13 Things I Want To Do While Studying Abroad in Denmark

In just a few short weeks, I will be going on my first trip...by myself. I have a lot of mixed emotions with this. For one, I'm a little scared to be travelling abroad without knowing what the city will be like (and also not knowing a single soul), but I'm also very excited to embark on this new adventure that will definitely get me out of my comfort zone. Since this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, I want to make the best of this trip and live life to the fullest while I'm there. Here are some things I have on my bucket list to make this goal of mine come true:

1. View the city by bike. 

Biking is the main form of transportation in the city, so what better way to explore than the way of a local?

2. Visit all the different districts. 

From Christianshavn (canals and gabled houses) to Vesterbro (trendy bars and stores), I want to see it all!

3. Eat at one VERY nice restaurant. 

Copenhagen is known for its food and world-renowned chefs, so I want to be able to experience it. (But only once because it will be super expensive!)

4. Visit a museum or famous landmark to learn all about Danish culture. 

I know this sounds pretty boring at first glance, but having the chance to visit Rosenborg castle, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, or Christianborg Palace ruins sounds like an opportunity I don't want to miss!

5. Spend one night out at a local bar or club. 

Staying out late at night is very popular among locals in the city, and I know this is something I'm not going to want to do every night, but I think it would be fun to explore the city when everyone is awake!

6. Shop at Nørrebro Flea Market. 

Because I love to shop.. and flea markets are so fun!

7. Eat street food. 

From hotdogs to sausages to sandwiches, I think I'll be eating pretty good while I'm there.

8. Climb Tarnet tower. 

Not only is this free, but it's a great way to see a birds-eye view of the city.

9. Visit Tivoli Gardens. 

This is the second oldest amusement park in the world, and would be so much fun to see in the afternoon.

10. Have a conversation with a local. 

I love to meet new people, and since the Danish are considered to be the friendliest people in the world, there's really nothing to lose.

11. Jump on a street trampoline. 

No explanation necessary.

12. Eat a churro. 

These are so famous in the city, and since I love churros, why not?

13. Try a new-to-me alcoholic drink. 

Since the legal drinking age is 18, it will be a lot of fun to try a new drink every once in a while.

Even though I'm very nervous about the whole "school" part of the study abroad (and making friends), I'm excited about everything the city has to offer! I hope these next three weeks before I leave FLY by!!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
