If you’re anything like me, and "tbh," you probably are because I’m pretty basic, trying to decide where to go abroad is driving you more insane than not getting the right lighting on your sushi Instagram.
Which cities are the most English friendly?
Just because I’m required to take a Spanish class, that doesn’t mean I’m going to know how to actually speak the language. I may be studying abroad, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’m studying abroad.
Do I actually have to keep people updated on my life?
Sure, I’ll promise everyone to “stay in touch” when it’s eventually time for me to venture off, but I think the only time I actually meant it was signing yearbooks in middle school so I could have the most letters on my bed in camp. HAGS!
Where are those, whom I do not particularly enjoy, planning to go?
I’ll tolerate the forced stop and chats and fake smiles solely on U.S. soil. And unlike my cellular data plan, this policy covers Puerto Rico.
Will sweater weather last the whole time I’m there?
Just trying to think of ways to hide my soon to be six-pack of fat rolls.
What am I supposed to do if none of the letters of my name are in the I AM Amsterdam sign?
Skinny app the N to an H?
Where’s the easiest conversion rate?
This is the closest thing to math I’ll be doing since that math class I was required to take freshman year. If it’s not America, can they still accept American Express?
What’s the angle I’m going for on my Instagrams?
Exotic, I’ll go to Australia or Africa; appetizing, somewhere in Italy; cultured, I’d do Madrid; and Israel for religious. If I want my followers to be concerned for my well being, I’ll go to Barcelona; and if I want them constantly questioning what state of mind I’m in, I’ll go to Copenhagen.
Where can I get the most creative Facebook album name?
If I go to Prague, do I have to incorporate the “check” emoji?
How much am I really trying to broaden my horizons here?
Realistically, the closest thing to “making new friends” will probably be meeting a camp friend’s school friend’s home friend, which doesn’t even really count because we’ve been friends on Facebook since 2008 when I met them at someone’s bar mitzvah.
How realistic are the Mary Kate and Ashley movies? Lizzie McGuire Movie?
I’m just trying to find love in a shameful hopeless place.
How realistic is "Taken?"
Dad, I love you and you're great, but an M.D. doesn’t provide you with the set of skills we’re looking for to locate me in the great depths of Europe.
