After months of waiting, the big day is finally here, and your big adventure is just beginning.

1. When you realize how long the flight is

2. When you realize you won't be sleeping on the plane because of the timing of your flight...

You'll be doing all the homework you don't want to be doing.

3. Trying to fight everything in your suitcase and realizing that you cannot bring every article of clothing you own

4. Trying to remember where your passport is

5. How every single person you have ever talked to wants a gift, but you are to broke for that

6. The moment when you remember you actually know none of the languages that you will be immersed in

7. That moment when you are asked where you are going for the 1000th time, but it doesn't matter because you do not mind the bragging

8. Trying to figure out when you are going to do all the assignments you are missing out normal school

9. Realizing that none of your clothes are good enough for this trip because you already know you'll constantly be taking pictures

10. Realizing how much money you need and how you will do almost anything to get it

11. That moment when you realize that the everything will go by quicker than you can capture on a phone
