Hello bloggers and friends!
So following in the footsteps of my comrades I will be blogging the awesomeness of living abroad and hopefully meeting up with all my old friends and hopefully some new ones. So to acclimate you to where I am, where I'm going, and who I am here is the brilliant first post!
To start off my name is Kara. I'm 20 years old, originally from Chico, California I go to school at the University of California at Santa Barbara and will be heading over to the University of York across the pond in October. Double majoring in Accounting and History I have a LOT of interests that i'm not going to list out because that's pretty damn boring. If you keep reading you'll find out more, i promise.
And as a final note regarding my blog title: The White Rose of York. Since I love history and i'm going to York I thought it would be fitting to use a title that tilts its hat to that. So here is your historical lesson of the day: In the 15th century civil war tore through England in what is now known as the War of the Roses between the houses of York (the white rose) and Lancaster (the red rose) The outcome brought the distant Lancastrian relative Henry Tudor to the thrown and the succession of famous monarchs like Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. So there is the history behind my title, i hope you've been sufficiently educated and bored :)
see you all next time...cheers!
About Me

- I'm just your average university student. A Northern Californian born and bred who moved down south to attend the University of California, Santa Barbara and no sooner found herself relocating again for a year of fun and adventure (and maybe a bit of learning) across the pond in jolly ol' England at the University of York. I study business economics with an emphasis in accounting as well as history leaning towards modern Britain and America.
