Who I am now

I'm sitting outside in the backyard today. It's 30 degrees and it's so nice, it feels like summer. I am sitting listening to music. Somehow this feeling of summer doesn't feel that nice and happy to me. It reminds me to when I came here, and this makes me think of the time I have left in this gorgeus place. It's a weird feeling. I don't want to go back to Spain. I've changed so much and I've grown so much during this experience, my views are not the same anymore and I want to stay here. I've read many blogs of exchange students who have gone back home and they talk about the adaptation that it means. Basically, you've changed so much in your new life that getting back to your old life seems harder than adapting to a new culture. It's been a year since I came here, and even if I miss my friends a lot, I know they've met new people too and they may not understand what I've been through. I know I shouldn't be thinking such in a negative way because I still have some time here and I have to enjoy the rest of my experience, but I seriously don't want to leave! I've met some of my bestest friends here, I love them so much! I'll miss my host family so much too, they've helped me so much with everything and I'll make sure to keep in touch with them. This experience has been AWESOME and I wish I could stay here forever...🇺🇸❤️

It's all coming to an end...

Hey guys! 

Lately I've been pretty busy with school and everything in general... I wanted to write another post, because my school year, since I am a senior in my school, is ending in 3 weeks. I still can't believe it, our last day is May 22nd and I am already thinking about my plans for summer.

New Trier has been great. Maybe it hasn't been how I expected at the beggining, but it's been good. This school is a hard school, more like a college preparation high school, and for that reason I've learned a lot. I remember at the beggining I was mad because all  my friends were in easier high schools and had no homework. Also, the fact that there is no diversity in my high school has bothered me so much all this year. New Trier is like a bubble, it's a rich community and there's only white people who is only worried about academics and grades. It simply felt I was not living my american experience. It's been different, but amazing! I had expectations and they changed, but I've learned to adapt to any situation I have in front of me, even if I am not happy with it. Apart from that, I've met my amazing best friends and I've grown so much as a person. 

I'll keep you guys posted ❤️🇺🇸
