My time in London so far has been nothing short of amazing.

The Tube.

London's public transportation system is one of the most extensive in the world, and they make it easy to navigate. I've been here a week and I'm already comfortable traveling around the city on my own.

Fiel Trips.

GUYS! I've never been to so many amazing places in my life, It's only been one week!

Friendships.

I've met some awesome people on this trip. You'll never be able to convince me that they've been at USF this entire time.​

Gardens.

Comedy Shows

I missed the shows in both Tampa and Orlando, I ended up catching it IN LONDON. It was awesome, I laughed so hard I cried.

Churches.

Imagine all of your favorite specialty thrift stores in one place, that's how great this place was, but better.

This cheeky guy just scared the pants off of a tourists, much to his amusement.

I could stay in this country for a month and not see all the amazing things here. Sunday I spent 5 hours walking around Hampton Court Palace. There's so much more I want to see and I only have 3 weeks left!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
