10 Reasons I'm Excited To Study Abroad This Summer

In This Article:

I knew from the beginning of college that I wanted to study abroad. I didn't know where I would go, how I would get there, or if I would even get the chance to do it! Luckily, I'm so fortunate to get the opportunity to go, and I've never been more excited in my life! Here are 10 reasons why I'm looking forward to getting out of the country this summer.

1. I get to travel across the world

Giphy

Traveling is something I love doing, and I haven't done as much as I would've liked to yet. Of course, I have the rest of my life too, and this is just the beginning!

2. I get to meet new people

Giphy

Not only do I get to travel with people from my school, but I also get to meet locals! I'm can't wait to share such a cool experience with so many people.

3. Accents

Giphy

I LOVE ACCENTS. Sorry not sorry, but it is one of the reasons that I have literally never been happier to leave the country.

4. I get to travel the new country and try not to get lost

Giphy

I am actually terrified of getting lost, but there's nothing that good ole Google Maps can't fix. Plus, if I do get lost, at least I'll have someone with me because I'm not going anywhere alone!

5. I get to explore other countries with my friends

Giphy

Since I'm going to London, that means that other countries are relatively close to me! I'm planning on going to France and possibly Belgium, and I couldn't be happier.

6. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity

Giphy

There's a chance I won't ever get to travel again. There's a chance I'll never get to study abroad again. There's a chance for everything, so I'm avoiding all bad possibilities, and taking the chance to do what I want to now!

7. I get to learn more about my major

Giphy

I'm ecstatic to learn more about what I'm getting myself into for my future jobs. I'll come back from London a new woman with a new understanding of journalism.

8. I'm going out of my comfort zone

Giphy

I mean this both literally and figuratively. I'm going to be in a foreign country, and I'm also going to be without my usual family and friends only minutes away from me. YIKES!

9. I get to try new food

Giphy

I'm so excited to eat food I'm not used to (even though I'll probably go to McDonalds at least once). Trying new food is easily one of my favorite things, and I can't wait to stuff my face!

10. I get to be independent

Giphy

As someone who isn't very independent, I plan on FLOURISHING in London. My independence will grow and I am so ready for it!

I can't contain my excitement at ALL.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
