There is no
better way to end this trip then to celebrate my 20th birthday. To
celebrate, we went to a karaoke night at a local bar restaurant, and it was
absolutely fantastic. Some of the most memorable songs that were sung were ‘It’s
My Life’ by Bon Jovi, and ‘Candy Shop’ by 50 Cent. I had the time of my life,
and could not have asked for a better birthday.
I was so
ready to go home and return to a familiar culture and style of living, but at
the same time, I knew we would all miss Luxembourg. However, one thing I knew I would not miss was the hostel, which everyone was ecstatic to leave. Walking up that massive hill for the last time made me slightly sentimental, but at the same time it was a relief to know that I would never have to struggle to climb it again.
Looking
back now, I miss Luxembourg immensely. Almost immediately after getting home, I wanted to see my friends and it felt strange to not have them around me. Every day was a new adventure which we all got to experience together as a group and create unimaginable bonds. I began the trip knowing only two people, but I can honestly say I left Luxembourg with so many new friends that I became so close to. The friends I made
and the memories I created make me very thankful I got to experience a study
abroad trip. No matter what miserable incident happened during the trip, I got through
it because of the amazing group of people I was with. I really want to thank all my friends, my professors, and Stanislas for making this trip as wonderful as it was. It was truly an
amazing experience and I would absolutely do it over again if presented the
opportunity.
