If you've ever had the pleasure to study abroad or are currently studying abroad, we all have had those similar thoughts that cross our mind. Deciding to study abroad has by far been one of the best experiences of my life and I'm pretty sure anyone else that's been would agree. When your peers or friends say it'll change your life, listen. They're not being cheesy, it's the truth. While indulging myself in another culture these are some thoughts that crossed my mind:
1. "I CANNOT believe I'm here. This isn't real life! How am I living in another country?!"
(Proceeds to hit friend like a little girl and squeal)
2. "Will people judge me if I'm not speaking their language?"
3. "Do I have down the street style here, because I do NOT want to look like an American and draw attention!"
4. "Did that guy really just stare at us for 5 minutes? How is that acceptable here? What a creep."
5. "I can't believe I get to travel to so many different countries in such a little time!!
Switzerland this week, oh hey Barcelona is next week and a 10 day island hopping spring break to Greece....my life is casual."
