Getting a student visa is definitely… interesting. Unique? Whatever it is, it's certainly unlike anything I’ve done before, and the process was made all the more interesting by my own forgetfulness. Specifically, I had forgotten that you need a passport to travel to other countries. 

I love New York City, and there are plenty of reasons why. I know that I am very privileged and lucky to be able to live in such an amazing place. So, forgive me when I say I am bored out of my mind and want to leave. Not because I have no love for my home, it’s actually quite the opposite, I have been here for too long. Having my flight leave for Europe two days before the month ends seems cruel. As of editing this blog post I have twenty days until my flight, and when I wrote my first draft, I had one month.
