What are you most excited for during your study abroad semester?
I am definitely most excited to travel and explore while I am abroad. I want to go to as many places and see as many things as I can while on this once in a lifetime experience! I also look forward to having a complete change in my regular school routine that involves doing all of these fun things as well as studying and working at my internship.
