Questions, Questions*, Vragens


With my trip to Belgium close enough  that I can see my arrival weather in the 
5 day forecast, I'm definitely getting a wee bit angsty. 

Common symptoms of this abroad preparation stage include, but are not limited to:

- Retorting that you hate politics and foreign nations (an issue if you're interning for the EU....)
- Claiming you don't feel like studying abroad right now (umm too late, girlfriend) 
- Stuffing shirts into boots (all 3 pairs)
- Wanting to buy out all Candy Corn and Pumpkin Spice Lattes in reach (is that a thing over there?)


At this stage, the common worry-filled student may also entertain a myriad of questions about her upcoming trip. 

- SHOULD I BRING "FEMININE PRODUCTS" WITH ME?
- DOES CHRISTINA SNORE?
- IF I STOP EATING NOW WILL I BE SKINNY ENOUGH TO GO TOPLESS IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE, SHOULD THE NEED OCCUR?
- DO EUROPEAN GIRLS GET PIMPLES?
- SHOULD I PACK A HALLOWEEN COSTUME?
- WHERE IS MY AMERICAN FLAG BANDANNA?
- DO THEY LIKE STRIPES IN EUROPE?



FuN FaCt: The Crying Girl Meme was a girl going abroad. 






* According to Google Translate, 
the French word for "Questions" is "Questions". 
Yes, this totally killed my creative title idea.

  2. Morgan, have a great time and eat some French fries for me -- with mussels-- and I will save you a bag of candy corn for when you come back.
