At most colleges, only a fraction of the student body studies abroad. Whether it's due to expenses, homesickness or serious FOMO, college kids don't want to leave their college bubble. If you talk to someone that has studied abroad, they'll tell you it was the best decision they have ever made. That sounds like something to take part in.

So, if you still have time in your busy years left at your university, look into going abroad. Maybe with a few friends, maybe alone. Regardless, you won't regret it. As someone who has never been out of the country, I can promise you what I'll do when I head overseas. And a few things I'll miss.

1. I'll Be Independent

Despite the decent amount of homesickness I'll have for my family, it won't take away from the fact that I'm surviving by myself in a different country. And that's an awesome feeling.

2. I Will Eat A Lot

French food, Italian food, Spanish food. You name it; I'll eat it.

3. I'll Travel While Traveling

Best part about Europe? (or really anywhere you go) Everything is so close and on the journey, I will definitely have a glass of wine to pass the time.

4. I Won't Take Too Many Photos

I want to enjoy the moment. Not focus on getting the right shot in front of a building or at a meal. Instagram can hold off on my post.

5. But I Will Take Some

But I'll take pictures. So I can remember everything.

6. I'll Talk to People

There is history everywhere. Being a part of that history will be an experience unparalleled.

8. I Will Spend My Money Well

My bank account will drain. But it will be the best cash I've ever spent.

9. I'll Be Inspired

I'm not a painter or a singer or a musician, but I am a writer. And I can imagine that what I'll see will inspire some crazy words.

10. I'll Be Disconnected

I'll put my phone down a lot. I won't snapchat or live tweet my day. I will be immersed in the moment.

11. I'll Take Risks

And do things I've never done before.

12. I'll Learn

It's not all fun and games, but it will be more interesting. The knowledge I want to gain and I'll receive will be endless.

13. I'll Appreciate My University

And the new country I am living in.

14. I Will Come Back With Stories

That people will probably get tired of hearing, but I don't care at all.

15. I'll Have a Life-changing Experience

It will be one of the most amazing trips of my life and I am so blessed to have this opportunity. I won't take it for granted — how could I?
