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…

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…
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. On Friday of last week, Julia drove me from Wellesley, MA to Bronxville, NY. She gave me a tour of her hometown and fed me lunch. We then took the train into Grand…
New York: My Summer in Transit
Hey guys! It’s me again with yet another blog post—I’ve had two very exciting weeks since I last updated you all, and though I’d love to get into them in depth I fear I won’t be able to in so few words. I’ll be recapping as much as I can for you now! I spent the weekend before last weekend…
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…
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…
Building Independence
Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has a fun and safe day. Today, I want to reflect on something not-so-spooky: building independence in college. Like many, coming to Wellesley is my first time fully living away from home. I live in Illinois, so I am a couple states away from my family. Up until Wellesley, I had only been away from…
I was in the 212.
Greetings Bloggies. This is Avery reporting back from New York. I have not procured enough words in the English language to describe how amazing this trip was, so I’ll describe it through the vibe of one of my current favorite song instead. This is actually my third time ever in New York. The first time I went was actually on…
spring break
This past week was Spring break. Here in Geneva, Spring break coincides with Easter so many folks decided to go home to celebrate with their families. It’s funny to write about Spring break, as I know that the semester at Wellesley is coming to an end and some of you are finally choosing your next steps in your educational career. Next…
halfway there
My adventures in Geneva continue! This past week marked about the halfway point of my time here. I can feel the work ramping up just as the flowers are blooming. It’s getting harder to stay inside and study. So this past weekend, I took a day trip with some friends to Lyon, a city close to Geneva in France. Lyon…
