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.
