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…
My Final London Weekend
It doesn’t feel at all like I have been in London for almost three and a half months. My time here has been a whirlwind that has gone all too quickly. I’ve come to love so many little things about London and the people in it. One of those things is the tube, as I…
A Prolonged Vacation
Being abroad is one of the weirdest sensations I’ve ever experienced. I feel as though I’ve been in London for years, yet at the same time it feels like just yesterday I was landing in Heathrow and moving into my flat. After hours of reflection trying to put all those feelings into words I’ve found…
Time is Tickin’
I cannot believe there are just 11 days left until my flight back to the US. Time is going so fast, as it has the entire semester, and there is still so much left to do. I have a few things on my bucket list, such as the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the British…
Winding Down
Well it’s official. 11 days left in London and I genuinely don’t know what to do with myself. Last week was a bit rough, having to spend Thanksgiving away from my family. However, CAPA held a Thanksgiving dinner for us and while I knew it wouldn’t be the same, it was nice to be among…
The Most Unusual Thanksgiving
While I’ve spent thanksgiving abroad before I would have to say this year was my most unusual experience in celebrating a holiday far from home. It’s not that I didn’t eat enough, because believe me I did, however, it was quite a different selection than the usual festive menu of turkey, cranberries, stuffing and pie….
Christmas is in the AIR my friends
The streets and city of London are decorated to perfection during this special time of year. Now I believe everyone who told me “just wait until Christmas time-London is the most beautiful place to be!” In Hyde Park, there is an amusement park just for the holidays called Winter Wonderland. There’s an ice rink, ice…
