As the weeks wind down until the end of the semester, I've started to reflect in depth about my semester abroad so far. I have had many great and wonderful experiences so far abroad BUT there were also times where I would seriously hurt someone. I'm not really sure where to start with this post, but obviously something has happened recently to trigger this thought.
It's funny when you live with people you know and don't know. I thought I had the roommate from hell already and when she was gone after the semester I was so relieved...but NO! I was so wrong. I have never met certain individuals that are so inconsiderate. It is really not that difficult to throw a bottle away or wash a freakin dish. Is it rally that hard? I have never seen so many crumbs EVERYWHERE where the mice start living in our apt because they know they are being fed. It has become beyond ridiculous. If you don't want something, it's common sense to just throw it straight into the trashcan but nope, not for this person, apparently the everyone is at her feet and when they become fed up with this person's trash then they throw it away. This person has never once taken out the trash, I bet this person doesn't even know how to open the door to the trash. OMG this person also never turns off the light and when this individual showers, it becomes a flood in the bathroom. There are so many things I don't understand. This individual is also SO FREAKIN LOUD, everyone can hear everything through the walls and that laugh, oh my that laugh can cause a flock of birds to crash and fall from the sky. It's become so ridiculous where everyone is just on edge. Everyone wants to throw something of this individual's out the window. Let's talk about laundry. How about like a bajillion loads at once while everyone else needs to do laundry as well. It's probably this person's fault that the machine was broken. This is just a gist of dealing with this person. If I mentioned everything, it would take post after post. I just don't understand how someone can be so inconsiderate. It blows my mind. how difficult was it to teach your child to clean up after themselves. nuff said.
Roommates are a funny thing. Living with someone allows you to learn so much about that person. You think you know someone until you live with them and that's for sure.
I want to move on from roommates. That is just a topic I don't want to touch anymore.
Studying abroad has thrown me into the real world. They say college is like going into the real world but it's studying abroad that did it for me. We had to find our own apartment, deal with a terrible landlord and feed ourselves. I have had to grown up a lot faster than I anticipated too, it's not a bad thing but it just makes me want to feel forever young.
There are so many things that could have gone right or wrong with my semester abroad. Instead of reflecting back on what went wrong this semester, with the remaining month, I shall hope and aim for the best. I can only advise those going abroad in the future to not make the same mistakes that I have. One can only hope.
