With only a week left here at Oxford, I can say for certain that this has been the most incredible experience. It is such an indescribable feeling to know that I am taking classes in the same rooms as many other brilliant learners that have come before me, and that many more will follow. My classes have pushed my thinking in new ways, as well as taught me to be a deeper thinker and a better researcher. Oxford is a place that makes me feel incredibly blessed to have the privilege of an education and to be able to learn as much as I want. One of my favorite things to do here is explore all of the libraries, so I try to go study in a new library each time. As a Harry Potter fan, it is also very cool to see the exact places in the libraries and around the city where parts of the movies were filmed!
There is always something to do in Oxford, whether that is trying new food places, going shopping, or even just taking a walk around the beautiful city. For me, Oxford is the perfect size for a city to study in: big enough that I am never bored, but small enough where I have gotten to know it very well over the course of this month. I know that Oxford will have a special place in my heart for the rest of my life. It makes me feel like I am part of something much bigger than myself: a history of learners that started long before me and will continue long after I am gone.
