New Adventure

As you all know, I am back in the U.S. I wanted to continue blogging, so I started a new blog! click here to go to my new blog.  Thank you for following me throughout my trip in Sweden!

 

The end has come.

This post is had for me to type because, I am now back to reality in the U.S. But before I talk about being back, I will talk about my last couple days in Sweden! Sunday- as I said before my friends threw me a going away party and I packed. Monday- Got up early and got on a train to Stockholm, that day we went out to lunch and looked around the city a bit. Tuesday- Looked around the city some more, (which wasn''t so fun because it was SO cold, but it was still pretty), did a little shopping, and went to my first Opera.

The opera wasn't my favorite, but the experience itself was great. Wednesday- Got one hour of sleep then left for the airport at 2:45 am, traveled for 26 hours and arrived in Salt Lake at about 7:30 pm. Where Taylor picked me up.

Being back in the U.S. is really strange. I feel like I am going through culture shock once again. Everything in the U.S. seems HUGE. People talk a lot louder. Strangers talk to me, (which I am still not use to). Hearing English all around me is really weird, but it feels nice to be able to understand everything. I don't have to walk anymore, that's what cars are for right? (This is not a good thing). Everything costs way less here than in Sweden. I have noticed many more things that seemed normal to me before, but now that I have been gone seems very strange. It's weird that where we are from effects your thinking process and how we do things so much more than we realize.

Living in Sweden changed me 100% I am a different person than when I left. I am happier, I have more motivation to follow my dreams, I have more drive, I have a new perspective on life and how I want to live my life that I would have never had if I didn't go. It is really hard being back, it's hard to leave everything that I loved so much, I feel like I belong in Sweden. But I am back to reality, and I have to finish off things that I started, like graduate from school. I am not sure where life will take me but I am positive Sweden will always feel like a second home to me and I will go back many times. I miss Sweden. But I am still going to be happy where ever I am. I am so lucky that I was able to have this experience and I will never ever forget it.

Until next time, Sweden.

Hejdå

I Hate Goodbyes.

I am terrible with good byes.

Why do we have to say good bye anyways?

I came to Sweden knowing I would have to say goodbye eventually, but I never knew it would be this hard.

Tonight my friends threw me a little going away party, it was so nice of them!

They made all the Swedish foods, Swedish flags were everywhere, listened to Swedish music, looked at pictures from the time I was here and talked, it was very nice.

I have asked myself a few times, 'why did you come somewhere where you knew no one, made friendships, and then just leave?' 

I may be crazy but I do not regret coming here one bit, It is hard to say goodbye, but I know I will come back. 

I am glad I have gotten to know my Uncle Daniel and Ellinor and my cousins Christina and Esther better and I will miss them a lot, but I also know, I will see them again.

All the goodbyes are see you later. 

There are so many things that I have learned from this trip, that have changed my whole outlook on life.

I have fallen in love with this country.

I know I will come back plenty more times in my lifetime, and keep in contact with all of my friends here.

Instead of being sad, I will just remember all the good times I had here, and look forward to the next time I will be back. 

Happy New Years!!
