I can’t believe the time has come. In one week it would have been one year since I packed my
bags and left Australia a vulnerable, uncultured 18-year-old. But after a year of living abroad, gathering new experiences left and right, I am proud to say I am going home a better me.
Studying abroad was always a driving motivation for me during my studies and deciding to study at RheinAhrCampus was a decision I made in a day. I knew I wanted Europe and Germany as my destination and RheinAhrCampus turned out to be my home away from home.
My first semester was full of meeting new people, traveling, starting a new internship, learning in a new environment and the scariest, living by myself. However, once I was able to settle into everyday life, I was able to make Remagen my home and feel comfortable being independent. So comfortable in fact that I had to stay an extra semester.
The support here at RheinAhrCampus was so overwhelming and really came in useful when I felt homesick. Because RheinAhrCampus is quite small, all the students know each other, and your friends became my family.
That is why I am writing this while feeling a touch of sadness. After spending a year here I feel as though I am kind of leaving my “German family” behind (No offense to my real family, I still love you too!)
So in closing, I would like to thank every single person that made my stay in Germany and at RheinAhrCampus unforgettable – from my closest friends Markus, Gintare and Emese to the man who made getting my visa a hellish experience – I’ll never forget any of you.
Bis Später,
Lucy
