break! This week’s post honestly has no structure to be 100% truthful. I thought I could share a short story from the past week, just to give some insight into what my life has been like! You can laugh, it’s OK. I…

Gluten: 0 – Anna: 1

I have been dreaming of writing this post for SO long…the day has finally come for me to talk about all things being gluten free. The good, the bad, and the tasty! I have been strictly gluten free since the second semester of freshman year, but only recently have I taken it as seriously as I needed to. I thought…

Sorry, this seat is taken!

Hi all, Let’s talk about SOLO travel! It seems fitting given I am abroad and going to be doing quite a bit of traveling in the upcoming months. As someone who had only left the US for the first time this past summer, the idea of traveling abroad to study and also explore on my own was quite daunting to…

It’s Spooky Season…Back to School

Hi all, Let’s talk about everything school this week: classes, majors and how to manage all of it! I like to think I have a bit of a unique perspective with being abroad and being able to get a taste of another university’s academic expectations after being so used to those at Wellesley. For those who may not know, I…

Monday Night is the New Saturday Night

Hi all, Happy first week of October! Holy moly did September just fly by so quickly. The fall at Wellesley is one of the most beautiful times to see campus. The leaves start to turn to a pumpkin orange, and the campus feels like a fall wonderland. I am envious of everyone being able to experience it this semester! While…

From First-Year to Abroad

Hi all, Another week is in the books for this fall 2023 semester! I still cannot believe I am a junior this year. It feels like just yesterday my parents were moving me into campus in a post-COVID era. I am very happy that those who have moved in this year and in the years to come will get to…
