Haunted Edinburgh: A Ghostly Tour

On May 16, the last day in Scotland and of the trip, the entire group embarked on a ghost tour. At this point, it is safe to say that some were feeling relieved at the thought that we would be home in 24 hours, some were feeling upset at having to say goodbye to this […]

Day 10: Take a Picture, It’ll Last Longer

After meeting so many professionals currently working in the media industry in the UK, today was the day we embarked on our final two visits of the trip. The first of the visits was with Ollie Davis from the Fringe Society. I found this visit to be very interesting because I learned just how hard […]

Day 4: The Devil Wears Prada

This was by the fair the coolest agency we visited so far. I cannot get over how hospitable and kind the hosts were to take the time out of their work day to speak to us about their everyday job functions and how to succeed in a career in fashion and/or media. Considering I have […]
