My favorite part of studying abroad in London has been all the theatre that we have watched. In the three weeks we spent here I have seen 14 plays and each of those in some element have been some of the most impressive shows I have ever seen. Life of Pi had the best use …

How many times is “mac & cheese” written in this post??
I would love to tell you that I branched out so widely during this trip, but I haven’t. I have had Five Guys on five separate occasions, Slim chickens twice, and I think I have a medical condition where my body instinctively forces me to involuntarily walk to anyplace that sells pasta. I have had …

Girl Power, love girls, bras!! (V&A)
I have been so fascinated by all the museums we have gone to and while the Victoria & Albert Museum wasn’t my favorite as a whole, the theatre related wing of the museum was one of my favorite exhibits to get lost in. At first, when I walked through the ballet/dance portion I was worried …
Food!
The Scene: We are about the see Girl on an Alter. We have time but not very much. There is food all around, but I cannot seem to find anything appealing. The group that I usually hang out with sees a Shawarma place. My heart drops. I have the palette of a 12-year-old. We …
Food and Drink
The stereotype is that British food is disgusting at worst and bland at best. While it might be harder to find spicier food here than in the States, it’s pretty flavorful.

I have always been in love with musical theatre. I started singing in the first grade in front of my class during every show and tell day—instead of bringing something like everyone else. A fact that truly gives insight as to who I would grow up to be; the obnoxious, show tune obsessed, passionate girl …
Fringe Theater
I saw many shows over the course of this trip, I think the final count will be around 15. The level design and production of those shows varied from simple plays to speaker blasting musicals. One of the show that I watched was Lift. It was a show from fringe theater, a performance that has …
The Roman Baths
I was unable to attend the group on their journey to Bath. I was still very sick as I had only first started having symptoms 5 days before. This bummed me out immensely because visiting the Roman Baths was one of my top things that I was excited to do. So needless to say, I …
The Glass Menagerie
The Glass Menagerie a play that I have read many times but never seen a production of until recently at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London. I have read this play multiple times and discussed it in a few of my classes, it was interesting to finally see it performed on stage. I have …
