FOMO

FOMO.

Well here it is, the typical "I'm studying abroad!!" blog. It's 10:30pm the day before I'm leaving for Sevilla, Spain until May, and I'm no where near done packing and still have laundry in the dryer. But, instead of worrying about packing actual clothing and necessities, I cannot stop thinking about how I REALLY need to paint my nails and start this blog off before I forget about it completely.

A ton of people are abroad this semester, so to keep it interesting, I'm going to focus on the totally weird or unexpected experiences I'll be having over there, rather than the average details of places you won't really know what I'm talking about. For example, instead of me explaining how nervous and excited I am to be leaving tomorrow, this post is about my self-diagnosed disease, called FOMO.

FOMO: Fear of Missing Out, is definitely a thing. And while everyone keeps reminding me "you'll be in Spain, we're jealous of you, don't be missing us!" this disease has really started to become an issue. I shouldn't worry about missing out on seeing the entire campus at DHOP on a Saturday night, or laying on T-Hall lawn the second it gets above 50 degrees, or making fun of all the insane girls going after Juan Pablo on the Bachelor with my friends, but right now I'm absolutely having separation anxiety from UNH. Not only that, but I'm there's a very good chance I'm going to bring my dogs with me in my suitcase, and I'm going to miss my dad's stupid jokes, and hanging out with my mom while watching Netflix. Aidan will have his license by the time I'm back (WEIRD) and Megan will probably be 5'7 by then (haha yeah riiiiight sorry Meg hehe). All in all, FOMO is totally a real disease.

Despite all the worries I have about what'll be going on back home, I cannot wait for the moment that I'm in Spain and realize that I was insane to be worrying in the first place. For those of you that know me well, you know that I went through a terrible time trying to get the opportunity to even go abroad at all, and worked extremely hard to make this happen. I don't think I've ever been more grateful for hard work paying off and I'm going to make this trip absolutely amazing because of it, and hopefully I'll be FOMO free in no time. I have no idea when I'll be writing on here but stay tuned, because I also decided that starting next time, I'm going to make a shout out to someone back home in every post justtt to keep you all on your toes. 

That sounds pretty lame now that I think about it but I don't CARE and it's happening.

Adios amigos y familia y gracias por leer! Nos vemos pronto! 

Hasta luego,

Moll :)
