Final Thoughts On Studying Abroad #HogsAbroad in Spain #MondayMotivation

My study abroad trip in Madrid has officially come to an end. I have been home for a few days now, and the realization that I am back is finally setting in. It really seems like I had just unpacked my things yesterday. I really came to love Madrid. I met so many amazing people, and visited so many gorgeous places. I saw so much, yet it feels like I still had even more to see. I wish I could have stayed a while longer.

For the people who plan to study abroad, I have but one recommendation. That is to meet and get to really know some new people during the trip as possible. I had so much fun travelling Europe, but what really made it special, were the awesome people that I got to go to those places with. I also had the amazing opportunity to room with 8 amazing people that became my dear friends. So enjoy your study abroad trip, but more importantly, spend that time meeting new people, and connecting with, because in the end, you will only be left with those memories, and those new friends to make more memories with.
