I’ve been busy these past couple of week, busy enough to (almost) forget to do another blog post. Since I have arrived here at Maynooth University I have spent little to no time in my room doing nothing. Last weekend, I met with Elexsa and Paula in London because Elexsa had planned to attend the…
Fashion in Japan Drives me Crazy/ Gives me Life
Why Japanese Fashion is Exhausting Literally everything about Japanese Fashion is on point. From the hair styles to the clothes that they wear down to the types of shoes that they have, it’s great to look at, to keep up with (catch up with) is a completely different story. Back home, in America, I realized…
Abroad Thoughts
It’s bizarre to think I’ve only been in Aix for a little over a week. Both my housemate and I agree that in spite of our unwavering awe with being here, we feel as though we’ve been here for ages. I’ve got the walk through Cours Mirabeau down. I know the general suggestion-rule to stay…
Only TWO Weeks
It’s only been two weeks and yet it feels like I have been in Ireland for months. My first day in Ireland was rough. When I landed I had to figure out how to make it from Dublin to Maynooth. I managed to find the bus, however the wheels on my suitcase were not very…
Exploring Japan
Now that things are starting to slow down, I’m beginning to find a rhythm. I feel at home here for the most part, and I’m starting to try things that I never would have tried in America. I have some kind of event written down almost every week until December, so I’m rarely bored. For…
My first day at my internship
As our first full week in London comes to an end, I’m starting to fall into a rhythm of life in the city. I feel so lucky for the chance to be here, living and working in such an amazing global city. Starting my internship was the highlight of my week, and the part I…
My first week in London
After a long day in airports, I arrived in London early Tuesday morning. After meeting up with friends from my home school, we jumped in a cab (with my massive amount of luggage), and headed to our new home. I was pleasantly surprised by our flat! I was expecting something small and dingy and our…
2 Weeks or 2 Months?! I am Alive.
After a long two weeks since arriving from Spain, I feel like I have learned a month of life here. We arrived on a Saturday and stayed at the Covadonga hotel, after which we met Ana B. who took us out to lunch. We then were given a small orientation and a tour of Oviedo….
Internship, Stonehenge, Bath and more

Pre-Departure Thoughts
Traveling has never been something important to me until I spent a week in Peru with my classmates last spring. Since then, I want to “go everywhere and see everything.” My semester in London is the perfect opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and have so many chances to try new things. I’ve never…
