‘Tis the Season During Study Abroad

Published on December 14, 2011 by RosaLeave a comment

At first, I thought it would be sad to be away from home for Thanksgiving and the build up to Christmas because of being so far away from home and because Thanksgiving generally isn’t celebrated in Denmark. However, my Danish visiting family helped me make (or I helped them make) a very traditional Thanksgiving dinner so it was not so sad to be away from home. Also, there is so much Christmas spirit here in Denmark now, it is hard not to enjoy it even if I’m not with my family yet. But at least it’s late enough in the semester that everyone has friends and Danish ‘families’ to spend time with.

Hannah on “growing up” during study abroad

“If I had it my way, I would be like Peter Pan and never grow up, but all things must come to an end I suppose and we move on with life, whether willingly or unwillingly that part is up to us. For me this whole “Study Abroad experience” has become so much more than living in a foreign country for 4 months, I can honestly say that I have also “grown-up” in a sense as well. Living here has helped me gain a certain maturity I do not think I would have developed in the near future had I stayed in Denver.”
