Wow, my first year at college has been incredible. When I look back on all of the things that I have done and learned during my first two semesters in college, it’s amazing how much I have managed to pack into such a short period of time. People have always told me that college is the best time of your life, and while I was originally skeptical of this statement, now that I have gotten to experience college for myself, I really believe that this statement is correct.
Because this period of time has been so busy for me, I actually was not looking forward to this summer. That may sound strange, but I will be away from school for almost a full three months, and during the one month winter break, it didn’t take long for me to get bored in that short period of time.
Since I’m too young to get an internship, I thought I was going to be stuck working a boring summer job. However, when I found out about a study abroad program in Greece, I instantly knew that was exactly what I wanted to do this summer. It was a long application process, but I’m happy to say that I will be spending my summer “studying” in Greece!
