I’m Literally Freaking Out

Hey guys! Help?!

I leave for Spain on Saturday. I am so blessed to be able to go on this trip and I know how lucky I am to be able to study abroad and to travel. But I’m literally freaking out.

How am I going to pay for all of my trips?

How am I going to go so long without seeing my family?

Are my classes going to be hard?

Am I going to feel really homesick and lonely?

Am I going to struggle big time with my Spanish?

Will my bed be comfy?

Will I have enough space in my suitcase?

Am I going to make new friends?

Will I forget anything? (I can already answer this, the answer is yes)

I feel like a lot of people must have the same questions before they go abroad. At least I hope they do, because if not then I probably seem crazy. Going abroad is an experience I’ve never had before. I’ve taken vacations without my family and I go away to college so I don’t see my family that often, but something about the distance is really unnerving. I am obsessed with my family, we’re really close so this is really scary. I’m also scared of the unknown. If you read my first ever post How to be a New Intern then you read a little bit about how I get pretty anxious about big changes in my life. I try to take steps to control how anxious I get about things, but this is a really big change and I’m struggling. Everyone I know keeps saying this is going to be such a fun time in my life and that I will have so much fun, but I’m sitting in my childhood bedroom and I’m already homesick. I hope when I get there I snap out of it and start having fun because this really is the trip of a lifetime.  I think this is a cry for help? I’m literally freaking out. I can’t organize my thoughts.

I guess this is kinda a lot to publish online, but I hope that if anyone reads this that is feeling the same way that they know that someone else felt that way too. Every time I feel like this, everything ends up turning out fine. I have a great support team behind me (my family) and I can do anything as long as I have them, I’m lucky. Also, I don’t get a ton of readers at this point so whatever lol. I think I’m going to follow up on this post and answer my own questions once I’m adjusted to being there.

I hope I post again before I get on that plane, but if not I’ll see you there!

Xoxo,

Kris

    Alright, spent some time on Tut88. User Experience is pretty clean, good selection of games and it all seems legit which is always a plus, right? Have a cheeky gander: tut88

    Vipwim, eh? Sounds kinda fancy! Looked around a bit, and it seems alright. Honestly, hard to tell without diving in, but the vibe is… promising? Maybe worth a punt. Here is the link: vipwim

    I was hesitant to try mobile slots at first but this app won me over completely. The night sessions are especially fun with all the live events and the sound effects make every spin feel exciting. Customer service responded in under two minutes when I had a question. Highly recommend trying it. slotnitecasinomobileapp
