Well, it’s finally time for me to leave for Germany. I’ve been expecting it for two years now, and I feel prepared and have said goodbye to all of my friends. My last day in Minnesota I spent kayaking with my brother, and finalizing everything I’ve packed for the past three days. I’m going to be abroad for the next 3 semesters, and could not be more excited. The only bad part about it was the limbo I was stuck in before I finally start a new chapter in my life. I cannot wait to unpack and get settled and explore southern Germany! The only drawback of living in a technologically advanced society is watching snap stories of my friends back at Rollins before I get to start my own adventure, and sulk in my blankets while watching Netflix. The imminent arrival time is here, and even though this summer felt like purgatory I found myself saying “wow this summer went by so fast!” My mom was sobbing when I said goodbye to her first before leaving to Milwaukee to see my dad before I got on my flight in Chicago, saying “my babies leaving me! What am I going to do with out you?!” While my brother who already graduated and is living at home for an undefined time just stood there with a look on his face that read, what am I? Chopped liver? Her baby may be leaving, but it’s about time I grow up. Auf Wiedersehen America! See you whenever.<\/p>\n
