SO.... I confess that I neglected to write my final posts during my study abroad time. I was very busy during my final weeks in Copenhagen. My second class in Copenhagen was Positive Psychology. During the course, we were exposed to different ways of thinking and formed new beliefs. In the process, I know that I improved myself as not only a student but on a more personal level. During this class we went on a study tour to Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland. While on our study tour we were exposed to meditation to create mindfulness, a positive psychology clinic, practicing acts of random kindness using monetary value, and pushing ourselves to try new things by paddle boarding or canoeing down a loch. After returning to Copenhagen, my thinking process was completely transformed. I gained awareness of the now and how to obtain my own happiness. I gained knowledge that I was never aware I could gain and I began to see this way of thinking all around me.
At the end of this course, I knew why I was drawn to study abroad in Denmark. The Danish are one of the happiest people in the world and after experiencing their culture and everyday lifestyles, I was able to gain a sense of happiness.
The kind of happiness that will stay with me forever.
Bottom line, Studying abroad can be a challenge. It's a journey, but a journey always consists of ups, downs, and lessons learned throughout. This journey will change your life. This journey can bring you happiness and joy that you could never have imagined. This journey is indescribable and individuals to every person. This journey is YOUR JOURNEY, so take your next step.
Where do you want to start? I started mine in Copenhagen, Denmark.
