Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Miscellaneous

When we were preparing to set off on this great adventure everyone told us, “don’t be afraid to go off on your own if you need alone time.” The person I was before this semester thought that it would be fine to go off but that I probably wouldn’t need to, but boy was I…

Slightly Lost in London

Miscellaneous

    England has been filled with fish and chips, good sandwiches and going out to eat a lot in general. I’m not complaining in any way, I’m a big fan of food, but the other night I was feeling pretty sluggish. I decided I should go for a run, and actually followed through with it….

Adopting Anish

Miscellaneous

The FSA squad has grown very close over the past month or so. Traveling abroad for the beginning of our college experience has been a very unique experience and has created a strong bond between our small group of 13 young adults. In a majority of ways this closeness has been a very positive thing,…

The Fisherman’s Friends

Miscellaneous

Seeing the Fisherman’s Friends performance was an incredible look into the community of Port Isaac’s. Staying in such an idyllic seaside village was breathtaking in many ways: whether it was the striking landscape, or the picturesque cows grazing freely in the perfectly green fields. Staying somewhere can give you insight to many aspects of a…

The Crazy Cast Party

Miscellaneous

Its about 12:00 and my phone starts ringing, its Will. “What could he possibly want right now”, I think to myself, as I’m about to head to my room and go to bed. Begrudgingly, I answer and immediately I know that I’m not going to bed any time soon. The crazy news I received from…

Cheers, London

Miscellaneous

I’ve been sitting here staring at this blank screen for the last 15 minutes, occasionally skipping a song on my iTunes, (im)patiently waiting to be inspired. Trying to describe the experience of London is much harder than I anticipated so I won’t try and do it all at once. Instead, I’ll embrace my 21st century…

Exulansis and words

Miscellaneous

Exulansis n. the tendency to give up trying to talk about an experience because people are unable to relate to it- whether through envy or pity or simple foreignness- which allows it to drift away from the rest of your life story, until the memory itself feels out of place, almost mythical, wandering restlessly in…

A Culture of Street Musicians

Miscellaneous

There are many odd things that one sees when wandering the streets of London. There are shops that you won’t find in the States, a wide assortment of people, restaurants to satisfy every sort of craving, and street musicians. Lots and lots of street musicians. You can’t walk down Oxford Street without hearing some type…

Running Rampantly in Regents

Miscellaneous

One day in class we were deep into the discussion of The Importance of Being Earnest when randomly, the thought of the dreaded freshmen 15 crossed my mind. I was immediately nervous about the famed fact and decided to run later in the afternoon. After class, I skipped art galleries and the general tom foolery…

Down The Rabbit Hole.

Miscellaneous

During my time in Oxford I had a brush with death. I saw my entire life flash before my eyes and for a second I thought I was meeting my demise. Eighteen years isn’t a bad run on this earth statistically speaking, right? Alright, I may be over exaggerating things a little bit. The fact…
