What are you most excited for during your study abroad semester?
I am most excited to see a part of the world that many never get to. I’ve never lived in another country for a considerable amount of time so I’m looking forward to experiencing something completely out of my comfort zone. I’m excited to put myself in unfamiliar places and learn more about the world, and in turn, more about myself.
