Since arriving in London, I have had the good fortune to attend the theatre several times. I have been able to sit in various level seats, visit different types of venues, and see different types of productions. The first play I saw in London was Agatha Christy’s A Mouse Trap. It is the longest running…

While Abroad: Homesick?
We are now at the halfway point in London and looking back at my time here, I genuinely have not experienced real homesickness. Obviously there are moments where I think it would be great to be home with my family and see my friends but for the most part I have been trying to absorb…
The Preamble to A New Chapter
It wasn’t until I found myself staring at the flight details on my computer screen that it hit me: This would be the first time I’d be leaving the United States in over four years. Four years of an exponentially growing wanderlust finally manifested itself in a rush of unfiltered excitement. Colombia was more than…
Pre Fall Break London
I’m now nearing the halfway point in the term here in London. I’ve been taking classes one a day Monday through Wednesday with interning 4 hours on Wednesday and 8 hours Thursday and Friday. My internship placement (the Local Government Association Labour Party Division, LGA Labour for short) is amazing and it’s exactly what I…
The Media in England
Within days of living here the ads and commercials that I would see on my phone and computer automatically shifted to show UK focused content. From this point I started to pay more attention to the media here in London. In general, I have noticed a very big difference in the way that the media…
October Update!
Hey Everyone I am so excited to update you guys on how London has been for me so far. It has been exactly 39 since I have been in London and I have absolutely enjoyed every second of it. It has been such an experience so far from building relationships with my professors and classmates,…
London So Far
I have been in London for a full 5 weeks of classes and a week prior to that. I must admit, I am so pleased with how my experience is going. I had feared living in a foreign county alone and finding no one that I could relate to or enjoy the city with. Happily,…
October in London
Surprisingly to me, I haven’t felt homesick for Rollins. I can still see posts from friends at home, but I don’t necessarily care to watch them. And not because I’m jealous, but because I’ve met so many great people here that I only really care about what they’re doing around London and Europe on their…
Journal Entry #2
My first month in London has felt like a century. The adjustment to living with new people in a completely different environment has been more challenging than I was expecting. No dryer has been interesting, 3 hour classes have been tiring, the cost of living here has been strenuous but it comes with the territory….
1 Month Abroad – UK
Since being in London for a month, I have had some time to reflect on the experiences that I have had in this short time. I realize that I came into the country with unrealistic expectations and standards that just have not been met. I expected the stereotypical version of London that is portrayed in…
