saying yes to as many things as you can is so good, because especially the one term exchanges go by sooo fast! I wanna go on an exchange to canada, and especially the fall semester and i already know it's going to go by in a blink
currently in my first couple weeks of studying abroad in Oslo - love that we have had the same experiences in terms of “what the hell am I doing” & the boredom!!!!
Hi Katie! I'm revisiting this video because I'm going to the UK next thursday to start my masters degree. I wanted to say your videos helped me a lot since I started preparing for this almost two years ago, I found you halfway through my anxiety filled preparation around the beginning of last year 2022 and it helped me a lot. You're very relatable. I might create my very own youtube/journal thinggy because you inspired me to do so, but mine might be in spanish. Lots of love from Colombia... soon UK lol.
Absolutely loved this video! I am actually from Scotland 🏴 haha so I hope you enjoyed your time here. ❤️ I’m leaving for a year in august (hopefully) and going to study in Portugal. Though initially very excited and keen, I can’t help feel a little afraid of moving to a completely new country, and I’m apprehensive about this new experience. Loved being able to relate to a lot of the content within your video 😊
im moving to Glasgow in September for my masters and your videos have been super helpful (particularly the packing ones, I have a lot of stuff 😬) and keep me really excited to go! I have been to Scotland four times already so I don't think I'm scared of the unknown so much as curious to see what it will be like to actually live there!
Heyyy katie, damn i'm going to brazil for a exchange program and i'm scared. I've been binge watching your videos and i just want to let you know that they are comforting me, i feel so alone and overwhelmed with all this. Byee
10:13 (or around that moment) "something that i'll translate to my *actual* life", well that's what keeps me thinking and thinking... exchanging is good but you leave your permanent life on hold don't you? what if you come to discover later that you should have made use of that time at home? what if you come back and things aren't the same?
I guess, it's just something that you just accept, that you deal with. I mean - you can't turn back in time and you can't change things that had already happend, so the only thing left is to do something woth the actual things and in this right moment. Not regretting about past, even though it feels like you should - part of the maturity. As soon as you understand "yeah i shouldn't have left, but I still gained some experience and that's cool too" iyou will stop thinking about regret. To sum it up, don't regret about things and circumstances that haven't happend yet Hope that helped you 🤍
I really want to go for a year but I also have fomo so I’m nervous to leave all my college friends behind cuz Ill miss out on what they do for a whole year but I’ll be creating new experiences if i do study abroad idk i’m conflicted
when does the fall semester at edinburgh usually end? the website seems to say late december (close to christmas) but it looks like you got home a lot earlier than that?
did you feel lonely in edinburgh? because you are white american and not people of color , i thought white british people gonna be so friendly with white american
It's okay to be bored as it means you're no longer a tourist
Ah great point!
saying yes to as many things as you can is so good, because especially the one term exchanges go by sooo fast! I wanna go on an exchange to canada, and especially the fall semester and i already know it's going to go by in a blink
Yes! Ah that would be a fun one. Canada rules 😎
Canada seems nice , I live in Canada

Very true!
This was a very authentic video of study abroad advice. Thank you!

would you recommend going in the spring or fall semester, if you could only choose one?
Hopefully a little bit of Scottish culture is still in your memories. Nice blog 👌
when does the fall semester at edinburgh usually end? the website seems to say late december (close to christmas) but it looks like you got home a lot earlier than that?
her semester last year started earlier than the fall semester does this year…so i guess hers ended earlier than this year’s as well
did you feel lonely in edinburgh? because you are white american and not people of color , i thought white british people gonna be so friendly with white american
No way, I am a handsome white man but I don't have much friends too, how racist your question is🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@jackmiller1712 no.. not really
Imagine going for five years... 🥲
