Sitting here during the last night of the Fall 2019 semester writing about how I will be in Copenhagen in less than a month is such a surreal experience. I’ve known that I wanted to go abroad for a while now, but the reality is becoming much more apparent.
I found DIS early on in my study abroad program research. Pretty much immediately after finding DIS, I knew this was the right program for me. As an environmental studies and political science double major, DIS provided an abundance of classes that met both of my interests (including the Sustainability Core Course I am enrolled in and cannot wait for) while also being located in one of the greenest cities in the world. DIS practically had my name written all over it.
Now that this is actually happening, I am feeling ALL of the feelings. Not just the excitement whenever I remember I am going to be living in Copenhagen, but also the nerves that come with spending the next semester in a foreign country far away from anyone and anything familiar.
The whole idea of me living abroad has been somewhat of an abstract idea even since getting accepted into the program. Now that I am leaving in less than a month and somehow have to begin contemplating how to fit a whole semester’s worth of clothes into one suitcase, you could say that the reality of it all is hitting me, hard.
While the nerves are to be expected, I am exponentially more excited about what is to come from my time in Copenhagen and cannot wait to embark into the unknown (no this is not a Frozen II reference).
