England has been a time. Being abroad is truly an awesome, amazing experience, but school-wise, everything feels a so different from what I’m used to. Most of my days are spent waking up late, grabbing coffee and sometimes a sandwich as I brace the cold on the way to an afternoon class, and then alternating…
November, the election, and home
By far, the biggest event of these two weeks was the US presidential election. As a Hillary supporter the election results utterly shocked me and hovered over me like a cloud for many days after November 8th. However, I didn’t let my disappointment ruin the week after the election and the week before I gave…
October Flew By!
This is yet another late blog post, which just goes to show how busy and captivating life can be in London. The last two weeks of October I’ve become much more familiar with London as a city and Queen Mary as a school. With regards to London, I feel that no matter how much time…
5 weeks left…
Last night I sat around a table with two other girls from Rollins. We had just finished dinner at our favorite Taco place in Brixton, a district in London. We were discussing something that really made me step back and say “wow”. I think it is important enough to write about. We have all changed….
Ireland
I recently just got back from a trip to Ireland with one of my childhood best friends who is also studying abroad this semester with her school in Italy. My favorite part about this trip was the Cliffs of Moher, the views were just breathtaking. We probably took about 300 pictures between the two of…
Venice, Italy (fall break)
During my fall break I also went to Venice, Italy with my roommates, my friend Corey, and his friend Dianne! Before going to Venice I had heard it was very dirty, and there wasn’t much to see. I had mixed feelings about booking the trip to Venice because of all of the hate is was…
Travel Spontaneously
its now been about two weeks since I’ve been back from fall break and it was probably the best time of my life. I went to Italy with two of my roommates and we ended up backpacking around the coast of Italy. We hit Naples, Capri, Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast and Venice. We would start…
November Rush
Moin! Today I finally understood what people warned me about time literally escaping from your fingertips while studying abroad. Where did the last three weeks go? I am usually on top of writing my blogs but since November began my schedule swept me off my feet. From the first week of this month, I took…
Capri, Italy (Fall break)
Today is November 16th, and I am slowly beginning to realize that my adventure is here is going to come to an end very soon. I have met some of the most amazing people here and we have been on amazing adventures. My roommates, Dani and Brittany, and I all went to Italy for our…
Traveling 101
After all of the traveling I have been doing throughout Spain and Europe (stay tuned) I like to think that I have picked up some tricks of the trade. I have become a pro-packer. One backpack, a jacket, a purse and I am good for at least 3-4 days. There are plenty of options for…
