Studying abroad is one of the most eyeopening and scary experiences you can go through. Letting go of all that you have become accustomed to and what you have grown up with can be scary, but it is such a beautiful experience that everyone should have at least once in their life. Once you choose a place to travel to, your mind starts to go everywhere. You get a whirlwind of emotions, and they seem to take over. Here are just some of the phases you go through when studying abroad.

1. Picking a place to go.

2. Packing your entire closet because you are going to be gone for months.

3. Stressing and regretting your decision to leave because you think you'll miss out.

4. Facing reality and leaving the country.

5. Getting to a new country and missing life back home.

6. But after a couple of weeks, you do not ever want to go home.

7. Looking at your bank account and seeing how close you are to being broke.

8. Realizing it's time to go home and going back super cultured.

Even though it may be scary and different from your everyday routine, I highly recommend that you study abroad if you can. Exploring new countries and meeting new people is a priceless experience.
