Looking back on the first two weeks of October, my time in London seems to be a blur. By the second week of classes (the first week of October) my excitement of being in London had only increased and was still on the rise. My classes were all covering more and more interesting information. I…
Freshers Week and the First Week of Class
The date today is October 26th so I’ve obviously fallen behind on my blogposts. All I can say is my time spent here at QMUL has been a whirlwind of activities, classes, new places, and new people. Freshers week at QMUL is essentially an orientation week for the new freshmen students and I felt very…
Wicklow Mountains
First of all, Wicklow Mountains National Park is the most beautiful place I have ever been in my life. I had the opportunity to go on a hike through the Wicklow Mountains via Volleyball Club. Wicklow was at the top of my to do list coming to Ireland. A teacher had mentioned it to me…
Half way there
Ciao, A couple of friends and I just got back from a very relaxing trip in Santorini for the week. We spent time cliff diving, ATV riding, watching the sunset in Oia, eating gyros and taking a very strange transportation system. Their local buses consisted of 2 men and they would come in a coach…
Half Way There
I can’t believe that I am already half way through my time in London! This week we have midterms and lots of school work, but next week is the fall break week which means lots of travelling. I can’t wait to take a break away from class and work and get to do some exploring…
How to Survive in Shanghai for Under $6 a Day
In college, I spend an average of $10 per meal, or $30 a day. In a month, that’s about $900 on food. Whe you study abroad, you want to save that money to explore the country or the countries nearby. $900 a month for food is a good chunk of change. That’s in the States,…
Alexandra Pearson – Various Locations
Studying abroad was always something that I knew I wanted to do. The options were endless and making a choice was a lot harder than I anticipated, so I went abroad four times! My first experience was through a summer field study with Dr. Chong to Guatemala where we studied the lasting impact of a…
Ariane Rosen – Shanghai, China
I studied abroad in Shanghai, China in 2009. It was a crazy decision, since it would be my first time out of the U.S. I figured, when else would I have the chance to live in another country for four months? And, if I didn’t go to China now would I really ever end up…
As promised… Chainsmokers and More
Hi everyone!!!! Before you ask… Yes, I did get rid of the cold and no, I did not skip work after the concert. As you know, I went to the chainsmokers concert! For those of you who are currently wondering who the chainsmokers are, I will clarify… They are the ones who wrote the most…
Yer a wizard, Harry.
I WENT TO LONDON. A few weeks ago, my friend Ellen and I were trying to figure out what we should do with a free weekend we had coming up. I said, “Hey, wanna go to London.” and she said (spoiler alert), “Hell yes.” We bought our tickets, booked a Harry Potter walking tour, found…
