This time I tried London Breakfast and was completely shocked. At how much it tasted like a horse stable. I know that sounds completely insane, but I grew up visiting my best friend at the stables when she used to ride, so I KNOW that smell. I don’t know what’s going on with this tea,Continue reading “12 Days of Tea – #5”

Song of the day: “Remember” by Liam Payne Today is the day I was supposed to fly home from London, and it feels very strange having already been back for weeks. It was a beautiful sunny day in Southern California, and even amidst this lockdown I found ways to enjoy it. My time abroad definitelyContinue reading “April 23rd”

Song during the horror: “This City” by Sam Fischer A lot can happen in 50 hours, especially if you’re awake the entire time. When I woke up on Monday the 16th at 8:30am to start my day I had no idea that I wouldn’t get to go back to sleep until 11:30pm on Tuesday theContinue reading “50 Hours”

The past few weeks have been absolutely insane with the pandemic outbreak of COVID-19; throughout this time, my trip to Italy for spring break was cancelled, everyone has been watching the case numbers rise from country to country and state to state, Chapman University main campus has been shut down and converted to online classes,Continue reading “Coronavirus”

By some crazy miracle, I was able to get tickets through an app here in London called TodayTix to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts One and Two! Tickets cost hundreds of pounds (like Hamilton) and all of a sudden the app opened up bundles to see both shows back to back forContinue reading “Cursed Child – Parts 1 & 2”

The fourth tea I’ve tried was the Irish Breakfast, and it’s been my least favorite. A dark brown color, it really just tasted like bitter black tea with an odd aftertaste. It was also extremely strong, so if I were to make it again I wouldn’t steep it as long. I did add milk toContinue reading “12 Days of Tea – #4”

I’ve been here just over a month, and have probably seen around a dozen shows already, both with and without my class. Living in London trying to mold into the culture has really shown me just how integral theatre is in everyone’s lives. New shows are opening left and right with advertisements everywhere, and peopleContinue reading “Theatre in London”

Two weekends ago the university took us to Edinburgh, Scotland, for the weekend! We took a train up early Friday morning, having to wake up at 4:30am to catch our train and arriving in the city around 11:20. It is absolute insanity trying to roll a small suitcase and backpack across cobblestone roads when there’sContinue reading “Edinburgh📍”

Some days it’s simply impossible not to be in good mood; I’m so lucky to have Nikki, Kallie, Katie, Luke, Chris and Xander with me in Flat 5. Hectic as heck, but I wouldn’t expect anything else from Panthers. ❤️🐾 “WeLcOmE tO fLaT 5!”

We toured St. Paul’s and went to the top! FOR FREE! My friend Charlie an her mom met a guy a year or so ago at a hotel in the States, and he told them he worked at St. Paul’s. When they found out they were both in London, he offered to give her andContinue reading “St. Paul’s Cathedral”
