"So, as everyone is packing to go back to school and getting excited about seeing all their friends again, I am worrying and waiting for my time to study abroad at Oxford University in England. At first I was super excited for this opportunity, but now I am starting to get nervous about the whole experience. Will I make friends? How am I supposed to pack my life into two suitcases? How can I stay away from my family for three months? Going away to college was a very exciting moment for me, but since my school is only 45 minutes away from my hometown, it was not the biggest transition in my life. Now crossing over the pond with my two suitcases in hand, I am ready to truly become an independent woman. This is my time to show my family and friends that I have the strength to do this alone! It&amp;#039;s a new beginning and I am ready to see what England has in store for me. But how do I get over my fears? How am I supposed to cook dinner in my &amp;quot;flat,&amp;quot; exchange money at the bank or find friends to travel all over Europe with? It is such an exciting time in my life but I guess it&amp;#039;s a little overwhelming too.  Have any of you CG!&amp;#039;s studied abroad? Can you give me some tips about packing, finding a cute British boy or living in another country? Talk to me, I&amp;#039;d love to hear from you!
