I recently studied abroad in Paris for 7 weeks at Sorbonne University.
Unlike most of the students in the same program, I lived with a family.
This was such a different experience than the other students because
aside from breakfast, I had to make lunch and dinner for myself. Living
at home I have mastered breakfast and of course lunch but dinner too? It
was a whole other world for me and I realized I need to learn how to
cook before I graduate this coming May!

Another thing I learned was that money isn't everything. Growing up
money was always something dangled in my face by parents or friends who
had things that I couldn't get. Living with my amazing host family
taught me how a real family shows how they care for one another. It
opened my eyes to what I have been missing all these years.

One thing that I definitely regret is how I spent my time. I was so hung
up about not wanting to go out so late at night because it doesn't get
dark until 10:30 pm in Paris. I never got to see the Eiffel Tower
twinkle in the night sky. I also had the opportunity to visit all of the
amazing museums, which I did visit with my fashion class! However, I
regret not going back to see them fully and enjoy the experience.
These are just a few things for now, but with all of my ranting, I
really loved Paris and all it had to offer. It was a wonderful feeling
to be away from home and those troubles, especially not having to work!
