Study Abroad: Envy? Ain't nobody got time for that.

If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

I am not going to sit up here and lie to those reading... I am anxious as hell about going abroad! Although I am busy preparing for finals as well, I am counting the days until I leave (which are not a lot tbh T^T). To document my experiences going away I am going to try to discipline myself when it comes to blogging. I have also decided to make vlogs, (which will probably not go public for everyone to see though,) and this I believe will be the most difficult part to get used to! But having looked around on the Internet, I have not found many blogs that have detailed journals of people's experiences living abroad for school or work. And especially not about where I am going... I did not want to reveal where I am going until actually being there (I am paranoia like that sometimes), but I thought blogging about it would give me the opportunity to get to know people from there (or know about it). So without further ado, spilling the beans right here right now, in one month I will be leaving for..... Toronto, Canada!

Study Abroad: Schoolin' life

If you're gonna brag make sure it's your money you flaunt. Depend on no one else to give you what you want.

Blogging can be very addictive, and looking at my posting frequency I do not come off as a fiend. But do not get easily fooled, I just have my priorities straight. Writing is my hobby, but not my main concern at this moment. I am working my behind off for my career, and going to university unfortunately takes up a lot of your time! And that is how come I do not blog very often. It is not at all because I have forgotten about it. Very soon, when exams have passed and summer has began, I will be posting about my adventure going abroad. I am very excited about the new environment in which I will be maneuvering, although I am not entirely sure what to expect. I am not too enthusiastic though about my 'costing way too many hours'-flight. Also, it will take some adjustment not being able to run home or immediately call my confidants whenever I need advice. Nonetheless, I would not trade this opportunity in for the world, and I am determined to make the best out it!

Please comment below if you have ever gone abroad for work or study (or have even migrated) and have any tips or advice for me (and others) about coping with both a culture shock and home sickness! Any other comment is obviously also welcomed by me ^^. Thank you for reading and leave your blog address behind if you want me to check it out!
