I'm Maggie! I'm a student from Frostburg State University studying Communication in Jyväskylä, Finland. I love hockey, my sorority and the sky. Whatever happens, happens.

blog A Letter to My Study Abroad Experience
blog 3 Ways to Experience Your Host Country’s Culture One of the best things you can do while abroad is experience the local culture of the city and country you’re living in. Each country has its own unique culture and it’s not just fun, but also important to experience that and see how people from other countries live their day-to-day life.
blog Realistic Expectations One Month In To Studying Abroad I’m one month into study abroad and to be honest — this has been the hardest month of my life. Frankly, it's been a roller coaster. The ups, the downs, the speed, everything feels so out of control and it’s not a great feeling.
