As hard as it is to sit down and motivate myself to study for finals, I’m greatful to know that as soon as I’m done I get to go experience Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia with two of my best friends. There’s nothing I love more than visiting and enjoying new countries, cultures, and people. It’s made for a hard second semester trying to work as much as possible to save for my trip, while being in school full time, and dealing with everything else that was going on in my life. But in three weeks, the hard work will all pay off and I’ll be able to just relax and enjoy myself.
