The Alps Changed Me.

It was impossible not to fall head over heels for the landscape. The sights speak for themselves.

These are the best days of my life.

Hands down.
Going to Germany is the best decision I have ever made. I feel free, I feel independent, and for the first time in a long time, I am happy. College has really beaten me down and depressed me and made me lose my way, but coming here, and being in Europe, I know everything is going to be okay. If I can make it through weird and awkward situations in foreign country, I can do anything. Nobody is here to hold my hand.

I'm not shy about admitting that I deserve this. I have earned my happiness and freedom. I've earned my right to let loose and let life take the wheel instead of letting academia rule my life. I think I'm doing fine in school here, because I'm still me, but I don't spend a lot of time worrying about it. I have a healthier relationship with school here, because school isn't the center of my life here. Life is more important. I'm actually living.
