Living Abroad – The Home Stretch

Submitted by Sydney Moreno the 2024 Spring program in London, England

As the semester starts to wind down, I have learned to live more in the moment than ever before. Making sure I have time to balance my studies, my social life, and my internship has gotten easier with time, and now that I feel like I’ve finally gotten the hang of it, it’s almost over!

I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on what it means to live in another country, and how it shapes my views as well as my behavior. I feel like Inhave learned so much about becoming adaptable and remaining flexible in order to make the most of my experiences, and that’s really all that I can ask for. I feel like I will be returning home with not only a better understanding of a new culture, but also a better understanding of who I am as a person. (Submitted on April 11,2024)
