“Four months will fly by. Stay out late, wake up early, walk everywhere (you learn cities better that way) keep close to friends you’re traveling with, and your passport closer. Take every single opportunity you get to experience something you’d never get to do again. Go on that trip that’s a little too expensive that …
I just said goodbye to one of my closest friends here. And it was hard. Just as hard as it was to leave my friends back home. I guess that’s the downside to study abroad. You only get a short frame of time to become best friends with the people you meet, but eventually you …
