I've had a rough past semester. Three of my house mates turned out to be horrible people. I won't go into the specifics, but let's just say we had a difference of opinion in many ways. They are the people who gave me the strength to do this. In a weird way, I thank them for being cruel and misleading. Through my disdain for them I was given the ability to forge through and do something I need. Furthermore, I recently became single after being in a two year relationship. It was really hard at first, because even though I knew it would happen, I was still unprepared for the change. But I'm okay now. Things will work out and I'm excited to be on my own and do things for myself. A change of scenery and a semester of enjoyment is what I deserve. I have worked incredibly hard for the past two and a half years as a cell and molecular biology student. I try to do well in school and study for hours to get good grades. Although I enjoy biology, I have other passions as well. I hope to be able to live them out this semester.
I am sorry to those I will leave behind, both old and new friends. It's rather cruel that this past semester would be the one that I discovered so many new and amazing people, only to leave them behind. And the vast majority are graduating next semester, so I probably won't see them again. I want you to know that I love you and will cherish the time we had together. Thank you for being my friend, I truly appreciate it.
The time is getting closer everyday until I leave and I keep getting more and more excited. I keep trying to mentally prepare myself, but I just can't. I'm trying not to freak out, but that's what's starting to happen. At first I was slightly terrified to be alone in an unknown country. But as I met people in my program and talked to my friends who previously studied abroad, I've calmed down a little. I will be living my dream, experiencing a new world and hopefully discover a new side of myself.
