End of the School Year

[silverink]

 I just finished my last class of the semester today! Now I just have to make it through finals week, & then I'm leaving for three weeks to study abroad in Italy! I've been taking a class to prepare for the study abroad, & honestly it's been pretty stressful for me & I've had some trouble with my anxiety, but now that the prep is almost over I'm able to focus more on the excitement of getting to go to Italy. Still very much feeling scared though. I'm hoping I can overcome my fears & really enjoy this, & maybe it'll help me to be braver in the future!

Any words of encouragement would be much appreciated <3

Good luck! I would have been anxious about studying abroad too. I'm not sure if it's the being in a strange place or the actual coursework that's causing more anxiety, but either way, I would say that 3 weeks will go by really quickly, even if something goes wrong, it won't be the end of the world, and that relaxing, accepting you can't control everything, and just focusing on the moment and not worrying about what might happen will help.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you saying this! <3

I think I'll end up enjoying most of the trip, I just need to stop overthinking it! It's definitely comforting to remember I can't control everything though & that I won't be gone for too long either way. Thank you again, dear!
