Now that I've settled into my home-away-from-home of Islington, London, I've traded my local papers of The New York Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer for The Guardian and The Sun. So maybe these publications aren't entirely aligned with what a broke college student living in the United Kingdom is reading, but the London Evening Standard is handed to me on my commute to class right before my ride on the Underground. Typical American tabloid headlines are engraved in my head so I can't help but recognize just how similar our tabloid culture can be. Below find some top London headlines from the past week or so and their nearly American equivalents.

"Forget thigh gaps, the 'thighbrow' is the latest celebrity body trend" vs. "Are 'Thighbrows the New Thigh Gap?"

The United Kingdom may have literal royalty (Congrats Queen Elizabeth II on your amazing achievement as the longest reigning U.K. monarch, you go girl) but don't worry they still love the American royalty of the Kardashian/Jenner legacy too. Even with a 3,716-mile ocean between the two territories, you can still find print space to hear about them.

"Roberta Vinci stuns Serena Williams to reach US Open Final" vs. "Serena Williams upset by Roberta Vinci in US Open Semis"

Here we have it folks, another great example of how diction and tone really tell it all. An American publication morns the loss with our dear Serena, but in the EU we glorify this triumph. They do say 'May the best (wo)man win' so maybe we should just face the music and move on.

"Heartbreaking pictures of fox cub who spent the night stuck in van wheel" vs. "This Pup Makes Riding A Mechanical Bull Look Easy"

Simply because we can't get enough of adorable animals just looking adorable. Between every hard hitting headline, or soft hitting headline, animals just fine themselves in their own category. They can look sad, happy, injured, silly, it doesn't matter. We still want to see them up close and personal.

"Londoners' rescue mission after man's head gets stuck in Tube door" vs. "Major Service Changes in Effect After G Train Derails in Brooklyn, Injuring 3"

Ah, public transit. Will it ever have it all together? Will we ever not complain or fear with the transportation system of the city we currently live in? Maybe. You always want what you can't have though...
