From Rome With Love [Study Ablog]

Today’s study ablog post is written by Breanna Browne, a junior SPA currently studying abroad in Rome!
When you go abroad you will learn things. Sometimes being abroad will change your conception of time.

Forum(1) — The Roman Forum, for instance, dates back over 2000 years.

Or sometimes it will change your conception of gravity.

Sometimes being abroad will change your idea of passion.

This is a Roma soccer game where they set off fireworks in the stands.

Sometimes it will change how you think about food.

These grapes are growing in the soil burnt by lava from the famous Vesuvius that covered Pompeii.

Or how you think about money.

And that doesn’t even start to talk about the things you’ll learn about yourself. Sometimes being abroad will be scary. You might not know the language or the customs or where you are or how to get home.

And sometimes the scariness will make you want something from home. Sometimes it will make you want to go home. And that’s okay.

Because other times, you will feel like this. And these moments, when you find yourself on an adventure making a fool of yourself, will make every moment worth it.
