Thursday, May 16, 2019 Im glad that our last day was free and I’m even more glad I took the day to explore by myself. All I really did was walk around, but it was just so beautiful. Being a Harry Potter nerd, I headed over to Greyfriars Kirkyard. There I was able to see […]

Day 10: Fringe and Obscurities!
Wednesday, May 15, 2019 Today was our last day of media visits! It was very bitter sweet. While I loved getting to listen to people who work in the creative field and I did learn a lot, I was very happy that I didn’t need to dress business casual anymore. I just really hate dress […]
Day 9: First Day of Scotland!
Tuesday, May 14, 2019 Tuesday morning it was back on a plane for our class. This time, however, we would be heading to Scotland! Scotland is easily the prettiest place I have ever been. When I walked outside I felt like the painter, Bob Ross, had painted a giant backdrop and God was just dangling […]
Day 8: MediaCityUK!
Monday, May 13, 2019 Today we got in the bus and headed to Manchester to visit MediaCity. MediaCity is an international hub for technology and creativity.

Day 7: Liverpool is in My Ears and in my Eyes
Sunday, May 12, 2019. Today was a dream come true, really. My family is really into music and I have been listening to The Beatles for longer than I can remember. Now, I am in Liverpool where music history was made! The morning was free, so I took that time to sleep and visit a […]
Day 6: A Day of Shakespeare in Stratford-Upon-Avon
Saturday May 11, 2019 I was so excited when I found out this trip included a Shakespeare tour I was so excited and the day finally came! It was supposed to be pouring rain for our entire tour, but instead it was one of the most beautiful days we have had on this trip. We […]
Day 5: Goodbye London, Hello Windsor and Stratford-Upon-Avon
Friday, May 10, 2019 London was great, but moving to the next part of my adventure was so exciting. I was pretty tired (shocker I know) from celebrating Anna’s birthday, so the bus ride was a great time for me to take a nap. Windsor is such a charming area. It has cobblestone roads and […]
Day 4: Hearst, Trafalgar Square, and Abbey Road!
Thursday, May 9, 2019 Yet another crazy busy day. Are you shocked? We started the day with easily the coolest media visit yet at Hearst. Hearst is a magazine publisher that puts out magazines like Elle, Cosmopolitan, and Country Living. Again, they had a beautiful spread set up for us as well as magazines we […]
Day 3: Media Visits and Oxford Street
Wednesday, May 8, 2019 I’m going to apologize in advance for my lack of pictures today. I don’t know what it is about London, but every place we visit has amazing hospitality. Today, we visited Battenhall and Burson, Cohn & Wolfe and both places had beautiful spreads with breakfast pastries, fruit, juices, and water. They […]
Day 2: First Media Visit and Exploring
Tuesday, May 7, 2019 I was so dead when Wednesday morning. The class got up super early because we had our first lecture! We went to Regents University to hear Jason Mackenzie talking about media in the UK. The University was GORGEOUS. The gardens were filled with different colored flowers and the building were tall and […]
