Greetings my lovely readers! This past Saturday was one for the books because……your girl officially turned 21!!! 🥳 Honestly, I still can’t believe it — part of me feels like very grown lmaoo, while the other part of me still wants to be in bed watching Netflix instead of being a real adult. Mind you guys I have literally been…

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…
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.

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!

Fall Break in New York 🍁

Wellesley students like to use fall break to travel, rest, and catch up on schoolwork. During…

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…
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…
NEW YORK CITY
Hello wonderful readers! I have such a fun trip to tell you all about. I went to New York with Julia to visit our close friend Cecilia.

New York: My Summer in Transit
