This is the time of year when people are starting to hear back from their study abroad programs. With all the excitement around going abroad, you soon start to think of all the things you want to consider before you go abroad.

1. Did I pick the right country?

2. Should I start looking for fun things to do?

3. Calories don't count abroad, right?

4. How much should I pack?

5. Should I buy a new wardrobe there?

6. When’s the best time to buy my ticket?

7. Ugh, I have to look for an apartment in a new country?

8. Should I start planning out my other trips?

9. I wonder how hard my classes are going to be?

10. How many days am I going to be in class?

11. Maybe I should watch 'Taken' before I go?

12. Is pepper spray allowed overseas?

13. Maybe I should get a makeover while I'm there?

14. Should I aspire to go around Italy in a Vespa like Lizzie McGuire?

15. Where should I go for spring break?

16. What if I get mugged?

17. What if I miss my flight?

18. What if I lose my phone?

19. What if my professors hate Americans?

20. Are the boys going to be cute?

Even though you might stress out and overthink things, you will honestly have an amazing time full of new memories. If you're on the fence about studying abroad, just do it! When are you ever going to have the opportunity to move to another country for a while?

Since hearing back from the program I applied for in London, I am beyond excited for this next chapter of my life, even though I am nervous about moving to a new country for a year. Even though there are things that can go wrong, there are even more possibilities for things to go right.
