Cheers to London

The experience I have had spending my summer in London is one that I will never forget. It has literally been the time of my life and I can't believe it is already over. Reflecting on the past two months, there are so many memories I am taking home with me and memories that I honestly will cherish for the rest of my life. I have learned so much here and have really grown as a person. Through my internship and England's social scene I was really able to be immersed in a completely different culture and navigate my way through it on my own. It allowed me to exercise my independence and see how far I can go. I was able to travel to Dublin and Barcelona, which were absolutely amazing. It showed me what I can achieve on my own and how grown up I really am.

But more than anything, what I am going to take home with me are the friendships I have formed here. I am going to miss this city like none other, but my experience here wouldn't have been what it was without the people I shared it with. In such a short time, these girls have become my closest friends. We literally spent every single day together and through our travels and nights out together we have grown incredibly close. Whether it's the memory of our first and last dinner at The Crown, our trips to Dublin and Barcelona, a night out at Fabric, our night at Trafalgar Square- these are what I love and will miss most about this trip. It is crazy to me that London now feels like home, and I have to leave it behind. At this point in time, I honestly am so overwhelmed with how I feel, and it's hard to register that I am leaving. Saying goodbye to this city and my friends is so hard, and something I didn't expect. There is so much that can be said about this experience that I could literally go on for hours, but in the end all I can say is that this has been the time of my life and I wish it never had to come to a close.
