As I welcome in the new year, I also welcome the new and exciting prospects it holds. Some of these prospects will be challenging, like my internship and new classes, but equally as exciting.

Leaving to London
Traveling to London has always been a dream of mine, that I never thought would come true. I know that this opportunity is once in a lifetime and I will have to face challenges that take me out of my comfort zone. Coming from someone who has lived in a sort of bubble, surrounded by…
T-Minus 9 days until take off
As my arrival date to London quickly approaches, I am filled with both excitement and nervousness. I am excited for all of the things that I am currently expecting to gain from my experience, and for which I’m not even sure to expect. I’ve been given a lot of advice from friends, family members, neighbors,…

Final month in London
I’m in the final stretch for my time here in London. All my classes are about to come to a close and there’s only a couple of weeks left until I finish my internship. I have been in London for almost three months, and while I have been able to experience and learn many things,…
Thank you, London
When I left for my semester in London, I was told by friends that had studied abroad previously that I was going to have the semester of my life, but that when the last couple of weeks hit I would be ready to return home and to Rollins. I’m sorry Rollins, but I don’t think…
