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 […]

The British Broadcasting Corporation
It seems as though no matter what your interests are there is something that comes out of the British Broadcasting Corporation that is right for you. The 2006 BBC facility addition, Quay House, exemplifies this sentiment. Whether you are interested in seeing how the world’s largest public broadcasting corporation is innovating to use modern technologies, […]
Day 2: Am I Allowed to Transfer a Second Time?
This morning, we made our way to Regents University. A beautiful campus in London, that you wouldn’t even guess was there. To start off this trip, we met with Jason Makenzie, who gave us an overview of the media landscape in the UK. Jason was a very interesting man and allowed us to have a […]
Day 10: On the Fringe… Festival
Waking up in Edinburgh was awesome. The old city’s architecture was so incredible but we had our last media day to take care of with a marketing director of the Fringe Festival. The Fringe Festival is one of the largest festival in the world and occurs 250 times across the world. Olly Davis came to […]
Happy Mums Day
It’s Mother’s Day and I’m sadly not with my mom. As much as I wish she could be here in Liverpool with me, I know she’s happy just seeing me enjoying my time here. Today is the Beatles Tour that a lot of us have been looking forward too. We spent the morning getting to […]
Edin-Bruh!
I’ve been looking forward to going to Edinburgh for a very long time so I was irritated when I woke up and still felt like the Walking Dead. With the right amount of medication I thought I’d be able to enjoy the day, but not the flight. The flight was terrible on my sinuses and […]
I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it
We got an early start to the morning today with a walking tour of Stratford and some key places related to William Shakespeare. I love Stratford and would move here within a heartbeat. It is exactly what you picture a little stereotypical old English town to be. I’m not a huge Shakespeare person but obviously […]
Something Rotten in the State of my Sinuses
I’d start this post with a witty Shakespeare quote/pun but that would require me to do more research than I am currently willing to do to make the joke any good. Instead I will just say that the best part of the Shakespeare tour was seeing the Royal Shakespeare Company. They have several different buildings […]
Spiderman: Homecoming
Today was a sad, sad day. Today marked the end of our journey across the United Kingdom, or as I like to call it, Great Britain. We had an early meeting time for our flight, but I had to stay up until 5:00 am for the release of Tyler, The Creator’s new album, IGOR. I […]
Day 1: Keep Calm and Carry On
I arrived at the airport at about 6:30, said goodbye to my mom and waited. I was really excited, my first trip to the UK, a place I’ve always wanted to go. When we get off the plane and we had finally arrived. The whole group was exhausted, but we had a great first day […]
