Part of the reason why I wanted to
do a year abroad in the first place was to have new experiences in a different
culture. I thought living in a different country for a full academic year was
going to be a fantastic chance to get to experience things I had never done
before. I have definitely got to have some new experiences whilst I have been
studying abroad, now as the academic year comes to a close I am thinking back
to some of the experiences that have really stood out to me.
This was just like nothing I had
ever experienced before, I doubt back in the UK I will ever experience anything
like this ever again. I used to be a massive Glee fan so getting to perform a dance on an American Football
field was pretty cool for me!
I’ve been to Toronto a lot of
times throughout the academic year and I love it, I’ve had a great time every
single time. It really is a fantastic city to visit and I have enjoyed my
visits there.
Being British I have never experienced
Thanksgiving before so I didn’t really know what to expect. I had a really good
long weekend and got to spend a lot of quality time with the friends I’ve made
over here.
Halloween is increasingly becoming
more and more of a thing back in England, but for Halloween 2017 I went to a Halloween
event at a theme park which was a new experience for me and a lot of fun.
Christmas Party
Every year at university wherever I have been living, we
have organised a Christmas party of some sort. This year was no expectation,
although I think 2017’s was one of the very best. Everyone pulled together to
organise it and we had a lovely evening.
At first it was actually really exciting to experience
proper snow. As the winter wore on I became increasingly less keen on snow. But
I have not been short of excuses to make Frozen
references!
One of the best things I have done this year was Toronto
ComiCon, I just had such a fantastic time. It was an unforgettable geeky
experience.
