Hello everyone!
I know it's been a long time since I have written.
I have been incredibly busy!
From working to college visits, I have had no down time.
Being away from Italy is incredibly hard. I am skyping and writing to my friends but it is not the same. I hope that I will be able to see them sometime soon! I miss them all so much.
But adjusting is going fine as long as I stay busy. When I am sitting doing nothing, it is a lot harder.
There are a lot of triggers that make me think of Italy at random moments, but all I have are good thoughts. I don't even think of the hard times anymore. All I think of are the wonderful times I had with my friends and family. I am forever grateful for this experience and I am so glad that it will always be a part of who I am.
Thanks! <3

Returning
Hello everyone,
I am officially back in America. It is so crazy. I honestly don't even know how it happened. I just remember going to the airport 9 months ago and then having the time of my life. The year flew by so quickly. It feels like I just got there a week ago and then had to turn around and come back.
My 9 months abroad were some of the best months I have had. I will never forget my time with my friends and family. I feel like I am a changed person.
Unfortunately, coming back was one of the hardest things I have even hard to do though. I made so many amazing friends and saying goodbye was extremely difficult. I shed so many tears.
I hope with all my heart that we will be able to keep up our relationships and continue to talk.
When I got home, my family and beat friend were waiting for me at the airport and we went to eat some hamburgers and milkshakes. When I got home, I was reunited with my dogs and my parents surprised me with my very own car. I could not believe it!
Anyway, this year was so great and I'm already thinking about when I get to return to Italy.
Hopefully I will get back into the American lifestyle soon though!
