I’ve been home for about 2 weeks now, I’ve been back working for 2 weeks, and things are becoming ‘normal’ again. I figured now I can sit down and do my final blog post. I’m supposed to write about how I have changed or how my view of the world has changed from my first…

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
hello So I have just under another month in London, I leave here on June 6. All of my classes are done, final papers are all written and all of that jazz. What do I do now? literally anything I want. I think of all the time I have spent in London (been here since…
When you hit apply and they actually follow up…
I’ve had so much free time because I’ve forced myself to only leave my dorm room once or twice a week if I’m spending money. Other times I’ll leave (about 4 – 5 times a week) is strictly for studying and exercising at the Anytime Fitness nearby. I have to make money last. It’s…
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…
Study Abroad Reflections
After being home for around two months now, I still look on my experience abroad fondly and sincerely. I think of it as truly one of, if not the most gratifying, challenging, enlightening, and exciting times of my life. I always wanted to be someone that traveled and that had seen the world. I thought…
Home Again!
So, I’m finally back in America. Actually, I have been back for a few weeks now and am back at Rollins for intersession. Fittingly enough, I am taking a course on culture shock in literature and film. It is really funny comparing my own experiences to some of those in what I have been reading/watching…
Ya boy is going to London
This entire idea of going to London for 6 months hasn’t really set in yet. I’ve been planning the trip for between 3 and 4 months and the entire time it has always been this abstract idea. Like, “oh yeah, I’ll go to London and see the museums and stuff” and, “I’ll go travel to…
