I am currently sitting at my gate waiting for my plane to take off as I write this. I am so emotional. I have no words to describe this trip. It is everything I hoped for and more. The experiences had and the relationships forged are things I will forever be grateful for. This was …

And He Did it in a Dress
Harry Styles was the only obvious choice for this assignment. He is an icon, a legend, and he is the moment. Harry Styles is actually not who I expected to see as soon as I walked into the National Portrait Gallery, but I am glad I did. It was very cool to see a celebrity …
Good Eats and Lots of Sweet Treats
I love a good farmers’ market trip, so the markets in London were an absolute dream! There was more food than I could have ever imagined. My personal favorite markets were Burrow and Spindal. Burrow Market is the one everyone hears about. It is the iconic London market. The thing I was most excited to …
They Have More Willpower Than Me…
Standing in Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre replica was such an experience. I did not realize how much I hate standing up. I hate it. A lot. Despite my being lazy and not wanting to stand for two hours, both plays were incredible. Though when you go next year, I highly recommend you stay away from a …
Kanye West(minster Abbey)
I have no clue what the title means. I just kind of wrote it down. Anyway, I loved Westminster Abbey. When I went to London two years ago, I did not get the chance to see it, so I am so happy this was on our travel plan! When I initially walked in, I just …
I Sat With Kailee….
Mother Courage seems to be a crowd favorite on this trip. I agree, I think it was beautifully put together and a great show, at least the part I watched. After the intermission fiasco, poor Kailee, I volunteered to sit with her in the seats. I do not know what happened, but I did start …
Fringe More Like Fall Asleep (Shawn, this is not a joke)
My fringe play was The Lady in the Van. Oh boy. It was something. I think this was probably the worst play I have seen on this trip. I am not usually one to hate on any form of theatre, but I genuinely could not stay awake for this show, and I drank a RedBull …

Ew take a Bath
Bath was such a beautiful city to visit. It was definitely one of my favorite excursions of the trip. Having tea in London is already such a cool experience, but to have it in Bath in the same room as Jane Austin was just something that I will never get over. The tea and scones …
Voldemort Can Pull Off A Suit
At the Theatre Royal Haymarket, Grace Pervades felt like both a history lesson and a love letter to theatre itself. As a person who grew up in the arts, I could appreciate every aspect of that play. They had comedic theatrical references, a dancer, painters, beautiful lighting/staging, and so much more. This play is by …
I Love Horses
My image is about the play War Horse. This play stuck out to me because of the emotion I felt while watching it. The image I chose directly reflects the two main horses, Joey and Topthorn. This painting is a beautiful reflection of the two of them and how they both had to put aside …
