This winter break has been the strangest two weeks of my life. When I travel home for break, it’s typically a 1800 mile stretch, so I’m used to not seeing my friends for months on end. The 4683 miles from London to Denver feels the same. The time I’ve spent at home has felt completely normal and I’m…

A Proper Farewell
Culture shock is real- I’ve experienced it firsthand. Stepping into the Boston Logan airport, I hear everyone speaking from what I was used to, an American accent. I feel like I can talk freely and be understood without clarification. At the baggage claim, I strike up a conversation with an individual and they understand every…
Goodbye, London
And just like that my time in London has come to an end. The past couple of weeks were spent finishing up classes and work, packing, and truly making the most of every final moment in the City.

It’s hard trying to figure out what to say now that I’m here. It honestly feels like the third week of September – I know enough to not get lost on the tube, but there’s not way I’ve been here for four months. Saying goodbye to the city is different than when I graduated high…
Party Hard
Remember how I said I didn’t like going out or living the nightlife life? Guess what I had to do. Thursday, two weeks ago now that I’m actually sitting down to write this, was the company Christmas party. Naturally, I was a little apprehensive about meeting industry professionals in a party environment. And the party…
Goodbye London
It’s pretty surreal that my time studying abroad in London is over, a little over 3 months has come and gone in a blink of an eye. Tomorrow I will be boarding a plane home to New York, although I’m excited to see my family and friends, I can’t get over the people I’ve meant…
Aaaaand it’s over
Exams have been completed, presentations have been given, final papers have been turned it, the last day of internship has been wrapped up and my final hours log has been signed. I’m done. I am officially done with my semester abroad and will be heading home in less than two days. It feels surreal to…
