This is my fourth week in London. I have gained a good knowledge of Queen Mary University of London Mile End campus and its surroundings over the past three weeks. In this blog, I will write some useful tips for you about how I prepare for classes and where I shop for groceries. Class Preparation There was a campus…

Pre-departure–Queen Mary University of London
My flight is about seven hours away. I am currently sitting on the floor of my room thinking back to my past experience. Study abroad is not a big deal for me because study in the United States is already abroad to me. I had been to the United States for 6 years, and these years…
Across the pond
I’m back home now! It truly is bittersweet in the sense that towards the end I was quite accustomed to London and other places in Europe, but my desire to be home was that much stronger than my familiarity with my temporary home. I couldn’t wait to return to all the loved ones I missed so dearly. This…
Traveling: Why is it so awesome?
Growing up I always associated traveling and “being a wanderlust” with a concept for those that were well off. It’s grandiose. I could never afford that. Maybe someday when I’ve made real tangible “adult money” I can possibly go to Italy like I’ve always dreamed. Although I still think a lot of these things are…
Still Here

black coffee
So i mentioned in my last post that I don’t think London is as cool as everyone chalks it up to be, and I’m definitely going to stick to those guns. This post isn’t about that though, rather I’m gonna talk about what has been going on in my brain lately. School here is literally…
London isn’t that great
I have 3 posts to write in the next 3 days, so instead of saying variants of the same thing three times, I’m going to dedicate each post to a specific aspect of life over in London. Today I feel like I should write about the general ‘what it is like in London’ to lay…
It snowed…..a lot. Plus other things
London saw snow that it hasn’t seen in about 10 years! I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and I have to say that I took the sunny weather for granted. I handled it well and stayed nice and bundled up. I guess I’m writing about this because I wasn’t really expecting to see this…
