Finally 21 years old! Over the weekend of February 19th-23rd in I was scheduled to go to London with all my friends and we were going to celebrate my birthday. I got to the airport with my friend Haley and I was having technical difficulties and our airline’s employees had already packed up and went home. So after being told several different places to go I missed my flight. While I was talking to the agent, Haley called me to tell me that the plane door closed and no one else was on it. So separately all my other best friends missed the flight too. So we bought new flights for 7 am went to the liquor store and killed a bottle of Vodka before we passed out for an hour nap to then get up and go back to the airport early of course.
We woke up around 3:30 am and all got in a cab with 4 liters of mimosas. This time we made our flight.
We got out to London and it reminded me so much of the East coast. It was foggy and slightly cold. And they speak ENGLISH there!!!! It was a nice break for awhile. We got to the hostel and then met Jenn our friend from CU who is studying there. It was so nice having her there because she was the best tour guide!
She brought us to this pho place. We then walked around, went shopping for a bit and then to the London Eye, which was amazing. We went to a really new club that night and met some girls from London. I have no idea how we figured out the bus system to get home but it was a successful day for sure!
Friday we went to Harrods, an insanely huge departmemt store, and shopped around in London. We saw the Queen’s Palace and walked around to sight see. This night we went to Fabric, which is a club that is 7 rooms I believe and they are different themes. It was actually so cool.

The next day we went to Kensigton Palace and walked around the gardens there. We then went to the 9 ¾ Harry Potter Metro stop.
