Things I am taking from Sheffield

One night, Barbara sent us a link in our Europubhealth 2015/17 Facebook chat group. I usually ignore those link because I am too lazy to open and read them. That day, I felt like going through the link because it was a blog. I love reading blogs written by others. I think that helps me to improve mine but I never grasp anything (that is how I am; I never learn :D).
Coming back to the link, the blog was about Erasmus. YES, I am an Erasmus student but I never realized we were Erasmus students. Didn't get what I want to say? It's like: the name itself has a unity- ErasmUS.

As a 2 year Erasmus student, we have already completed our 6 months of stay in our first country i.e. in Sheffield, United Kingdom. As time has lapsed, I am more in love with people around me and the place of course.

So, in these 6 months of my life, what have I already achieved?

1. Memories for life: Not everyone gets a chance to study and make memories at the same time like Erasmus students. And especially when you have friends like I have, you make history that you will cherish through out your life. As an introvert, I take time to open up to people so I use to feel a bit awkward to talk to people initially. Sometimes, I don't understand their joke or their conversation and I talk less but I always loved being around them. Each and every moment that I have spent with my friends is a memorable one that I will treasure in my heart through out my life.

2. Love myself: I always complaint about the way I was born: my short height, my small- flat nose, my teeth and other disorientation in me. Well, Sheffield has taught me to love myself the way I am. While, I envied the "Beautiful" tagged girls and somehow wished to be like them, I realized I have many things that they don't have. I am among the few lucky ones to live my life, the way I wanted. I have learnt self-appraisal. I love myself.

3. Independent: I remember those sleepless nights that used to haunt me when I had to make my first journey to Sheffield. I tried staying calm and cool but throughout the 17 hours of my flight journey I was worried about how would I reach my destination. Bimisa didi and bhinaju were there for me to drop me my new home but after that how would I manage?
Now, after I survived 6 months on my own, learning and doing and dealing people, going to few trips on my own and returning home safe; I feel I am self-dependent now. I see a new me in my self.
The other day when I said my mom that I have started early morning jogs, she was a bit surprised to know that I run alone. Well, yeah! Now, I have a bit confidence in myself (and google map of course ;)))

4. Planning: I am not a person who plans and does things accordingly but I guess I have started learning that. The assignments and group works and everything has shaped me into a planner now. Well, I am a person who faces situations as they come and go, but these days, I started to think about future as well. A "what if" question always pops-in these days in front of me.

Well, it's only been 6 months out of 24. Still much more memories to make and take with me. I hope to continue having fun. :)
