YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
IM BACK IN THE U S OF A!!! Sorry it took me so damn long to update you guys of my safe arrival back to the motha fuckin BAYYYYYY. I've just been so preoccupied with my baeee ;). However, December really did fly by. With all the Christmas markets, exams and projects ya girl was just ready to come home. Not to mention it was getting dark around 3:30pm and I was NAWT with it!! I really do miss my host family and the CBS rugby girls but boy does it feel good to be home. Like honestly I fucking love California especially my town Oakland and I just needed to be back. Don't get me wrong I loved my time abroad but nothing is quite like home <3

Bruh I should have just traveled by myself, I basically planned this whole thing and these girls really need to calm tf down. I understand having anxiety, but to this extent where you are constantly worrying about dumb ass shit got me really fucked up. I'm just trynna enjoy my week off school and explore Italy and all of it's beauty but I can't see to do that.
When we first got to Rome (btw the weather was amazing) our hostel didnt have warm showers... so what do these girls do? who have been traveling on dirty ass planes and busses Word of advice.. Don't go to Estonia. I mean if you're trying to check off visiting the most boring country in the world then by all means go ahead. Legit by hour 3 of being in Estonia, I was fucking done and ready to go home as in Fiji. It's rainy, gloomy, the architecture is kinda ugly tbh and the people are fuckin rude!! Our tour guide even agreed that Estonians aren't the nicest people.
We visited this medieval restaurant that was kinda cool but it was dark af like think going into a holister except a bit darker.. maybe so we couldnt see the food that was nasty af. I ate black bear sausage and it was truly a wild experience. I'm sounding like a brat not enjoying all these experiences which i promise i TRULY AM GRATEFUL FOR! I just don't think I would ever come here again. After dinner the group went to a live band bar which was cool, I'm always down for some live music. Nothing else worth mentioning happened, so that concluded my experience in boring ass Estonia. After 2 and a half days we finally boarded the ship to Finland, I was particularly excited for this 1.5 hour boat ride because there was free wine and beer on tap. I don't particularly like the people in my group so getting wasted on wine sounded like the best time ever. We all ended up playing drinking games with the TA and professor which was fine and ya girl was getting turnt at 2pm. We made it to our hotel which had a fuckin pool and sauna so I was down for that. (Side note: I filled my 64 ounce hydro flask with wine before I got off the boat ;)) Took my wine to the sauna and drank more, some what drunk bonded with Lexi (who is a wild child) then knocked the fuck out. Helsinki was a little more fun that Estonia just because it was bigger and there was more stuff to do there. Saw a few hospitals and shit went to a karaoke bar and stephanie (the only other brown person in the group) WENT IN!! and when I say went in, this girl fuckin did the splits while doing karaoke to I like big butts and i cannot lie. Like she fuckin did THAT. Mad props to her for being that extra. Overall, I would rate my experience 5/10 just because it was cool visiting these countries that I would have never thought to visit and also because the people in my class honestly suck and are childish af. We are all fucking 20 and older why do I feel like it's middle school all over again and I have to prove myself to be part of the group. It's not even about me complaining about not having friends, it's the fact that these girls are literally cliquey AF and I know im a fuckin boss bitch and dont need their approval. I'm glad I can fuckin ride solo because fuck em honestly. My homie from all the way back to phoenix fusion came to Dopenhagen!! ELIZA BISH!!! Did some touristy shit you knoo the whole shabang of paper island and botanical garden and Hyhavn and of course got that good kush from Christiania! You would never guess who we ran into there!!! FUCKIN SAM EISENSTAT (not really sure how you spell him last name tbh) but yea that fine ass piece of meat was there with some other Elon guys and it was really funny! Then we came home and my host fam was gone for the night and left us with 400 KRONER to buy food but yeet we bout that good good alc ya feel me?!? This was also the first night i blacked out since being abroad and it was a fuckin mess. I wouldve been fine if i didnt chug that fuckin cheap wine Katie gave me. Danced with this one asian guy all night and then got dragged to another club that i dont even remember going to tbh.. then went to Micky D's and called it a night.
The next morning I don't even know how I got up at 5:30am, showered, packed, and made it into the city to be picked up to head to Hunestead for a rugby tournament for breast cancer! It was rainy AF but we still played cause we fuckin BEASTS YA KNOW?!?! And I scored my first try!! some exciting shit!! Now I just gotta run faster cause these bitches be slippin right outta my hands! After the tournament Dea dropped me off and Eliza was in bed, she spent the day exploring the city and we were both tired AF we thought about going out but wereon the same wave length of just going to this booty ass light show and calling it a night. I also lost my fave hoop earing :( #RIP Then on Sunday my host dad dropped her off and that was a well spent weekend before my trip to Finland and Estonia. **Goes to Munich during Oktoberfest weekend and doesn't go to Oktoberfest**
Basically my life in a nutshell... Being surrounded by events that only happen once a year and completely miss out on it. I mean it's okay because I got to spend time with my mama!!! We actually went for the Oktoberfest 7's Rugby Tournament and that shit was fun!! Mom got wasted as usual and Fiji made it to the finals but unfortunately lost to Australia :( We stayed with one of my moms old friends from Levuka, he live in this cool loft apartment in Regansburg or something like that, basically an hour out of Munich, I mean grateful that we had a place to stay but that place was FAR AF! This was the first time they ever hosted rugby 7s in Germany and it was fun, it was held in the 1972 Olympic Stadium where it could probably hold 80,000 people but there was probably only 10,000 people there soo empty AF! So back to this title and there being no damn water in Germany. LIKE IS THAT TOO HARD TO ASK FOR?! My moms friend packed a huge 2 liter bottle of water... or so I thought. This shit was MANGO INFUSED WATER! I like me some mangos but in my water?!?! thats hella sweet?? No thank you. The I go to the confession stands where they sell hot dogs and normal sports watching food and I kid you not, they did not sell any DAMN WATER!! They only had sparkling water. At this point ya girl was dehydrated AS FUCK! And no other liquid except some basic as water was gonna quench this thirst. So I get a cup of beer, chug that shit and went to the bathroom and just filled that cup up with good ass refreshing ass tap water! I even went back for another cup!! Moral of the story just drink the damn tap water, living in the states got me fearing I'm finna get Ebola from drinking tap water when i know damn well I been drinking out of creeks and random hoses in Fiji. I didn't die and neither will you! I feel like the past 2 posts have been lowkey highkey downers but believe it or not I am actually HAVING FUN and making the most of my time here! Granted that I am traveling every weekend to meet old friends and not really meeting new ones here, but hey it's nice seeing familiar people. Just the effort of meeting new people and testing the waters to see if they're cool/tolerable/likable people is just to tiring. It's not like i have requirements for people to be my friend just don't be obnoxious and annoying or pretend you're better than me. Cause I have met a lot of people who are extremely obnoxious and only seem to care about getting shit faced and flaunt how much money they make. I mean I'm all about getting shit faced... just not every fucking weekend.
Anyway I'm straying away from the point of this post which is my main girl Tuva! We met back in middle school when she came to the US in 2010 because her dad had a job thing for 6 months in Berkeley. Well I visited her in Norway last weekend and I had a fucking blast. We ate good ass food, went hiking, drank some white beer oh and I tried snus.... DO NOT RECOMMEND IT . It's basically the tobacco shit that people put in their gums under their lip. But this one is Norwegian and 10x stronger. Tuva had a few of her friends over and we drank some and one of her friends was doing this shit and I asked how it felt and she offered one to me. I'm usually against tobacco products but I was in a "fuck it" kinda mood so I tried it. AND LEMME TELL YOU, I FELT THAT SHIT WITHIN 15 SECONDS. It was like a sudden head rush! Nothing has ever hit me that fast in my life. Like I was dizzy AF. If I would had stood up theres a high change I would've fallen down. Then after a minute MY WHOLE BODY was numb like soft pins and needles type of feeling. So i was just sitting there right, listening to everyone talk then all of a sudden I feel like throwing up. This girl was mid sentence and I just covered my mouf and sprinted to the sink to throw up. Went to the bathroom and proceeded to throw up all the sushi I had eaten for dinner. Then I was good as new and we went out to the clubs which is when Tuva got caught with a fake bc you have to be fucking 20 to get in the clubs in Norway.... and 18 in the rest of Europe. I know crazy! So we just went home and PTFO! I have now officially spent 2 whole days wasted watching movies I've already seen, and Vampire Diaries reruns, I mean don't get me wrong it's a great show but 1 whole season in a day is pathetic and frankly sad. I'm in fucking Denmark for 3 more months and I'm already being a bumfuck that hasn't even been outside in 48 hours. This also goes into my rant about how misleading social media can be.
If you're not a close friend of mine it would seem that I am having the time of my life, going on all these adventures and hitting all the clubs solely based on what I post on instagram and snapchat. I am definitely having a good time and making the most of my time here (sorta), and I am very grateful for this opportunity and acknowledge the privilege that not everyone can study in a foreign country for a whole semester. However, what you see on social media is not everything that I am experiencing. Obviously I'm not going to post a pic on instagram of be eating my fourth bowl of cereal in bed watching Netflix all day. I'm not going to post about not having that many friends here and about how I have to pregame by myself (lol) and hope that my one other friend wants to go out because if she doesn't want to then I'm not going to go out solo. I'm not going to post about the many walks and bike rides I've taken by myself because that would just seem sad and why would I post that when everyone else on this trip has found their squad and are already traveling to other countries for the weekend when I can't even visit another place because I would be going by myself. I feel like I'm being dramatic now, like I neeeed other people..... I'd like to think that I am a very independent person, being an only child you learn to be alone a lot and rely on yourself to do things on your own and figure it out. However, too much time spent alone is fucking lonely and you start to miss that human interaction. I usually talk to myself, but I've been doing it a lot more lately simply because I haven't spoken in hours sometimes (still not crazy I swear). So here goes back to my point about social media, what I post are only the highlights out of the many days spent alone, so please please don't be fooled. There are many days spent wondering what I'm going to do, if I'm even going to make it out of my room. I'm currently in a café in Copenhagen because I couldn't spend another minute in my room. I can't spend all my time talking to my friends back home and relying on that to fulfill my loneliness because then what was even the point of coming abroad if I'm not going to make an effort to meet new people and discover new places? I definitely realize that a lot of my loneliness is my own fault since I'm not putting in the effort to meet more people. However, it's hard when you already have amazing friends back home and it's hard to show the "real me" when first meeting people because I guess I'm weird hah. It's not like I haven't tried tho!! Like my public health class has a groupme chat and I invited people to go on a boat ride with me and no one replied sooo there. If I don't make more friends, it's not like it's the end of the world. I'll just travel by myself, it will be fine cause there's only 93 more days here but who's counting amiright!? Since I basically have all the free time in the world because no classes (none on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday) I thought It would be a great idea to get some friends together and go "GoBoating" basically this service where you can rent a boat and with no experience required, you can drive the boat and bring wine and snacks! Sounds like a great time right? And indeed it was. Went with some people I met and they brought friends and while we were introducing ourselves, this one guy says he goes to Elon, mind you i have never seen this guy in my life. I also don't know a lot of people at Elon... yikes. But we had a ball just driving around and getting turnt on cheap wine. Half way through someone says that there was an accident last year where 2 DIS students died in this boat because a crazy jet skier just rode right into them. I was shook, like why didnt you tell me this before we got on.... But we survived and had a great time. RIP to the two girls that passed.
