LESSON NUMBER 1:

When packing for study abroad, split up your things equally among all of your bags. For example if you’re bringing 9 shirts and have the same amount of luggage that I had, place 3 shirts in each suitcase and 3 in your carry-on. In your carry-on and personal item bring your most important things (electronics, medicine, and personal hygiene products as well as hair products if needed). Also make sure in your carry-on you have at least 3 changes of clothes and something to sleep in.

LESSON NUMBER 2:

Something is going to go wrong. But don’t let that affect your day overall.

LESSON NUMBER 3:

It’s important to make friends with people who speak the language you want to learn.

LESSON NUMBER 4:

If you have social anxiety finding one friend that has the same goals as you and wants to do the same things together will help you put yourself out there.

LESSON NUMBER 5:

Go with the flow.
