SEVENTEEN | Cheers
28.08.2016 Most everyone was excited to get back to the states, but I wasn’t ready to leave. Only a handful of us shared the same sentiment. Being abroad was like a dream come true. We explored places we thought we would only see in pictures. We forged beautiful friendships with a group of very different people. ...
SIXTEEN | A Magical Weekend
20.08.2016 Woke up 6:00am and took the tube to Leicester Square with two friends. Five hours and thirty-five minutes of waiting in the cold, rainy London weather. Worth every ticking second, ounce of exhaustion, and spent pence. Luck must have been on our side because we got tickets for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child ...
FIFTEEN | Balance: The Student’s Motto
19.08.2016 This week has been a struggle. On top of our regular classes, we had a presentation and paper to complete, which both were worth 30% of our final grade each. Most of us couldn’t enjoy the gorgeous weather that came through this week (finally! it felt like summer weather) because we had five days ...
FOURTEEN | Shooting Stars and Hot Air Balloons
15.08.2016 The realization hit me today and is sitting heavy on my mind: only two weeks left before my study abroad comes to an end. Like a stone dropped into a still body of water, the realization created ripples of thoughts and memories – most of which inspired this post. To say the least, there were ...
THIRTEEN | Things to Do in London
12.08.2016 It’s not the first time I wrote this and it’s not the last time I will write this: living in London is expensive. After living here for about two weeks, we’ve learned a few things to work the system. 1) If you want to save money, go to the markets Whether it’s Camden Market ...
TWELVE | Bus Adventurers
7.08.2016 We came to London with hopes of exploration. For £92, we did just that. Nine of us took a bus tour through Evans Evans Tour company on an early Sunday morning. Our first stop: Windsor Castle. This is one of the primary residence for the queen. Unfortunately for us, Queen Elizabeth is on holiday and so is ...
ELEVEN | Living in London
4.08.2016 It’s been a struggle to adjust to London. Mostly in the physical sense. I’ve been battling this off and on sore throat – same goes for majority of the house. We suspect it’s from the change of weather. This past week has been seesawing between high sixties and mid-seventies with rain, clouds, and some ...
TEN | Home, Sweet Home, Again
29.07.2016 Here we are: 12 Manson Place, Kensington London. After checking in at our 24 hours reception desk, the Metrogate, we keyed in to our new home. We learned that there’s twelve of us living together in 12 Manson. I’m pretty excited about the mix: four of us are coming from Berlin and the other ...
NINE | Red Dresses and Chocolate Waffles
We lucked out. For our dual city program, we had a gap between our last day in Berlin and our first day in London. Translation: that meant we had six free days. We intended to use it. 29.07.2016 In the past six days, my friend and I have seen swirling red dresses and consumed an ...
EIGHT | Auf Wiedersehen
22.07.2016 I’m in a minor state of denial that my time in Berlin is running down to hours. As you read this, I’m sure you’ve experienced something similar. So, I’ll be brief. For me, I don’t handle endings well. Whether it’s turning the last page of a book or saying goodbye to someone, I never liked ...
