Go Overseas!

Within a matter of days of writing reviews of my study abroad program, I was contacted by one of the websites for an interview. You can read more about my experience abroad and my advice to others here.

Always There

It's always there. In the back of my mind. Moreso, lately, as the semester picks up.

Of course it's there. Obviously, it is clouding my mind. Who could forget the best four months of their life?

Regardless of where I turn, I am reminded of my semester abroad. The pictures that hang in my room. The transcripts that have just now arrived at my home university. The friends I swear I see on campus everyday. Oh, and my sad attempts at cooking Spanish meals.

"Want to go for a walk?" Route One does not compare to the Mediterranean.
"Want to grab a snack?" What did I ever see in this after eating at Masa de Tomasa?
"Want to get away for the weekend?" Gaithersburg is nothing compared to Madrid, Rome, or Paris.

I left thinking that a semester would be too long. I came back realizing it was not enough.

I missed my friends and family, my classes, even my bed. I am glad to be back experiencing my old life. But I miss my "new" life. The life I created when I didn't even know myself.

I am thankful for the friends I met, the things I discovered, and the memories I made.

Perhaps one day, I'll return. It will always be there...
