(Apparently, you have to actually put words onto the page to keep updating a blog, who knew? But I'm back!) A few days ago, I posted this picture on Instagram: #ImWithHer Someday when I have my own little girl, I hope she'll be able to read about this day and smile 😊❤️🇺🇸🎀 #election2016 #internationalaffairsmajor #vote A photo posted by Emily Love (@elove428) on...
A very belated happy 4th to any other Americans reading this! I hope you enjoyed cookouts, time with friends and family, and fireworks... because it was 70 degrees and raining here! This certainly isn't the first time we've had a rainy 4th of July. It always seems like every year, it's either very hot, too humid, or rainy... or a combination of any...
...Knock knock, anyone there? I really, really didn't mean to neglect this blog for so long. After I came home and settled into classes, work, and just my "normal" life overall, I was excited to have a place to express myself and write a little each week- especially as I navigate finishing undergrad, entering the "real world", and the possibility of grad school...

My Irish language exam was at the beginning of April, and two of my remaining four classes required final...
Prague has been on my list of places to visit for a while. Ever since finishing my European politics course last Spring, I've wanted to learn more about Central Europe and the Balkan region. And of course, it's just plain beautiful! Prague is a quick 2.5 hours from Dublin, so I tagged along with a friend from two of my classes in Galway,...
I'm back! It's been quite the few weeks here, and I've survived some bad migraine days- time to play catch-up! The NUIG French Society has been an amazing way to meet some great people, practice some French, and just have a great time in Galway. I worked on the costume and makeup crew backstage at FrenchSoc's production of Volia, Olivia!- a bilingual play...
(Disclaimer: This post was drafted after a tough day when I was hitting a bit of a 2 months in slump... I grabbed some peanut butter from my stash and stopped feeling sorry for myself. It happens!) As I've grown accustomed to Galway, it's become apparent that I fit in a little more now. I know my way around, and how to find...
"I'm going to try to write some sort of post every day." -Emily Love, February 2016 Riigghht. It turns out that despite how much I have to say sometimes, writer's block, indecisiveness, and technical issues can still get in the way. Moving on, here's a bit of a round up of what I've been up to recently, current obsessions, and some of my...
