Thanksgiving !!!
Hello everyone, How have your respective weeks been? I know I promised you a Parisian insider guide last week, but something came to my mind this week and I could not wait to share it with you. And fear not, it has to do with French culture too! (Yes this is still part of the ...
Why are you not visiting me in Paris ;) ?
Hello everyone !! I hope your week is going well until now…. I like to think about being an exchange student as being a sort of diplomat. You find yourself in another country and you suddenly find yourself boasting about your home city, your university, your program. I think I might have promised 47 people ...
American and other foods experimentations
Hello everyone !! I hope everything is going well on your side. Those last few days have been… eventful to say the least. Not only did I get to experience a typical American Halloween, but I also lived through what I consider to be a historic American election. This serves as a reminder that a ...
Studying when your friends are visiting
Hello everyone ! Like always, I hope you are doing amazing and will have a good time reading my adventures. For my part, midterms + tiredness have finally reached up to me and I have fallen a bit sick, but nothing a visit to the health center couldn’t fix (don’t worry, I have prescribed medication ...
Philly – a day in the life
Hi all! I hope everyone is doing well and surviving the midterms. When my teacher asked us if we did today, another student answered; surviving but not thriving, and I do think it reflects the common mental and physical state on campus nowadays. In addition to all that, I’ve also been called upon quite a ...
Trying to Travel in the US
Last week I promised you a bit of adventure, and since a Lannister- Sorry a French student always pays her debts, let me tell you about my little weekend enterprise! Philadelphia was sold to me as a great city for its history, cultural scene, and prime location. It is supposed to make traveling and discovering ...
French and American universities – not du pareil au même.
Hi everyone! Has this past week seemed different for you? It definitely has for me; not only because of Indigenous People’s Day and so missing a full day of class and educational content, but also more pragmatically as we’re slowly switching from enjoying the chill student life to “Oh no sorry I have to study, ...
Culturally Shocked ?
Good morning everyone! I hope everyone is doing wonderfully! On my side, I spent the weekend enjoying the “It’s always sunny” part of my home city for the next year, hoping that days like these will be numerous before the leaves turn orange. The other day, I was discussing with my three roommates how it’s ...
Arriving in Philadelphia with only two suitcases…
Hi all! AS it is my first time blogging here and consequently the first time you (virtually) meet me, I’d like to begin by presenting myself. My name is Sally, just a nickname for a much harder name to pronounce for anglophones, let’s be honest, and I have just started living my version of the ...
