Day 2 of my quarantine and I have still not fully come to terms with my return to the states. It feels surreal to be so close to home and yet unable to hug my mom and my brothers. Waving from a distance and still face-timing. I knew coming back under these circumstances would be … Continue reading Bittersweet Goodbyes →

A wise man once told me that Wales wasn't a place to visit, however after visiting I have now discovered that he is not as wise as he originally claimed. The house trip to Snowdonia, aside from a small storm, was absolutely amazing. The views we got to see along the drive and the ones … Continue reading The Land of Sheep and Cows →

My time in England has given me a new perspective on a lot of things in my life. While I don't have a great deal of time to just sit and reflect I have recently been thinking about those that are no longer with me.

So, it has been one week since the empty house filled with new exchange students. The verdict is in: they are all really great. Of course I miss my old housemates and was definitely sad to see them go, but I am really glad that I have new friends again. I'm still getting used to … Continue reading New Friends →

Hello everyone! Welcome back (switching post day to Thursday because it just makes sense) and I hope you are ready because this Scotland journey has been the craziest yet!

I really need to get back on track with posting, I promise I will make an effort. Now, as I stated before the holidays, the family came across the … Continue reading Grist 6 Reunion →

Hello my darlings. It has been quite awhile since my last post, I do apologize for being so MIA. With the end of the term and seeing exchange students before they leave I was just running out of free time to write. Plus, nothing quite interesting enough for the blog took place since my last … Continue reading Welcome Back →

Hello everyone! Unfortunately, I have been disgustingly sick since Tuesday, so this weeks post is going to be a bit different. Especially because all I really want to do is go to bed when I should probably be working on my essay that is due in two weeks, sorry mom. I will say that I … Continue reading My Irish Weekend →

Hello darlings, welcome back, I hope you are excited to hear about my day trip that was filled with fun fall weather, good views, and cobblestone streets. In case the title of this weeks post didn't give it away for you, I went to Cambridge! Allow me to walk you all through the day (this … Continue reading Cambridge! →
