I'm studying abroad this summer for a little over a month. I'll be traveling various places in Europe. While I am a little nervous for some aspects, I am excited for this trip. It's a great opportunity that I wasn't sure I would have, but I'm glad I will be able to take this trip this summer.

1. Traveling & New Places

Giphy

I love traveling and exploring new places. The environment of a new place is often much different than home. I'm excited to see all the different places and experience each one. I'm sure each city I travel to will be interesting and unique in its own ways. I can't wait for all the new experiences I'll get to have while I'm there.

2. The Food

Giphy

Of course I'm excited to try new foods there. While I'm sure I'll miss some of my "normal" foods from home at times, I'm definitely interested in getting to try all different foods in each place.

3. Taking Photos

Giphy

I'm definitely going to take a million photos while I'm studying abroad. One excuse for all the photos is that I can share my experiences of my time abroad. I'll also want to have photos for memories of my trip. My study abroad trip is also focusing on Photo Communications. My many photos will be a mixture of me exploring the new places, but also a ton of photos for my projects and portfolio.

4. Friends

Giphy

I don't know many people going on the trip, but luckily I do know a couple of them a little bit. Because we're going on this study abroad trip, we've already been planning some extra things to do and places to visit. I'm sure over time, I'll make more friends in this group, and I'm excited to get to know more people and share this great experience with them.

There's definitely a lot of things that I'm excited for during my study abroad trip this summer, but these were just a few of the main ones. I'm excited for all the new places and experiences, and I'm very glad I am actually able to have this opportunity.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
