Nostalgia Overload

I've been contemplating writing a "2013 was amazing" post. Is it too late now? I don't know. This whole month has been a little bit of nostalgia overload. I have this app, "Timehop" and it lets you see what you've posted on social media over the past years.. and it's showing me stuff I posted last January, when I first embarked on that thing (the exchange). Between that, and a lot of my friends posting about arriving in Denmark a year ago, it's making me feel super nostalgic for those days last year of ~scarybutexciting~ adventures. So I indulged, I started going through the pictures and thus, the sads hit me. (HEY EVERYONE OVER THE OCEAN I MISS YOU).

<prepare for corniness>

It's not only missing the people (okay maybe it is), but I also miss the excitement of being somewhere new, and getting to explore. The end of my university career (for now) is coming, and that brings a whole bunch of other ~scarybutexciting~ feels with it. I'm trying to plan something for when that ends, but it's sort of difficult. A lot of things seem to feel impossible until they happen. But I think if you want it enough, then you'll make it happen(?)

I had a super long break from school and from work which obviously gave me far too much time to think. But lalala here it is, 25 days past it's prime....

2013 was ahmaaaaahzing post.

(if you haven't watch Happy Endings, you should.) 

 I made the most amazing friends from so many different places.

I got to see so much more of the world than I thought I would be able to.

(Roadtrip of Denmark, Hamburg, Dresden, Prague, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Uppsala, Thessaloniki, Athens, Rome, Populonia in Tuscany, Gabicce Mare, San Sebastian, Madrid, Bilbao)

I learned how to cook new things,
I learned a lot about other cultures,
I learned more of other languages.
I learned a thing or two about spontaneity.
I learned that I really do love adventure.
I learned that Canada is colder than Denmark.

I learned that things turned out better than expected.

I'm not going to draw this out much longer, but 2013 was probably one of the most fun-filled years I've ever had. So thank you to everyone who believed in me this year, pushed me when I needed it, and was there for me through it all. It's been wild. I'm hoping that 2014 will take me even more places than last year.

kisses, filakia, bisous, besos, tusind kys, ETC.
