This Easter I got to spend the holiday with my Aunt Katrin, Uncle Jackie, and my two cousins Lina and Gatlin. My uncle, who is my dad’s oldest brother, has been living in Germany for as long as I can remember. It had been a couple of years since I had last saw them. So…

Finishing the Chapter
I can’t believe that my time in London is now coming to an end.It seems just like yesterday that I arrived here, eager and ready to begin a great adventure, and now it is time for me to say goodbye. It doesn’t seem right or fair. No, I refuse to call this a goodbye, for…
Being Home
It has now been about a week, since I arrived back home to the States. I find myself still adjusting to being back here. I feel as though mentally I am here, but physically, I am still in England, if that makes any sense. I am so happy to be back home with my parents…
That Time We Went Back To Hogwarts
This past Sunday, I had the best experience ever, for I went back to Hogwarts. For those who know me very well, they will tell you that I am probably the biggest Harry Potter fan you will ever meet. From memorabilia, to going to the midnight releases for the books and movies, to attending wizard…
One Month to Go
It’s crazy to think that in exactly one month from today, I will be back in the U.S. Time is really flying by so fast. There has been so much that I have done here, but still so much that I have left to do. So far this experience has been amazing! I can already…
Spring Break to Ireland

Living with Seven Roommates Abroad
Here in London, I have seven other roommates that I live with. Yes, I said seven. I know that to most it seems insane to have eight people all living under the same roof, but oddly enough it works out perfectly. I have the best living situation and I wouldn’t change it for the world….
Interning in London
There have been definite highs and lows when it comes to interning here in London. Never before have I had the opportunity to experience working in a professional theatre environment like this. In the past, the only exposure I have had with professional theatre has been through any professional acting jobs I have booked in…
Falling in Love with London
So I’ve been here for a couple of weeks now and I already feel at home. There is something about this city that is just so magical. It makes you want to take in every sight, sound and smell. It’s all so fresh and new here. Adjusting to life here in London has been very…
One Day More
Playing the song from Les Misérables seems only fitting as I write this post. I have so much excitement for this trip, and this song just builds it up even more. My name is Alexandria Crawford, I’m a junior at Rollins College, double majoring in Theatre and English. In just a little over 24 hours, I will be…
