It's Move In Day!

Today was the official "Move in Day" in the dorms for the fall semester. Reading the online article about it in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle made me slightly nostalgic for my own freshman year. Two years ago, at this time, I was moving into Roskie Hall, Room 424. Now, I'm in Buenos Aires, Argentina, already a month into the semester.

Oh, how times have changed.

I had some of the most fun times of my life in Roskie, and that was just the beginning of how going to MSU changed my life. It's amazing how many opportunities going to college opens up, especially moving to a different state to go to college. It's when you finally get to decide what you do with every second of your time. There are so many sports to play, clubs to join, community service opportunities, and ...there's STUDY ABROAD!

Going to college is only the first step in an exciting future. I would never be here right now if it weren't for my decision to go to MSU. Study abroad is truly the best way to experience another culture and learn another language (all for a reasonable price!), and coming here was probably the second best decision I ever made...the first being the decision to go to MSU!

Despite the fact that I miss Bozeman more than anything, I couldn't have chosen a better time to study abroad. "Absence makes the heart grow stronger" is definitely true. But, thanks to my study abroad schedule, I'll be done with the semester and back in Bozeman November 14, just in time for the ski season to start...and to start my job at Big Sky! Because I'm studying abroad and my semester ends at the beginning of November, I was able to get a job at Big Sky and I'll have two months of freedom to start the season, in my favorite place on earth, MONTANA.

Could life get better than this?
