CINCO DE MAYO

Saturday was Cinco De Mayo which were celebrated with mustaches, tequila and maracas. It was also the last weekend before finals week and everybody needed some fun before spending the rest of the week at the library. Next weekend is the last weekend before people start going home – it’s going to be hard to say goodbye to everyone. 

Culture Shock

Last weekend was filled with music, carnival rides, fried Oreos and hangovers. I didn’t know any of the bands but it was just fun to see a new side of campus. Apparently the weather is always really bad when it is Culture Shock and it was not like it was amazing weather this weekend but at least it didn’t rain. After the weekend it was back to reality and the last week of school before finals week.    

Studies

I only have a couple of weeks left of school which also means that I have a lot of school work. I therefore spend a lot of time at the library these days not so much fun but very necessary. But after next week I’ll be almost finished with school for this semester! After school ends I’m gonna travel around a little to see some of the people I’ve got to know while I’ve been here – very excited for that!!!  

Zombie prom

Friday was Zombie prom. You dress up as a zombie, pour fake blood on yourself and drink a lot of beer. It was so much fun, the best part of the night though was almost getting dressed. 

Friends

One of the best things being on exchange is meeting a lot great people. Even though I’ve only been here for a little more than 2 months I feel so comfortable around these people. And I am sure that I will remember all of them for the rest of my life. Yesterday the first one in the group left for a job and I can’t even imagine how hard it will be when school ends and I have to say goodbye to the rest of them! <3   

NYC BABY!!!

My family has been visiting me during spring break and I have therefore been in the city for a week. Even though I have been at Purchase for more than 2 months I have only been in the city 2 times. So this week I have been doing a lot of touristy things and shopping. The weather has been beautiful and I had so much fun. It’s tough though to walk all day so my feet are looking forward to go back to campus where the longest walk is to Starbucks, which takes 5 min! 

J-6-1

Living on campus is a new thing for me and it has been exciting and challenging. In the beginning I was a little afraid that it would all drama and chaos living with 5 other girls, especially when I’m use to live by myself. But as it turns out it has been so much fun and a good way to get to now people. This is definitely one of the things I have enjoyed most – living with 5 amazing girls!
