Anything can be an adventure if you just believe hard enough
It’s been awhile since I’ve written anything as life has, once again, gotten in the way. I’m finally getting back into a routine and now find myself with enough free time where I’m inspired to write again. Considering how busy I’ve been, I’ve found myself nostalgic for trips past as I wait for our next … Continue reading Take a Hike: A day out to the Seven Sisters
As you all know, there's a pandemic on. And there's been a pandemic on. Which means I've been mostly stuck in London during my time here so far. It hasn't been so bad, to be fair. London is London and there are still plenty of things to see and do even in the middle of … Continue reading Leaving London: A quick day trip to Brighton
I'm back! I wrote my last post over a year ago when I first arrived in London and I've been silent ever since. I hadn't originally intended on abandoning the blog but it was pointed out to me that my posts were pretty negative and, as such, I shouldn't write more unless I had something … Continue reading One year on: completing a Master’s degree in London (during a pandemic)
I've finally moved to London! In my previous post I explained the "why" so now let me explain the "how." Given that we are in the middle of a global pandemic situation, moving abroad was definitely even less fun than it would normally be. Due to a lack of available flights I ended travelling for … Continue reading What it’s like moving overseas during Covid (Spoiler: it sucks)
It wasn't supposed to be like this. I originally started entertaining the idea of getting another degree in Europe back in 2018, while I was still in Copenhagen. The more I thought about it the more I realized that I really, really wanted to make it happen. So I spent the next year and a … Continue reading Why I’m Studying in London During a Pandemic
Now that I've written about my whole exchange semester, I'm taking this blog in a brand new direction. I'm still paying for this domain and stuff, so I figured I'd better keep writing. Exciting, I know. Anyways, here's my first post in a new series featuring reflections on my time abroad and some sweet travel … Continue reading 10 Surprising Things I Really Loved About My Exchange Semester
Here we are, nearly two years later. I’m finally finishing up my Denmark saga. It’s been a long ride (too long, honestly). All I have left to write about is reflections on final exams and my final week abroad. So let’s get to it. Exams. Perhaps the most important thing about studying abroad since, lest … Continue reading All Good Things Must Come to an End
My time in Europe went by so fast. December and exams crept up on me and suddenly I was very aware of just how little time I had left. Before I headed back to America, I did have one more trip planned. This one would reunite me with my parents. They had planned a European … Continue reading Writing in a Winter Wonderland
One thing about studying abroad in the fall semester is that you inevitably miss two big American holidays: Halloween and Thanksgiving. However, as a tradeoff, you get to be in Europe for the Christmas season which is arguably the most magical thing ever. I knew both of these things going into this trip. I wasn’t … Continue reading On Holidays
The trip I was most excited for. While it’s true that I had already been to London once this semester, it was a last minute, 24 hour trip. Definitely not enough time to do things properly. This time, the trip was preplanned, longer, and accompanied. I would be travelling with Other Katie and I was … Continue reading 2 Katie 2 London
