I’ve officially been in Germany for a little over a month. It is still unreal. This opportunity has been amazing but definitely not easy. I just wrapped up my first week of classes and wow, just wow. One thing I probably won’t get used to is how many classes I actually have to attend. I’m…
I’ve only just completed my first full week at Maynooth and already so much has happened. Freshers Week as they call it over here was a whirlwind of meeting new people and going to parties. But even after being here for two weeks, I still have jet lag! This made it so hard to stay…
It has been 3 weeks already!
Hi everyone! I am back! I honestly cannot believe it has been 3 weeks since I got to London… it has all gone so fast and so slow at the same time! I know you are probably tired of reading about by internship but it is such an amazing experience and I gave gotten to…
Rollins in Shanghai – September of plans
Hello again. Welcome to the 3rd part of the Rollins in Shanghai experience by Mikolaj Geritz. These past 2 weeks not a lot events has occurred during my stay.

Freshers Week to Central London
So I have officially been living in London for over a week now and it has been incredible, but definitely an adjustment. The jet lag itself was hard to overcome and took me a few days to completely get used to, but the culture shock was another story. Servers and store employees check up on…
It’s Grand.
So I’ve been in this beautiful country for 2 weeks and it has not disappointed one bit. Boring stuff out of the way first: the first week was orientation so no classes or anything there. Then last week was the first week of classes, but nothing terribly difficult or noteworthy happened with those. As expected,…
Rotterdam Pride
Wow! The past couple of weeks have been so much fun with traveling and events set up by our program! This last weekend we traveled about an hour and half outside of Amsterdam to go participate in the Pride Walk of Rotterdam. I think my favorite part was seeing the difference in the architecture compared…
Breaking the Stereotypes
I’ve been in Shanghai, China for quite sometime now and I couldn’t be happier! I’m still so surprised every moment when I wake up and realize I’m not back in America. To say the least, Shanghai is AMAZING! Before coming, I always thought of China is a place full of rice fields, weird foods, and…
A Bond That Can’t Be Unclipped
Oh the places you’ll go! … Better yet, oh the places you’ll go with a handy-dandy fanny pack! If you think that only 50 year old men at Disney World have the right to wear a fanny pack, you’re wrong. The fanny pack is one of man’s greatest invention! Not only is it a convenient…
First Impressions
I’ve been in London a few weeks now and I already feel like I’m at home here. In many ways it hasn’t been hard for me to adjust to living here. I love the city and how there are things going on around you all the time and there are so many places to explore….
