Well its official, my study abroad is over. Although I am still “abroad” I can still tell that something significant to my life has ended. I am no longer down the hall from my friends, no longer above the little coffee shop, and no longer in (surprisingly) sunny London. This has been a wide ride…

Dear Nicole from the past, You are not going to believe how much London will change you. First of all… YOU ARE IN LONDON. This is such an amazing and unique experience you may never get again! Live up every moment. When the sun is out, please go outside. It doesn’t happen often and only…

Wow! I cannot believe I’ve been in London for TWO weeks. It feels like yesterday my plane landed across the pond. I’ve already seen so much and yet I still have so much to explore. Everyone told me London was a global city, but I did not realize how serious they were. Living near New…
