Hello, Blog! October is surely flying by, and I’m finally getting a taste of the typical London weather: rainy, grey, and wet. Rather than let this get my spirits down, I’ve decided to embrace the persistent gloom and see a silver lining in the overcast skies. This week, I conducted what is one of my favorite annual projects—formulating the perfect…

Finding Out Who’s Scarier: Ghostface or Regina George?
Hello, Blog! Yet another week has passed and I’ve run into nary a British celebrity—not even Harry Styles on a Lime bike. In other words, nothing particularly interesting has transpired in the world of Camden on account of my dutiful attendance to many English lectures and seminars. While I find the subject matter to be quite interesting, I refuse to…
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…
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…
Korea trip with EDUC 359L Teaching Lab: Inquiry-Based Fieldwork in Culturally Diverse Schools 🤗✈️
Hello blog! This week I will be telling you about my study abroad experience in Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷I didn’t study abroad for a semester like most people do at Wellesley. I chose not to go abroad because I really needed to stay at Wellesley to work, and to be quite honest, I loved Wellesley too much to leave. Everything…
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.

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…
