Unpacking my Erasmus

Unpacking my Erasmus

This cute little decoration was the first one that I bought when I went to Belgium. I am a quote lover, but I never imagined how true of a prediction this would be, and how my life just “happened” these past 5 months, showing me that plans change, but…for the better! I have heard loads of stories about Erasmus semesters, from different people, and most of the people told me that it was a great experience, and that they would not have changed it for anything. And, surprise – surprise, it’s true! I have been home for a couple of days already, and giving the fact that my last week was hectic and that everyone was leaving, Erasmus was already not the same. So, I’ll admit, I was really excited to get home. I was looking forward to relaxing days with my family, to catch-up session with my best friend, to walks around the city and so on. Bottom-line: I was ready to go home. A couple of days later and some well-deserved sleep (still not enough, but, hey I cannot sleep my life away), I am still happy to be home, but there is something missing. I cannot go into my flatmate’s room and start chatting about how our day was, I cannot pop over to our neighbours and make dinner plans, and there is no night out planned with our whole group.

So apart from some Instagraming and Snapchatting I stayed away from posting stuff. But I am back. My first week just ended and I’m not going to lie, it was really interesting! I met some great people, I had some good laughs, nights out and so on. Then we moved out, I have a new flatmate and great neighbours, it’s really cool that we sticked together, we are having some great times! Oh, and if you think that by finding a place you can finally relax and be sure the moving out process is done, you couldn’t be more wrong than that! If you were lucky enough to find a place with a mattress (no kidding, it’s rare here, but we found one) then you only have to worry about the duvet, the pillow, the sheets, the kitchen stuff, as cutlery, plates, mugs, bowls, pans, pots then hangers, decorations and I am sure I forgot something, as I did everytime I went shopping. So yeah, it takes a few days to get settled in, but as long as you go shopping with the right people, everything becomes funnier, the time goes faster and before you know it, it’s already dinner time and you find yourself going out for a meal,...
