Just hold on.  \nIt’ll come.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n1  \nDon’t Be Infatuated by a British Accent—Adelaide  \nI hated remaining sedentary. Sitting in a lecture hall in Boston, staring out a window at falling leaves and then soon enough, dreaded snow, sounded whimsical and did indeed set an academic scene similar to Dead Poets Society (minus the dead part) . But it wasn’t England.  \nDon’t get me wrong, if you wanted to live somewhere where the seasons turned as they did in London, and exist in an area that had that old, vintage feeling of Cambridge, then Cambridge, Massachusetts (a Boston suburb) was the place to go to college. But when you lived in the area your whole life, it started to feel old. And not in the Shakespearean way.  \nHence why I practically tripped up the stairs in the business building on my way to my Global Marketing exam in April. A window-sized cork board with a neon pink flyer made me pause. In big bold letters with an image of Big Ben behind it, it read:  \nSTUDY ABROAD OPPORTUNITY: EXPLORE LONDON AND RECEIVE CREDIT.  \nI met with my advisor the next day and applied. One month later, they either made a mistake or really enjoyed my essay on London’s fashion, because I was accepted.  \nSenior Year. In London.  \nI screamed with excitement until my throat burned. Almost even sent my roommate into cardiac arrest—the poor thing was already a computer science major, she had enough to be on edge about.  \nJune came and I was boarding a cramped flight to London Heathrow to study marketing at one of the most prestigious colleges in the world: Townsen University. My back was as stiff as a board, the airplane chicken was cold, and I regretted not packing my sixth black skirt. But none of it really mattered because I was going to London.  \nThe London from The Holiday and Harry Potter. The home of tea and scones. An epicenter for fashion week twice a year.  \nFast-forward to now—the end of August—where I was wishing I could go back to the day I landed in Heathrow in June, taking a black cab to my flat, to do it all over again. It kickstarted a summer with my two new roommates, Sabrina and Mia, exploring the city, staying up late eating British sweets, and divulging every secret.  \nMia, a journalism major from Washington who hated to be out of bed before 10 a.m. and gave every emotion away with her eyes, walked beside me with an arm looped around my elbow. She was a woman on a mission, directing us toward a club that may or may not be the site of our future death.  \n“It’s safe! One of the Townsen students posted about it!” she defended herself but still tightened her grip on her purse. “I’m not turning this opportunity down—invite-only—do you hear me?”  \n“I’m pretty sure cults are invite-only too.” I narrowed my eyes. If Sabrina was here right now, she would’ve agreed.
