It was during my last week that I realized that I am leaving Germany for good. As I am getting packed to go off to college. After all these years I spent in Europe, from being born there to graduating high school, I was going to a new place that will be my new home. I kept on telling myself that college is way different that high school, where I am going to be more independent.

So during that time, the classes I had originally picked out, some of them were full already, so I had to change the class times. After I registered for class, I just had to wait until school
