If you haven&#8217;t heard of them, definitely give them a listen (I recommend Malt Liquor, Tap Water Drinking, Masterpiece and HDL to start off with). No pictures from this, but trust me, it was great.<\/p>\n<p>The next weekend was spent in Manchester with Rollins very own Ana Rivas (hey friend). We saw Chance. The. Freaking. Rapper. To make a long rant very short, he is my favorite human being on the planet at the moment. I booked this ticket in July and have been waiting every single day since for the time to come. It was amazing, Manchester was amazing. Ana is amazing. 1583940035\/10 would do again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_4662-169x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15695 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_4662-169x300-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for these experiences, Europe.
