You’re doing good, February!

Blogging has been hard lately, not because i’m too busy but because i haven’t had the patience to sit down and write about my life… I’m having a great time in Maine this semester in all aspects of my life, but the thought of midterms being around the corner just makes me think i’ll be … Continue reading »

$20 In My Pocket

Last Friday i spent my afternoon running around Goodwill with some friends. It’s odd to think about ‘charity shops’ in the UK, compared to the thrift stores of America. Goodwill is literally 10x the size of any charity shops in Leeds! I love thrift stores in America and even though it’s a little tedious to … Continue reading »

Miserably Cold in Maine

When you see pictures like this one on your Facebook as soon as you wake up you know your day is just going to be horrible. Maine is lovely, don’t get me wrong, but with wind chills making it feel this cold, i certainly did not want to get up this morning. Since coming to … Continue reading »

Happy New Year, Bitches!

So New Years Eve and Day were spent with my friend Claire in New York! Exciting, right? Being in New York i think we were guaranteed to see some weird things, and that we did. We started 2013 with seeing a very drunk woman, staggering around the carriage yelling ‘Happy New Year Bitches’ and later … Continue reading »

Medieval Times… or just some guys in chainmail

I’ve been to many Medieval themed places in the past, whether it be castles, museums or jousting shows like the one i went to today in Lyndhurst, NJ, but none were as cheesy as this one. The concept is great, watch a jousting show in an arena whilst being served ‘authentic’ food, but the Americanisation of such … Continue reading »

Skating baby…

…or not! My Aunt, Cousin, her friend and myself just got back from Florham Park Roller Rink. Bearing in mind i haven’t skated in probably ten years, and the fact i have never been to a roller rink, i can safely say i was terrible at it. Hugging the wall was the only option for me … Continue reading »

Must be Santa…

Christmas has now passed but man was it a good one. Many of my international friends were flying back to Blighty to enjoy the holidays at home with their family; i on the other hand am lucky enough to have family here in the U.S so i started a very long journey to New Jersey … Continue reading »

The semester draws in…

Back in September i wrote about which of my classes was becoming my favourite  and looking back i believe i was right, for the most part. I waffled on about my The U.S & Vietnam: A history class and even went as far as to say “i feel like i’ll enjoy learning about a subject that i’m … Continue reading »

Holidays are coming

The 1st of December fell on a Saturday this year, and with the weather in Maine once again turning extremely cold we made the most of the first weekend of December. After much drinking and merriment  with my chums in York Hall we decided to walk around campus and down to the river at 2 am. … Continue reading »
