The most nonhelpful tips for packing

Gutentag faithful followers

Here I am again. Or hello again blog world - to those who embraced me as a young 18 year old abroad last time. 

I ask for all of you to lower your expectations before you continue reading.

Tips for going to Europe:

1.) pack that one black dress

2.) if going to Europe, over pack in the shoe department because the shoes in Europe are so overpriced - it's disgusting. 

3.) pack deodorant and tampons for the trek. They do no understand the luxury. That is all I will say. 

4.) pack only neutral colors. Europeans do no appreciate the color of Spring according to the American nor do they appreciate your gaudy-cool new purse that screams you are an American. Stripes, skinny jeans, and scarves will get your farther than any neon color will. You are welcome.

5.) Find a light weight jacket. I lost the perfect jacket and am still upset about it. Find it and embrace it because Europe is in the constant state of "light - jacket weather" it seems. I think they refer to this weather as "spring".

I have yet to even pack. I am putting it off because of my expertise packing skills and procrastination.

Blogs blogs blogs. I enjoyed my last blog and promised myself I would restrain yet, here I am.

I am feeling rather un-emotional for leaving this time.

I can't quite explain it. I think I will have a major break down while I am abroad with all the emotions I am pushing off - but until then ... let's embrace my procrastination of emotions that are tied with leaving the country for 6 months. 

People keep calling me "spoiled" for going abroad already for a year and now again for 6 months. You know what? Maybe I am! Actually, I totally am. I am totally spoiled for having this experience AGAIN. I am going to make this second opportunity count for all those that don't get to be able to do what I do. This is dedicated to you. To second chances. To those changes you should have taken and knew you would never get the chance. This is what this blog is. What I should have done the first time. To having that second chance and being able to explore what that means.

So raise your cups - to second chances and moments lost!

I shall not make you sad but I shall make your proud. But, still keep your expectations low my followers.

I will be arriving in Austria this Sunday and hopefully meeting an amazing person who calls herself Lilith, and my Erasmus Buddy. I have to admit, she sounds perfect but I am trying to keep my expectations low. For one can only be so cute over e-mail. Right? Or maybe she is as cute as she seems - stay tuned for the developments to arise. 

Oh, the dysfunction to come. 

Bis Bald my followers.
