This semester
will be full of so many new things. I am psyched for the beautiful sights, the
new people, and the diverse experiences. I definitely have high expectations
for what is to come in these next few months; I just have no idea what precisely
they will entail and even more what I will learn.
Why exactly
did I decide to go to Germany for a semester? Hmmm… I would say it’s a conglomeration
of a few things. I studied the German language and culture in high school,
sparking my interest to travel; since then, it has been my goal to observe it
for myself. So now, a year and a half later, I’ll be able to put some of my
German words to use. I want to challenge myself to do things outside of my
comfort zone, changing my sense of normal.
Mostly, I want to see something new. College is such a pivotal time for growing
and learning, and I think this opportunity is a chance to do just that. (Also,
when else will I be able to move to Europe for a few months?)
I hope this
trip will shape my outlook—affecting how I appreciate different ways of life
and interact with people. I am also anticipating traveling to many different
new countries and cities!
Should I be
nervous? Because I am really not. Unsure of what to expect and feeling a bit unprepared,
but not nervous.
So here’s to
trying new things, unforeseen adventures, and hopefully getting quicker at
writing blog posts.
