I'll study abroad!
It's finally official, next September I will be an exchange student, and I'll spend 6 months in another country without knowing anyone there. I'm afraid lol.
I'm excited, of course; It's an opportunity to meet new people (god knows I need help with that), and have a taste of what it's like living alone. Of course, studying and doing chores and just, living, I guess.
But I'm also scared. I've seen that even just rooms are very expensive to rent, and i don't have that kind of money. I'll start working until i leave, but I don't know how the renting, food, clothes, and all that will go. Stay tuned, I suppose!
Also, the place I'll go is a small city in the Netherlands, but it's actually closer to Germany than to anything else in the country, lol. It's called Enschede, and it's beautiful. Look!
I'm not used to snow or cold, and i'll go during winter. I've never been to a place with temperatures below 0 degrees! Help lol.
I've been told that the university where I'll go is kinda disorganized, but I've discovered that in this uni and this city they take good care of exchange students. They have an Instagram Account dedicated to informing people of new activities and stuff to do, and I think that's amazing! One example is a post about how if you stay during Christmas, they have “Winter Buddies” to enjoy doing stuff with, like going ice skating. How adorable is that?
Honestly, as long as i figure out my money/renting/food issue, I know I will have a great time. Plus, it's only 2 and a half hours away from Amsterdam by train, I will go there on the weekends If I don't have anything better to do lol. I have six months to do whatever I want! (Well, not whatever, you know what i mean).
I want to go there now, I'm excited. Wish me luck!
