Looking Ahead
I cannot believe the semester is almost over. We have two weeks left of classes before finals here at Wellesley! The Boston Marathon, called MarMon here, was this week, and I had a lot of fun cheering the runners on; we were blessed with super sunny weather too. Class registration is also this week, so I am preparing for that.…
Reset and jet-set to the U.S.!
Hi all, I am going home this week! I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by. December has really crept up on me. This week’s post is largely going to be a mix of random thoughts that I have had. I have been working on my final exams (all six of them) coupled with the lovely task of packing…
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…
Finals Season: Words of Advice

Monday Midterm Melancholy
Hi all, Midterm season is upon us! My midterms are looking a bit different this semester than how they have looked at Wellesley for my previous four semesters. For today’s post I thought I could do a bit of a comparison and contrast of the workload, lecture setup, and overall academic experience abroad and at Wellesley thus far! My credentials…
Feeling Grateful

There is lots to be thankful for, and for this little post I thought I could talk about a few of the moments I have cherished and enjoyed thus far!

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…
