flying home for the holidays tomorrow after my first semester of college abroad and i feel like the last four months have really made me think on who i am as a person.
college girl chronicles (1 semester /6):
august and september i kind of went a little crazy. i was getting shit faced 4 nights out of the week and going to class the next day like it was no problem (it was a problem). i was super dependent on the few friends i did have, even though i didn’t necessarily like the way they lived. then october and november came around and i was able to see some of my best friends who are also studying abroad and it really brought me some perspective and pulled me back down to earth. and then december so far i haven’t so much as left my house after 5pm which i feel like is not great but in the opposite direction.
university has been full of ups and downs already and i’m sure i’m still in for a lot more in the next 5 semesters.
i think i cried more this semester than i have in the past 2 years. and a lot of times i felt really hopeless and lonely and i wondered why i was even here in the first place.
i thought that i would have so many friends and be doing cute college things like dinner parties and then going to markets together. instead i learned that the first friends you make in college may not be the best long term option.
after i visited with my close friends i kind of came to terms with some easy things. like i’m not a clubbing every night girl, but i will pub crawl like no other. but i also had to come to terms with some hard things. like, i have to be comfortable alone, because i have a lot of alone time now.
i think if i hadn’t seen those friends i would still be self-destructing on the dance floor. so to them, thank you. even if it wasn’t an in-person visit. the phone calls and facetimes were just as needed.
i think next semester will be almost starting from scratch and i think that’s okay. i’m taking classes that i’ll actually enjoy and in those preferred classes i’ll hopefully meet like-minded people so that i *can* have those dinner parties and market visits i dreamed about in high school.
happy holidays everyone, and a very merry new year.

Heyy
I’m considering attending Bishop’s University in QC but there aren’t many reviews for it. Can anyone give me some honest opinions on it? Thanks!

I started going to the gym again and my mental health has been doing a lot better. I’m just enjoying uni a lot more. I’m having fun with my classes, and it’s nice to see my friends everyday. I need to remember to calm down and stop stressing over the small things.
