Going Out Abroad

      Here's the very shocking thing about going out abroad; it's exactly the same as when you're at home! I don't care what nationality guys are, you need to be careful, the same way you need to when you are at home. It's not better, it's not worse but people (girls and guys) are exactly the same no matter where you go. If you're interested in finding a relationship you'll find one- if not then you'll find really good friends to hang out with (which is what I found).
     No one wants to talk about how hard it is to differentiate from the hordes of international people who are hammering down shots and dancing like it's the last time they'll be able to show off they're  MTV skills. Be patient! There's more to studying abroad than showing off how low you can drop it to the floor (And trust me, I can get lowwwww).
      It's about making relationships with people that otherwise you wouldn't; through languages that you don't understand. One of my roommates has a friend staying with her from eastern Europe, and he has taught me so much about his culture that I never would have known!
    In good time, you'll find the people that you should be with. Maybe they all have boyfriends and you're just along for the ride, or they'll want to be single and independent; they may even want to find meaningful relationships.

 All you need to know is that there are people, like you, going through the same confusing, erratic, and, seemingly incomprehensible journey that you yourself have encountered amidst this evolutionary journey.

Be patient, be kind, be open.

  1. I agree, from Germany to South Africa "going out" is the same EVERYWHERE! The only difference is what's on tap.
