For many, living overseas sounds like the plot of a daydream. One that would be nice to do, but probably will never happen. That used to be me. I would sit in my class and dream up what it would be like to be immersed into a new culture, meeting new people everyday, and exploring a whole new world. I would get chills when I would think about it. Then one day, I realized that this dream could become a reality. I never thought that my joking of wanting to run away to Europe would ever come true, but here I am. Soon I’ll be getting off of an airplane, stepping onto new territory, without my family, friends, or anything familiar. In this blog, I’ll be sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly that accompanies my exchange. Together, we can see what it really feels like to be under pressure.
