Hello Europe!

Things I'm Excited For During My Study Abroad Trip

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

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

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

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

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.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
