It’s been about a week now since I’ve flown home to the States and I’m back in my room, staring at the all too familiar pink striped carpet and laying in the same bed I was laying in right before I left. I would say that everything is the same, but something has changed; and…

Reflection after returning from London
Before I arrived in London, I assumed that my identity as an American would cause conflict and result in people looking down on and judging me. I was warned that the British like to casually talk about politics in their everyday life. It is not as taboo or viewed as divisive as it is for…
Parisian Fashion!
During my time here in London, I have been fortunate enough to travel around to different countries! Everywhere in Europe is easily accessible and fairly cheap to travel to through smaller airlines. About two weeks ago, I was able to travel to Paris to celebrate my birthday with my family! My mom used to live…
More to London
I can’t believe there are only 3 weeks left of the semester! It has flown by so fast and surprisingly, I’m not ready to leave! London has been an amazing experience for me personally. I’ve learned so much about the city; London is nothing of what I imagined it to be. This city is a…
Filling a Void
I have love and respect for every sport, but boy do Londoners love football! And by football I mean soccer. The sports culture of London is centered around football- from local to national and professional league, it is a sport that pretty much everyone has played or watched- either way they know the game.

A few weeks ago we had our spring break week. My classmate and I planned a whole week to travel to other countries in Europe. The benefits of living in Europe is being able to easily travel to other countries within a week! We chose to visit Madrid and Barcelona, Spain; Rome, Italy; and Athens,…
Three Weeks Left
My favorite experiences I have had in England have to be The Warner Bros. Studio Tour, The Making of Harry Potter, walking on Abbey Road, staring at everything in Harrods, watching Kendrick Lamar in concert, and site seeing the city. But my favorite moments have to be the times I shared with the people in…
Traveling
I’ve been never traveled so much in such a short amount of time than I have abroad. I never left the country until this experience and now I have been to Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy and, obviously, England. The first country I went to outside of England was the Netherlands. I stayed in…
Camden Town
I am settled in Camden Town, and I absolutely love it here! Camden is very famous for its street art and music scene. The old MTV headquarters is around the corner from my flat and the Round House, a famous concert venue where countless famous bands have played, is within walking distance. There’s a bar…
Only three weeks to go
I can’t believe in about three weeks the program will be over and I’ll be leaving London to return to Florida. It has gone by so fast. Currently I am getting ready for my trip to Dublin, Ireland next week. I am so excited. I’ve always wanted to go to Ireland. Fingers crossed that the…
